Anal PAP/HPV Tests
Anal PAP (cytology) and HPV tests are screening procedures used to detect abnormal cells or high risk strains of HPV in the anal canal. Similar to cervical PAP tests, these tests involve collecting cells from the anal lining for examination. Early detection of abnormalities can help prevent the progression of anal cancer.
