The Mississippi Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program strives for early detection of cancer in those women at highest risk.

Typically, these are the uninsured, the medically underserved, minority, and elderly women. These women are more likely to have advanced disease when symptoms appear, reflecting differences in access to screening and care.

With federal and matching funds, MSDH offers Pap exam screening services at health department clinics, Community Health Centers and private providers to uninsured women 18 years of age and older. Mammography screening is available through contract providers to uninsured women 50 years of age and older.
