Should a developmentally delayed woman have regular pelvic and breast exams?

I have a mentally retarded 31 year old niece who has never had a pelvic exam or a breast exam. As my sister is dead, I’ve been helping her father take care of her. We cannot find anyone to examine her as they say she doesn’t need it as she is not sexually active. My niece is mentally retarded but still a young woman. Can she not get cancer like other women who are not sexually active do? Please provide us with an answer.
