Secondary Prevention of Cervical Cancer
Key Points
Key Points
- ASCO published its first guideline on secondary prevention of cervical cancer in 2016. This guideline updates the previous. New and altered recommendations for 2022 are identified; others remain the same as in 2016.
- Resource stratified guidelines provide recommendations given the level of resources in particular settings.
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing is recommended in all resource settings; visual inspection with acetic acid may be used in the basic setting.
- Women who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive should be screened for HPV after diagnosis and twice as many times throughout their lifetime as those in the general population.
