TRANSCRIPT: Douglas Lowy, M.D., discusses pap smears and worldwide cervical cancer prevalence.


If everyone had routine Pap smears, we could prevent almost all cervical cancers today. However, the developing world doesn't have the same financial resources, and the preponderance of cervical cancers occur in the developing world. There is really no alternative in the developing world, so the opportunity to save lives and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer is greater there.
