Breast cancer is most easily treatable if it is caught early. Mammograms can often catch tissue changes well before a patient or physician could feel them. Women ages 40 to 74 should get a mammogram every one to two years, even if they do not have a family history of breast cancer.

Cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treated cancers if it is found early or in the pre-cancer stages. Women ages 21 to 65 should get a Pap test every three years. Those between 30 and 65 may be able to get a Pap test every five years if they do HPV testing with or without a Pap test.

Chlamydia infections are the most frequently reported communicable disease in Utah, and Utah lags well behind the national rate for screening. Chlamydia is curable; however, it is often symptomless and therefore goes untreated. If it is not treated, it can lead to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or other problems. Women ages 16 to 24 who are identified as sexually active should be tested for chlamydia every year. Sexual activity is nationally identified and defined by claims for services such as urine pregnancy tests, birth control prescriptions, Pap testing, or STD screening.
