醫(yī)學英語輕松學 第5期:宮頸癌

美國的宮頸癌患者有所減少，但是每年確診人數(shù)仍然超過了1.2萬人，4千人死亡。

宮頸癌患者的減少主要歸功于對宮頸刮片的檢查，以及復查工作。

Pap testing is no longer recommended every year.

我們不建議女性每年進行宮頸刮片檢查。

Beginning at age 21, women should have a Pap test every three years.

從21歲起，女性應該每三年接受宮頸刮片檢查。

At age 30, they can choose to get a Pap test and an HPV, or human papillomavirus, test and extend screenings to every five years.

30歲時，女性可以選擇接受宮頸刮片，或是人乳頭瘤病毒檢測，并每五年擴大篩查范圍。

Most women can stop getting screened after age 65 or after a total hysterectomy, unless it was related to cancer.

年齡到達65歲，或是因癌癥而接受子宮切除術的女性可以停止篩查。

All women should talk to their health care provider and develop a plan for screening for cervical cancer.
