Background: Cervical and breast cancer are the most common in our country. Early detection is crucial for timely treatment due to their high morbidity and mortality rates. In Peru, the rate of screening tests (mammography and Pap smear) has increased; however, it still falls below the latest recommendations. Objectives: To determine the frequency of Pap smears and mammography in women in Peru according to the ENDES 2022 survey and the sociodemographic variables they correlate with. Materials and Methods: An observational, descriptive, correlational, and secondary study of the 2022 National Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) database, which interviewed 18 243 women aged 15 to 97 years. Results: 5 636 participants answered mammography questions (average age of 51.9 years), and 13 021 answered Pap smear questions (average age of 38.6 years). Women aged 70 and older had a higher rate of mammography, while those aged 35 to 44 had a higher rate of Pap smears. 62.4 % had their last mammogram done more than 2 years before the survey, and 29.1 % had a Pap smear done more than 3 years before the survey. Conclusions: 23.7 % and 78.5 % of participants had undergone mammography and a Pap smear at some point in their lives, respectively. A statistically significant association was found between the completion of these tests and age, education level, and degree of instruction.
