Evidence regarding human papillomavirus testing in secondary prevention of cervical cancer.

TLDR
There exists a substantial evidence base to support that HPV testing is advantageous both in triage of women with equivocal abnormal cytology, in surveillance after treatment of CIN lesions and in primary screening of women aged 30 years or older, however, the possible advantages offered by HPV-based screening require a well organised program with good compliance with screening and triage policies.

Estimates of Incidence and Mortality of Cervical Cancer in 2018: A Worldwide Analysis

TL;DR: The global scale-up of HPV vaccination and HPV-based screening—including self-sampling—has potential to make cervical cancer a rare disease in the decades to come, and could help shape and monitor the initiative to eliminate cervical cancer as a major public health problem.

Metaprop: a Stata command to perform meta-analysis of binomial data

TL;DR: Metaprop was applied on two published meta-analyses of HPV-infection in women with a Pap smear showing ASC-US and cure rate after treatment for cervical precancer using cold coagulation, both of which showed a pooled HPV-prevalence of 43%.

Efficacy of HPV-based screening for prevention of invasive cervical cancer: follow-up of four European randomised controlled trials

TL;DR: Data of large-scale randomised trials support initiation of HPV-based screening from age 30 years and extension of screening intervals to at least 5 years, and provide 60-70% greater protection against invasive cervical carcinomas compared with cytology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carcinogenic human papillomavirus infection.

TL;DR: HPV testing will probably replace cytology-based cervical screening owing to greater reassurance when the test is negative, however, the effective implementation of HPV vaccination and screening globally remains a challenge.

The causal relation between human papillomavirus and cervical cancer

TL;DR: It is the right time for medical societies and public health regulators to consider the causal role of human papillomavirus infections in cervical cancer and to define its preventive and clinical implications.

The Elevated 10-Year Risk of Cervical Precancer and Cancer in Women With Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 16 or 18 and the Possible Utility of Type-Specific HPV Testing in Clinical Practice

TL;DR: HPV screening that distinguishes HPV16 and HPV18 from other oncogenic HPV types may identify women at the greatest risk of > or = CIN3 and may permit less aggressive management of other women with onCogenic HPV infections.

Human papillomavirus DNA versus Papanicolaou screening tests for cervical cancer.

TL;DR: HPV testing has greater sensitivity for the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia than Pap testing, and Triage procedures for Pap or HPV testing resulted in fewer referrals for colposcopy than did either test alone but were less sensitive.
