Core Tip |
Cervical cancer (CC) burden in developing countries remains important because of the difficulty in implementing cytology-based screening programmes. With the introduction of new technologies, resear-chers have attempted to find new strategies for CC screening adapted to these countries. Rapid human papillomavirus (HPV) tests are one of these advantageous methods. However, HPV testing has a low positive predictive value for CC, so a triage test is needed. Visual inspection tests, cytology and novel biomarkers are some options. We provide an overview of current and emerging screening approaches for CC. We discuss the challenge of implementing an efficient CC screening adapted to developing countries and the opportunity to introduce primary HPV-based screening with the availability of point-of-care tests.
