A member asked:
Is getting a endocervical curettage same as pap ? what is difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A pap smear of the cervix removes shedding or "dead" cells from the outside and opening of the cervix. An endocervical curettage uses a device to "scrape" live cells from the endocervical canal which is far more accurate.
