Updated cervical cancer screening guidelines

Cancer Care Ontario has updated its cervical cancer screening guidelines.  The primary revision provides further clarification on the age of screening initiation and the ideal interval between screenings.  Thus, "cervical cancer screening is recommended every three years for all women starting at age 21 who are or ever have been sexually active."

More information on the updated guidelines is available here.
