  2. 11. 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

  4. 12. Cervical cancer screening. Knowledge, attitudes and experiences among women and midwives

    Author : Monica Ideström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : cervical cancer screening; cervical cancer; Papanicolaou smear; knowledge; attitude; ; experience; coping; dysplasia; cervical intraepithelial neoplasia CIN ; midwife; information; Grounded Theory;

    Abstract : Population based cervical cancer screening (CCS), performed by midwives, to detect cellularatypia before it develops into cancer, has been in force in Sweden since the 1970s. Thepositive effects of the subsequent decline in morbidity and mortality due to cervix cancer arewell documented but does screening also have negative consequences?Aims: To investigate knowledge about, attitudes to and experience of CCS (i) among womenin general, (ii) among women with experience of two mildly atypical Pap smears, (iii) amongwomen diagnosed with cervical cancer and (iv) among midwives who manage CCS.

  5. 13. Epidemiologic studies of cervical cancer in Costa Rica

    Author : Rolando Herrero; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cervical cancer; LatinAmerica; Costa Rica; human papilloma-virus; screening; riskfactors; epidemiology;

    Abstract : A case-control study of cervical cancer was conducted in Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico and Panama from 1986 to 1987, to determine risk factors operating in these traditionally high-incidence areas. The study included 759 cases and 1,430 hospital and community controls, and accomplished more than 95% participation rates for both types of participants. READ MORE

  6. 14. HLA predisposition to human papillomavirus induced cervical neoplasia : population based studies from the Västerbotten county in northern Sweden

    Author : Mehran Ghaderi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV) types 16 and 18 is the major cause of cervical neoplasia. Although a high proportion of cervical cancers (CXCA) harbor HPV genomes, only a small number of women infected with high-risk papillomaviruses develop cervical tumors, suggesting that other environmental and/or genetic factors contribute to cervical carcinogenesis.

  7. 15. Optimizing cervical cancer prevention through screening and HPV vaccination

    Author : Klara Miriam Elfström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Effective primary and secondary prevention tools exist for cervical cancer in the form of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines and cervical screening. In order to maximize the impact of prevention strategies in Sweden and European countries, this thesis sought to investigate the long-term effectiveness of different screening strategies and the long-term risk associated with HPV infections, the organization and quality of existing screening programs, and the effectiveness of alternative vaccination strategies.
