The cost of screening incurred by including these age groups has to be weighed against the benefits derived, especially in low-resource settings. In the absence of universal implementation of HPV immunization, there is a felt need to enhance cervical cancer awareness and encourage screening, more ...
More Choices in 2019 JAMA JAMA Insights May 28, 2019 This JAMA Clinical Insights review summarizes recent cervical cancer screening guidelines from the USPSTF, ACOG, and ACS, and proposes an algorithm for responding to abnormal screening results in women at average risk in age group 25 to 29 an...

16, 17 Data were aggregated by 5-year age groups, except for the oldest age group comprising women aged 85 years or older. In this study, the 5-year age groups from 15 years to 44 years were merged to assess the burden of cervical cancer in younger women, particularly because few ...
HPV testing for women in their 20s is controversial as it is highly prevalent but is recommended if the Pap smear is abnormal in this age group. Diagnosis of cervical cancer requires that a sample of cervical tissue (called a biopsy) be taken and analyzed under a microscope. ...
HPV16/18 detection may improve cervical cancer risk stratification and better guide which HPV-positive women warrant immediate colposcopy/biopsy. We estimated risks of cervical precancer and cancer by HPV genotype and cytology during the implementation phase of primary HPV testing in Norway. Methods A...
WebMD's slideshow explains the symptoms, causes, treatments, and survival rates for cervical cancer. A close link to the human papillomavirus (HPV) offers a way to prevent many cases.
Objective: We aimed to determine high risk HPV prevalence and its distribution by age groups. Risk factors, cytological, colposcopic and cervical biopsies results associated with high risk HPV infection in a sample of women who self referred for cervical cancer screening. Methods: In a cross ...
