DOCTOR; The Pap smear and the D&C are looking for two completely different disease processes in the body.The Pap smear detects precancerous or cancerous cells of the cervix,the mouth of the uterus.The D&C is looking for precancerous or cancerous cells or other abnormalities of the endometrium,high up inside the uterus.The D&C tells almost nothing about the cervix,and the Pap smear tells almost nothing about the part of the uterus above the cervix
