A recent study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences examined the implementation of a government-led cervical cancer screening program in Ordos City, China. The study found that using human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing as a primary screening method, followed by triage with visual inspection using acetic acid and Lugol iodine, was effective in detecting cervical precancerous lesions among HPV-positive women. The study included 187,863 women aged 35 to 64 years, and the overall prevalence of HPV positivity was 12.8%. The findings suggest that this screening method may be beneficial in areas with limited healthcare resources. [Extracted from the article] |
