Episode 3 in our series will focus on the history of cervical cancer screening, with a special focus on Alberta. Even if you are located outside of our province, you may enjoy learning about different ways to screen for cervical cancer during this podcast. We will first review the basics of cervical cancer screening. Next, we will talk about the history of cervical cancer screening, including how the pap smear was first developed, and how screening initiatives were eventually rolled out in Alberta. Finally, we will talk about two different ways to screen for cervical cancer: conventional cytology and liquid-based cytology.
