Study shows that anal cytology predicts anal precancer in HIV-positive gay men
HIV-positive men who have sex with men are up to 90 times more likely than the general population to develop anal cancer. Detection of precancerous changes (anal dysplasia) by anal cytology — essentially an anal canal Pap smear — is a relatively new procedure and one that has yet to enter standard practice. view more (2007-03-22)
Cervical screening is working well, but is labour intensive
The NHS cervical screening programme is working well and preventing deaths, but is labour and resource intensive - around 1,000 women need to be screened for 35 years to prevent one death, say researchers in this week's BMJ. Dr Angela Raffle and colleagues analysed the screening records of 350,000 women over 20 years and modelled cases of cervical... view more... (2003-04-23)
Smoking and cervical cancer: How can we get women smokers to listen?
Smoking doubles the risk of serious cervical problems and, amongst women with low-grade cervical disease, stopping leads to a reduction of the disease in a least half of them. Simply informing women that smoking increases their risk of cervical cancer may not result in smoking cessation. Understanding why women may not accept such information is... view more...

'WAIT AND SEE' POLICY' SUGGESTED FOR WOMEN WITH ABNORMAL CERVICAL SMEARS IN PRESENCE of HIGH-RISK HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (p 1782)
Women with abnormal cervical smears (mild to moderate dyskaryosis) and who are positive for the high-risk form of human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) should not be treated for at least 6 months after cytological screening to see if the virus disappears, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. If viral clearance occurs,... view more... (2001-11-21)
Updated data on novel HPV vaccine confirms efficacy in large population

Self-collection of specimens for HPV testing
n this Research letter, Dr. Gina Ogilvie and colleagues investigate the feasibility of self-collection of specimens for HPV testing among women who may not make full use of cytology screening programs (e.g., women who are homeless or who are involved in the sex trade) and are thus at increased risk of cervical cancer. view more (2007-08-28)

In the United Kingdom postmenopausal women who are at little risk of developing cervical cancer remain in the screening programme until the age of 64. In this week's BMJ, Chris Sherlaw-Johnson and colleagues from University College London and Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham use a mathematical model to assess whether these low risk women could... view more...
