  2. 1. Significance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Analysis for the Detection of Precancerous Cervical Lesions : Impact of Self Sampling

    Author : Karin Sanner; Matts Olovsson; Ingrid Wikström; Erik Wilander; Sven-Eric Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : human papilloma virus; HPV; self-sampling; organized screening; cervical cancer screening; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer, with about 500 000 new cases per year among women worldwide. With a well-organized screening programme the number of cases can be reduced by more than 50%. In spite of having such a screening programme there are still around 450 new cases yearly in Sweden.

  4. 2. Self-sampling for HPV testing in primary cervical screening : Including clinical and health economic aspects

    Author : Riina Aarnio; Matts Olovsson; Ulf B. Gyllensten; Ingrid Wikström; Christer Borgfeldt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV; self-sampling; cervical screening; CIN2 ; cost-effectiveness; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prerequisite for the development of cervical cancer. HPV testing has higher sensitivity for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) than cytology, resulting in more effective screening. READ MORE

  5. 3. Self-sampling by elderly women for the detection of HPV and cervical dysplasia

    Author : Ruth S. Hermansson; Matts Olovsson; Christer Borgfeldt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV; self-sampling; cervical dysplasia; elderly women.; Hälso- och sjukvårdsforskning; Health Care Research;

    Abstract : In Sweden, about 30% of the cervical cancer cases occur in women older than 60 and the mortality rate is as high as about 70% in this age group. There is a lack of knowledge concerning the prevalence of infection with oncogenic types of HPV, and cervical dysplasia in women of 60 years and older. READ MORE

  6. 4. Identification and clinical implementation of biomarkers for cervical cancer

    Author : Malin Berggrund; Ulf Gyllensten; Stefan Enroth; Matts Olovsson; Pär Sparén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cervical cancer; Human papilloma virus; Screening; Self-sampling; Biomarkers; Vaginal microbiota; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Introduction of organised screening programs and prophylactic vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV) have successfully reduced the incidence of cervical cancer globally. In Sweden, the incidence has been reduced by about 50 % since the introduction of the national screening programme in the late 1960’s. READ MORE

  7. 5. Prevention, incidence, and survival of cervical cancer in Sweden

    Author : Avalon Sundqvist; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cervical cancer; Human papillomavirus; Screening; Self-sampling; Incidence; Net survival;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer is preventable by screening. In 1967, Sweden introduced a cervical screening program. Screening for high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV), the causative factor of cervical cancer, is more sensitive than cytology and can be performed as a self-sample. Non-attendance to screening is a large risk factor for cervical cancer. READ MORE
