Survivorship today is forward-looking, hopeful, and deeply personal, a reminder that life after cancer can be meaningful, full, and beautifully lived.

At Alabama Oncology, we’re here to support you beyond treatment with personalized survivorship care, ongoing monitoring, and resources designed to help you move forward with confidence.

How often do you really need a Pap smear?

In general, screening follows age-based guidelines designed to balance early detection with avoiding unnecessary testing.

Most people ages 21–29 need a Pap smear every 3 years, while those 30–65 may screen every 3 years with a Pap test, every 5 years with HPV testing, or every 5 years with both.

After 65, screening may stop if prior results have been consistently normal.

What to know: these are general guidelines.

Your personal screening schedule may differ based on risk factors like prior abnormal results, immune status, or medical history.

The best next step is a conversation with your care provider to determine what’s right for you.

Did you know there’s a vaccine that can prevent most cases of cervical cancer?

The HPV vaccine works by protecting against the high-risk strains of human papillomavirus that cause the majority of cervical cancers.

In simple terms, it helps the immune system recognize and stop the virus before it can damage cervical cells and lead to cancer.

During Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, it’s an important reminder that prevention plays a powerful role in women’s health.

The vaccine is most effective when given before exposure to HPV, which is why it’s recommended at a younger age, but it can still benefit many teens and adults.

When combined with regular Pap tests and HPV screening, vaccination significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer. Awareness, prevention, and early detection together save lives.

Do you really need a Pap smear? The short answer is yes, and here's why.

Pap tests are designed to detect abnormal cervical cells early, often long before cancer develops, when treatment is most effective.

During Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, it’s an important reminder that regular screening is a key part of prevention, even if you feel healthy or have no symptoms.

When combined with HPV testing, Pap smears help identify risk early and significantly reduce the likelihood of cervical cancer.

Early detection saves lives, and staying current with screenings is one of the most proactive steps you can take for your health.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when caught early, yet symptoms can be subtle or easy to dismiss.

Being aware of changes in your body matters.

Signs like abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, after in*******se, or after menopause), pelvic pain, pain during in*******se, unusual vaginal discharge, or persistent lower back discomfort should never be ignored.

While these symptoms don’t always indicate cancer, they are important signals to talk with your healthcare provider.

Routine screenings, including Pap tests and HPV testing, remain one of the most effective tools for early detection, often identifying changes before cancer develops at all.

At Alabama Oncology, we believe education and early action save lives. If you have symptoms, risk factors, or are due for screening, our team is here to provide guidance, answers, and compassionate care every step of the way.

January’s cold temperatures can be especially challenging during cancer treatment, when the body may be more sensitive to weather changes and illness. ❄️

Taking a few extra precautions can help.

Dress in warm layers, moisturize skin to prevent dryness and cracking, stay hydrated even when you don’t feel thirsty, and limit exposure to crowded indoor spaces to reduce infection risk.

Be sure to tell your care team about new symptoms like chills, persistent cough, or unusual fatigue.

At Alabama Oncology, we’re here to support you with guidance and care through every season of treatment.

A new year brings a fresh opportunity to be proactive about your health, and cancer prevention should be part of that plan.

Scheduling recommended screenings can make a critical difference, especially for those with risk factors such as family history, age, smoking history, HPV exposure, or prior abnormal results.

Screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies, Pap tests, and low-dose lung scans help detect cancer early, when treatment options are often more effective, and outcomes are stronger.

At Alabama Oncology, our team is here to help you understand your individual risk, stay informed, and take confident steps toward prevention and early detection in the year ahead.

Nearly 99% of cervical cancer cases are caused by high-risk HPV, which means this cancer is often preventable.

Regular Pap tests can detect abnormal cervical cells early, before cancer develops, and HPV testing helps identify risk even sooner.

The HPV vaccine further reduces risk by protecting against the most common cancer-causing strains.

At Alabama Oncology, education, screening, and early detection are key parts of protecting women’s health and improving outcomes.

As the new year settles in, this can be a meaningful time to pause, adjust, and find your footing moving forward.

Early January often brings changes in schedules, routines, and priorities, and taking a moment to check in on your care can help the weeks ahead feel more manageable.

This is a good time to review upcoming appointments, confirm prescriptions, and make sure medications and care plans still align with your current needs. Small check-ins now can help reduce stress, prevent delays, and create a smoother rhythm for the months ahead.

If you’re navigating new routines, transportation needs, caregiver support, or questions about what’s next, resources are available to help you move forward with confidence.

At Alabama Oncology, our team is here to support you by answering questions, helping coordinate care, and walking alongside you as you adjust to the year ahead.

01/06/2026

Nearly all cervical cancers are preventable, with routine screening playing a critical role in early detection and improved outcomes.

Cervical cancer awareness is about education, access, and progress.

Regular screenings help identify changes early, often before cancer develops, while ongoing advances in care continue to improve long-term outcomes.

Together, awareness and routine care remain some of the most effective tools in reducing the impact of cervical cancer.

At Alabama Oncology, we’re committed to supporting patients through every stage of care and advancing conversations that help protect long-term health.
