Cervical cancer ranks as one of Singapore’s top ten cancers affecting women. More than 200 cases are diagnosed each year. Cervical cancer is highly preventable and curable when detected and treated early through regular screening.
#My1stPapTest utilises the ThinPrep Pap Test, a liquid-based cytology similar to the traditional Pap smear. Cells from the cervix are collected and placed into a liquid-based solution for better sample preservation before analysis. This advanced screening technique improves the detection of abnormal cells and increases the accuracy of results.
#My1stPapTest is a campaign jointly organised by Icon Cancer Centre and 365 Cancer Prevention Society to provide seamless access to sponsored pap test for individuals aged 25 to 69 from lower-income families. The sponsored pap test includes pre-screen and post-screen consultation with a medical doctor.
