Human papillomavirus testing for primary cervical cancer screening

Carolyn D Runowicz et al. Curr Oncol Rep. 2008 Nov.

Abstract

With our understanding of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer, the availability of HPV testing, and the known limitations of cervical cytology, it is time to reassess cervical cancer screening technologies. This article reviews recent randomized trials comparing primary HPV testing with cervical cytology in screening for cervical cancer, and also analyzes the impact of the HPV vaccine on screening cytology.
