Cervical Cancer?: It is very rare that a physician can see that the cervix is cancerous during the pelvic exam. The skin that is collected with the pap smear is what is diagnostic. The goal with pap smears is to catch changes in the cervix that can predict risk of cancer before you get cancer. That is why it is so important to have these on a regular basis.
