The PAP Screen, or Pap smear, is specifically designed to detect cervical cancer and pre-cancerous changes in the cells of the cervix. This test involves collecting cells from the cervix and examining them under a microscope to identify any abnormalities that may indicate the presence of cervical cancer or conditions that could lead to it. It plays a crucial role in women's health by enabling early detection and treatment of cervical cancer, significantly improving outcomes.

While other options relate to different types of cancer, they do not align with the purpose of the PAP Screen. Prostate cancer, liver tumors, and testicular tumors require different screenings and diagnostic procedures; for example, prostate cancer commonly involves the PSA test or Digital Rectal Exam, while liver tumors might be assessed through imaging studies or liver function tests. Hence, the PAP Screen is uniquely focused on cervical cancer detection.
