Unfortunately, you can still get cervical cancer when you are older than 65 years. The only way to know it is safe to stop being tested after age 65 is if you have had several tests in a row that didn't find cancer within the previous 10 years, including at least one in the previous five years.

Read More »Some women who are 65 years old or older should be screened for cervical cancer. One type of cancer that only women can get is cancer of the cervix, or cervical cancer. Most cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). The only sure way to find out if you have cervical cancer is to get a screening test (a Pap test and/or an HPV test). If you are a woman who has not had her cervix removed by surgery (a hysterectomy), keep getting tested until you are at least 65 years old. However, a recent study found that some women do not continue to get screened for cervical cancer as they get closer to 65 years old. Unfortunately, you can still get cervical cancer when you are older than 65 years. The only way to know it is safe to stop being tested after age 65 is if you have had several tests in a row that didn’t find cancer within the previous 10 years, including at least one in the previous five years. For the Pap test alone, you should have three normal tests in a row. For the Pap-HPV co-test, you should have two normal tests in a row. Screening after age 65 may be appropriate for some women at high risk, including women with a history of cervical lesions or cancer, women whose mothers took a hormone called diethylstilbestrol (DES) while pregnant, or women who have a weakened immune system. Women at high risk should talk with their doctors about how often to get screened and until what age.

About one woman out of 20 between 66 and 70 years old has never been tested. An older woman, until she’s in her 80s, who has not had a hysterectomy, is at least as likely to get cervical cancer as a younger woman. Cervical cancer incidence rates increased with age and were higher for Black women than White women.
