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.

HPV DNA testing over 50 percent more sensitive than cytology testing
HPV DNA testing for precancers and cervical cancers is over 50 per cent more sensitive than cytology testing for the same conditions a community-based study in Mexico has revealed. View More (2010-07-09)
HPV testing could be future strategy for primary screening for cervical cancer (pp 1866, 1871)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 5 December 2003. Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET propose a new approach for cervical cancer screening. Testing for the human papilloma virus (HPV)-the main cause of cervical cancer-could be the primary screening tool, with cytology reserved for women who test positive for HPV. HPV testing (by genetic analysis) of cervical smears is known to... View More (2003-12-03)
HPV testing finds precancerous lesions at a higher rate than conventional pap smears
Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing was more sensitive than traditional Pap smears at detecting precancerous lesions of the cervix. View More (2006-06-07)
Cervical cancer screening method should be changed, research suggests
Cervical cancer screening intervals could be extended to five years for women aged 30 and over if the primary screening method was human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, say scientists at Queen Mary, University of London. View More (2010-04-28)
HPV test detects more pre-cancerous cells than conventional smear test
Human papillomavirus (HPV) screening detects more cervical severe pre-cancerous lesions than conventional cervical screening, finds a study published on bmj.com today. View More (2010-04-28)
Measurement of urinary protein can help detect recurrent bladder cancer
Measurement of a certain protein in urine can increase the ability to detect bladder cancer recurrence, with test results available during the patient's visit. View More (2006-01-18)
New cervical smear tests perform no better than conventional tests
New cervical smear tests are unreliable and should not replace conventional tests according to a study in this week’s BMJ. View More (2003-04-02)
Mayo Clinic finds new pathology tests double sensitivity to detect bile duct and pancreatic cancers
Pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer are difficult to diagnose and often fatal because they are discovered in the advanced stages of the disease. View More (2009-06-01)
Conventional, annual Pap smear cost-effective follow-up after cervical lesion treatment
A study of the options for reducing cancer incidence and mortality among women who have been treated for precancerous cervical lesions found that an annual conventional Pap smear is a cost effective strategy. View More (2010-10-21)
Simple diagnostic test detects genetic signs of lung cancer in a patient's sputum
DNA coughed up along with phlegm could point to lung cancer, say researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine who are developing an inexpensive and non-invasive gene probe to help diagnose early stage lung cancer in current and former smokers. View More (2007-01-19)
HIV-infected women do not appear to be at increased risk of cervical cancer
HIV-infected and uninfected women with normal cervical cytology (Pap test) and a negative test result for oncogenic (tumor inducing) human papillomavirus DNA at study enrollment had a similar risk of cervical precancer and cancer after 5 years of follow-up, according to a study in the July 25 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on HIV/AIDS.

Research To Improve Screening For Warts Linked To Cervical Cancer Risk
Researchers are testing thousands of cervical smear samples to try and identify which types of wart viruses may lead to cancer. They will also examine the benefits of a new form of smear testing. Collaborating scientists and doctors from the University of Edinburgh, Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust- and Lothian GPs- are creating a bank of thousands of cervical smear samples to test for...

HPV test is a better long-term predictor of cervical cell abnormalities than pap smear
The best initial cervical cancer screening tool for younger women is still the traditional Pap smear. However, a large Danish study has found that for older women (age 40 and older), a test for human papillomavirus (HPV) is a much more effective way to screen for potential cancer.

Vaccination and testing for the human papilloma virus could eradicate cervical cancer
Cervical cancer could be eradicated within the next 50 years if countries implement national screening programmes based on detection of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes the disease, together with vaccination programmes against the virus, according to a cervical cancer screening expert.

HPV testing: Indications of a benefit in primary screening
Studies currently available provide indications and a "hint" that precursors of cervical cancer can be detected and treated earlier, and consequently tumours occur less often, in women who underwent testing for human papillomavirus (HPV). View More (2012-01-25)
A virtual atlas of breast histopathology: An application of web based virtual microscopy
Researchers at the universities of Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) have developed a new virtual microscopy system, which allows users digitize entire microscope glass slide specimens, and then create a virtual slide with the quality and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a microscope. The results are high-resolution digital images viewable through a standard web browser,... View More (2004-11-26)

New screen-and-treat methods for cervical cancer significantly reduce cancer precursor lesions
A new study led by Columbia University Medical Center researchers demonstrates the safety and efficacy of two low-tech diagnostic tools to significantly reduce the prevalence of cervical cancer precursor lesions. View More (2005-11-03)
