Could you help me better understand cervical cancer screening and other screenings I should consider now? Cervical cancer screening does more than look for cancer. HPV test alone every five years, Pap test alone every three years, or combined Pap and HPV (called co-testing) testing every five years. The decision to stop cervical cancer screening should always be made together with a healthcare professional. Keeping track of when your last Pap test, HPV test, mammogram or colorectal screening occurred can help ensure that care isn’t delayed.
