Pap Smear Errors
Pap smears and other cervical screening techniques are conducted in order to detect female reproductive system abnormalities such as cervical cancer. Results of pap smears are reviewed and analyzed by doctors and other medical professionals who look for abnormal cells.
A recent study in Great Britain revealed that the results of many pap smears are misread, leading doctors to pronounce women cancer free when in fact the pap smear indicates otherwise. Such mistakes lead to delayed diagnosis of cervical cancer, which in turn may result in women unnecessarily undergoing hysterectomies and some tragically succumbing to cancer.
