Re: Gyn: Cervical Cancer ScreeningFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Thu Jan 10 16:12:29 2008
Dear all: If you are 30 or more, you can do both, and if both are negative, the patient is good for 3 years without screening. It is inappropriate under 30 due to the high prevalence of HPV in that age group. Our "routine" paps include reflex testing for high risk HPV on all patient, UNLESS we order both cytology and HPV in the 30+ people as primary screening. ASCCP has guidelines, as does ACOG, for this.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
