Cervical cancer screening strategies: not the test you take, but the decision you make

Giorgio Bolis

Starting from May 1, 2017 in Australia the National Cervical Screening Program will shift from cervical cytology every two years, to HPV DNA testing as the sole primary screening test every five years in women aged 25 to 74 years, together with the implementation of an active HPV vaccination program. Conversely in Japan cervical screening using cytology every two years is still being recommended for population-based and opportunistic screening. While Canadian guidelines also recommend cervical screening with cytology every 3 years, in Europe cervical cytology is recommended for women under 30-35 years, and HPV testing as the sole primary screening test every 5-10 years for women above 30-35 years.
