Women of Doncaster are being urged to attend their smear tests as this week marks Cervical Cancer Prevention Week.

In South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw approximately three in four eligible women attend for their screening appointments.

It is estimated that early detection and treatment through cervical screening can prevent up to 75 per cent of cervical cancers from developing. So if you are aged 25-49 years old and haven’t had your smear in the last three years, or are between 50 and 64 years old and haven’t had a cervical screening test in the last five years you can visit the new “Fear or Smear” website which may help answer any concerns you may have, dispel any myths or fears, and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
