WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Noting that the risk of
cervical cancer increases
with the number of sexual
partners, a U.S. government
advisory committee
recommended Friday that
all non-virginal
reccive Pap smear tests
every one to three years.

The National Institutes of
Health panel said the simple
screening procedure should
be started soon after a
woman begins sexual activity
and should begin with two
Pap smears a year apart.

Dr. Maureen Henderson,
of the University of
Washington and the head of
the committec, said if the
first two Pap smears find no
abnormalities, then a
woman's risk of developing
cancer of the cervix drops
significantly despite her
sexual experience.

cervical cancer and 16,000
more advanced cases are
expected to be discovered
this year in the United
States. The American
Cancer Society estimates
7,400 American women died
of the disease in 1979.

The Pap smear, developed
by Dr. George Papanicolaou
52 years ago, detects ab-
normal cells in the cervix. It
allows doctors to find the
earliest stages of cervical
cancer at a time when the
disease is considered almost
100 per cent curable, often
with only treatment in the
doctor's office.

The cause of cancer of the
cervix is not known but Dr.
Henderson said numerous
studics have linked it
somchow to sexual in-
tercourse. She said scientists
think some type of infectious
agent may have a role and,
