Screening test: Pap smear is screening test for carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The doctor will scrape the lips of the cervix and send the material to a pathology lab for examination. The procedure is recommended for all sexually active women. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pap-smear/my00090.
