Pap Smear & Cervical Cancer Screening – Samcare Clinic, Kepong
At Samcare Clinic, we believe that prevention is better than cure — especially when it comes to cancer. Our Pap smear and cervical cancer screening services in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur are designed to detect early changes in cervical cells before they develop into cancer.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Malaysia. Routine Pap smear tests are crucial for women’s health and are recommended every 3 years for women aged 21 to 65.
What Is a Pap Smear?
A Pap smear is a simple and quick procedure where cells from the cervix are gently collected and sent to a lab for analysis. It helps detect:
- Pre-cancerous or abnormal cell changes
- Signs of infection or inflammation
- Risk factors for cervical cancer
The test usually takes less than 10 minutes and may cause mild discomfort, but it’s not painful. Our doctors ensure you feel at ease throughout the process.
Who Should Get Screened?
We recommend Pap smear testing for:
- Women aged 21–65
- Sexually active women
- Women with a family history of cervical cancer
- Women with HPV (Human Papillomavirus) history
Additional HPV Testing
For women over 30, we may recommend combining a Pap smear with an HPV test for a more comprehensive screening. HPV is the virus responsible for most cases of cervical cancer, and early detection ensures timely intervention.
