Yes, you can get a pap smear before surgery for an ovarian cyst. It would be wise to do so, so that any abnormal result might be evaluated at the same time as the surgery.

What type of cancer does a pap smear test for?

A pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It can't diagnose cancer, but can determine which women need further testing. Occasionally, the pap smear can happen to find signs of endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining), but a normal test doesn't eliminate the possibility of endometrial cancer. The Pap smear process can also check for cancer of the vagina or anal cancer, but it is used for those purposes only in specific circumstances. A pap smear does not check for ovarian cancer.
