Key screenings and tests include the Pap smear, HPV test, mammogram, pelvic exam, and bone density test. Each of these tests serves a specific purpose:
- Pap Smear: Detects precancerous or cancerous cells in the cervix. - HPV Test: Identifies high-risk HPV strains that can lead to cervical cancer. - Mammogram: Screens for breast cancer. - Pelvic Exam: Assesses the health of the reproductive organs. - Bone Density Test: Evaluates the risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women.
