DelMed Health in Lewes, Delaware, provides cervical cancer screening and coordinates mammogram orders through outside imaging facilities. Dr. Moise reviews your medical history, family history, and previous results to help determine appropriate testing and follow-up.
A Pap test looks for abnormal cervical cells, including changes that could develop into cancer. HPV testing checks for high-risk types of human papillomavirus associated with cervical cancer.
All Pap specimens collected at DelMed Health are sent to Doctors Pathology Services for ThinPrep Pap testing with reflex HPV testing. Specimens are collected during your office visit, and laboratory testing is completed outside our practice.
Screening follows its own schedule based on your age, medical history, and previous results. A yearly gynecology visit does not automatically mean a yearly Pap test. Bring prior screening reports or let us know where records can be requested.
An abnormal Pap result or a positive HPV test does not necessarily mean you have cancer. Follow-up depends on the result and your history and may involve repeat testing or closer examination of the cervix.
When appropriate, Dr. Moise performs colposcopies and cervical biopsies in the office. A colposcopy allows a closer look at the cervix; a biopsy collects tissue for laboratory analysis. If specialist care is needed, our office can help coordinate a referral.
Dr. Moise routinely performs a clinical breast examination as part of DelMed Health's yearly gynecology visits. A clinical breast examination does not replace recommended mammography.
He can order mammograms and discuss appropriate next steps based on your history and results. Mammograms are performed at outside imaging facilities; breast imaging and breast biopsies are not performed at DelMed Health. Learn more about our breast health services.
Screening checks for disease before symptoms develop. Tell us promptly about a new breast lump, unusual vaginal bleeding, bleeding after menopause, or persistent pelvic symptoms, even if a recent screening result was normal. Symptoms need evaluation rather than waiting for your next routine screening appointment.
A Pap test screens the cervix; it does not screen for ovarian or uterine cancer. These symptoms can have many causes, and reporting them does not mean you have cancer.
At DelMed Health, yearly visits routinely include both pelvic and clinical breast examinations, along with a review of your health and concerns. Pap testing and mammography follow their own schedules. Learn about the full visit on our Wellness Exams page.
A female member of our office staff is available to be present during your examination upon request. These staff members are nonclinical and do not perform examinations or provide medical care. Let us know about questions or concerns before testing begins.
Dr. Moise speaks English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole.
