Organised cervical screening

An Organised Cervical Cancer Screening Programme (OCCSP) was started in Poland in 2006/2007. Each woman aged 25 to 59 is eligible for a free Pap test every 3 years in OCCSP. Despite implementation of the OCCSP, the age-standardised cervical cancer (CC) incidence and mortality rates in 2019 were 7.3/100 000 and 3.9/100 000 respectively and were still higher than those in Western European countries with well-organised screening programmes.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) calls for the elimination of cervical cancer (CC) as a public health issue. To achieve elimination, efforts must be aligned and accelerated. Women living with HIV (WLWH) have excess risk for developing, and dying from, CC over the general population.

Organised cervical screening, introduced in 1991, appears to have reduced rates of cervical cancer incidence and mortality in women in Australia. This study aimed to assess whether cervical cancer rates in migrant women in the state of New South Wales (NSW) showed a similar pattern of change to that in Australian-born women after 1991.

Well-organised quality-controlled screening can substantially reduce the burden of cervical cancer (CC). European guidelines (EuG) for quality assurance in CC screening provide guidance on all aspects of an organised screening programme. Organised CC screening in Poland was introduced in 2007.

Cervical cancer (CC) incidence in Estonia is the third highest in Europe, even though an organised nation-wide screening program has been in place since 2006. The aim of the study was to analyse the incidence and survival of CC in Estonia, focusing on age, morphology and stage at diagnosis.

In contrast, only three percent of women who had a negative HPV DNA test for 13 high risk types developed CIN3+ within the timeframe of the study, indicating that frequent screening of these women may be unnecessary. The researchers found that although infection with some types, such as HPV 53, 56, 59, and 68, were prone to persist for 2 years, they did not lead to lesions during the entire follow-up period. A study in Italy18 investigated the efficacy of HPV DNA testing for CIN and cervical cancers and supported the use of stand-alone HPV DNA testing as...

Quality assurance of the screening process requires a robust system of programme mana- gement and coordination, assuring that all aspects of the service are performing adequa- tely. The first edition of the European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Cervical Cancer Screening emphasized the principles of organised, population-based screening and was in- strumental in initiating pilot projects in Europe. More than a decade has passed since pub- lication of the first guideline edition.
