Human papillomavirus DNA testing for cervical cancer screening in low-resource settings.
BACKGROUND In many low-resource settings, there are barriers to cytologic screening for cervical cancer. This study evaluates human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing as an alternative screening method. METHODS Cervical samples from 2944 previously unscreened South African women aged 35-65 years were tested for high-risk types of HPV with the use of the Hybrid Capture I (HCI) assay. Women also ...
متن کاملCervical Cancer Screening in Low-Resource Settings.
Cytology-based cervical cancer screening programs require a number of elements to be successful. Certain low-resource settings, like the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands, lack these elements. Implementing alternative cervical cancer screening strategies in low-resource settings can provide consistent, accessible screen-
متن کاملRecent Evidence on Cervical Cancer Screening in Low-Resource Settings
The current fact sheet presents evidence from selected reports of screening and treatment that have been published since the paper cited above was written, in both lowand high-resource regions. This recent information continues to support the use of HPV DNA technologies and—until low-cost versions are available for use in developing countries—the use of visual inspection methods for cervical ca...
متن کاملScreening of uterine cervical cancer in low-resource settings
cervical cancer is the second most common malignant disease of women worldwide, and accounts for about one tenth of the total number of female cancer deaths. Even though uterine cervical cancer has been decreased as a result of widespread use of effective screening tests for premalig-nant lesions in developed countries, the cancer burden such as incidence and mortality is disproportionately hig...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus testing for primary screening of cervical cancer precursors.
Our objective was to determine whether the addition of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing to screening cytology improves the detection of cervical cancer precursors. Women of ages 18-69 years underwent conventional Pap cytology and HPV DNA testing in a multicenter study in Newfoundland, Canada. Those with positive cytology and/or HPV and a random sample of those with dual negative results were ...
