I am writing a lecture for hospital personnel in Honduras. I need to refer to cancer screening programs, such as pap smears.

Hi FVPrice,

The work you are doing is extremely important...and can save lives...and reduce suffering...(for mammograms = mamografías)...también, the CDC (centers for disease control and prevention) has more information en español:

www.cdc.gov/spanish/

Great work!
