The Pap smear for cervical cancer screening was first introduced in the 1940s.

The addition of high-risk human papillomavirus DNA testing (HPV testing) has improved sensitivity for cervical cancer screening. Primary high-risk HPV testing is now available for use in the United States. The procedure for Pap smear and HPV testing is discussed, as well as screening recommendations and management guidelines.
