Cervical cancer (CC) screening in women comprises human papillomavirus (HPV) testing followed by cytology triage of positive cases. Drawbacks, including cytology’s low reproducibility and requirement for short screening intervals, raise the need for alternative triage methods. Here we used an innovative...
More intensive screening strategies would be considered cost-effective when using the GDP per capita as the threshold (Additional file 2: Figure S9). The year of cervical cancer elimination would thus be 11 years ahead of that using median income as the threshold (Additional file 2: Figure ...
Women from newcomer and immigrant populations from South Asia tend to have lower rates of cancer screening, even in countries with publically funded programs and universal health coverage [46], [47]. Health inequity has recently become a subject of interest to legal and human rights groups, ...

(HSIL)12, terms that describe the type of cells viewed. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2 and 3 biopsy results denote a precancerous condition with potential to develop into cancer: 1/3 to 1/2 of HSIL and CIN 2 or 3 lesions might develop into invasive cervical cancer, 10% to ...
cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates have declined substantially in Western countries with the introduction of screening programmes, which detect pre-invasive disease on cervical smears [52]. However, the survival rates for patients who present with invasive cervical cancer have not improved over...
In Ethiopia, cervical cancer is ranked as the second most common type of cancer in women and it is about 8 times more common in HIV infected women. However, data on knowledge of HIV infected women regarding cervical cancer and acceptability of screening is scarce in Ethiopia. Hence, the pres...
