Catch it early save your life. Summary Well, we hope that this video has answered some of your questions and concerns about cervical cancer. Let us summarize a few important things for you. Women over the age of 21 and women of any age who are sexually active should talk to their doctor about having yearly Pap smear exams for cervical cancer as well as pelvic exams as part of their doctor visits. The better you understand cervical cancer, the more power you have to make the right choices for your own body and health. You can call the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute for more information or visit their web sites.
