An update on the available cancer screening guidelines, benefits/limitations, and risks for cervical, breast, prostate, colon, and lung cancers.
Cervical Cancer
HPV Self-Screening Is Effective in Rural Communities
At-home HPV self-sampling may be a viable option to increase cervical screening rates in rural, underserved women.
Cervical Cancer Screening Rates Decreased 80% During COVID-19 Lockdown in California
Cervical cancer screening rates remained below normal levels even after the stay-at-home order was lifted.
ASTRO Issues First Guideline on Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer
There is strong evidence supporting the use of radiation therapy for nonmetastatic cervical cancer.
Pap/HPV Cotesting Better for Cervical Cancer Screening in Over 30s
Dr Harvey W. Kaufman and colleagues examined the results of LBC/HPV cotesting in 13,633,071 women aged ≥30 years, tested in 2010 to 2018.
Artificial Intelligence Provides Benefit for Cervical Cancer Screening
For women undergoing HPV-based cervical cancer screening, automated evaluation of p16/Ki-67 dual-stained slides reduces the number of colposcopies compared with current standards.
Copper Intrauterine Devices Tied to Lower Risk for Cervical Cancer
Findings based on comparison to hormonal intrauterine devices.
Cervical Cancer Screening Remains Low in Women Ages 45 to 65 Years
Screening rates are insufficient to reduce cervical cancer incidence.
Stress Linked to Mortality in Cervical Cancer
Researchers sought to identify the potential influence of stress-related psychiatric disorders and stressful life events on cancer-specific mortality in women with cervical cancer.
Higher Surgical Volume May Improve Outcomes in Cervical Cancer
Findings show radical hysterectomy at high-volume centers tied to better survival in early cervical cancer.
