1. Prevention of cervical cancer through use of liquid-based cytology and supplementary HPV testing in population-based screening
Abstract : The aim of this project is to evaluate an alternative screening strategy using liquid- based cytology (LBC), and supplementary detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) in cases of minor cytological abnormalities (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, ASCUS, and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, LSIL). Within population-based screening in Stockholm, Sweden, we alternated screening using LBC with supplementary HPV testing in ASCUS and LSIL (LBC+HPV testing, using Linear Array HPV genotyping Assay, Roche diagnostics) and conventional cytology (CC), from September 2005 to December 2006.

4. Human papillomavirus and cervical cancer : detection of potential markers of disease progression using liquid-based cytology
Abstract : This protect aims to evaluate alternative strategies to screen for cervical cancer including liquid-based cytology (LBC) with supplementary reflex testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), p16INK4a, HPV-L1 capsid protein, and miR-205 for use as possible diagnostic and prognostic markers in women with abnormal findings detected through the organized cervical cancer screening program. This split-sample study enrolled 137 women with atypical Pap smear findings to compare the effectiveness of conventional cytology (CC) with LBC cytology for cervical cancer screening. READ MORE
