Popis: Greater than 80% of the world's new cases and deaths due to cervical cancer occur in the developing world. No more than 5% of women in these settings are screened for cervical cancer even once in their lifetimes. Earlier attempts to establish population-based cervical cancer prevention programs using cytology screening in resource-limited settings have inevitably fallen short or failed. Although many of the reasons for failure can be attributed to lack of resources and trained manpower, the multiple visit requirements of cytology-based screening programs jeopardizes success and sustainability.
