Five area doctors have recommended essential tests for women to ensure they stay healthy at all stages of their lives. Enrique Hernandez, chair of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Temple's School of Medicine, recommends a Pap smear for his patients beginning at age 12, to look for cervical cancer. "We're looking for abnormal cells that reflect the presence of pre-cancerous cells," he said. "There are only about 12,000 new cases of cervical cancer a year, because of the Pap smear."
