The patient who is at higher risk for being diagnosed with cervical cancer in the later stages is the one who has not had a Pap smear in the longest amount of time. In this case, the 55-year-old African American woman who had a Pap smear six years ago is the only patient who fits that criteria. It is recommended that women get a Pap smear every three years, so the other three patients have had more recent screenings.
