Introduction
CERVICAL CANCER
The relatively high incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in women above the current screening age have raised concern in countries with well-established cervical cancer screening programs [We evaluated whether a catch-up HPV screening intervention, with the opportunity to choose between vaginal self-sampling and clinician-based sampling, was associated with high screening uptake and higher CIN2+ detection as compared to women not offered HPV screening. Secondly, we evaluated if insufficiently screened women were more likely to undergo vaginal self-sampling than sufficiently screened women. Finally, we estimated the benefit–harm ratio of the intervention as number of colposcopies needed to detect one CIN2+ case.
