    Smear specimen test (for observation under a microscope), specially designed to check cervical cancer. Using a small brush or a flat wooden stick, take the cell samples from the upper part of the vagina and cervix and place them on a glass slide. Under the microscope, you can see if there are cancer cells or other abnormalities. Women who have reached the age of 18 or who have started sex should all begin smear test. Although cervical screening cannot completely prevent cervical cancer, it can still save many women's lives.
