Coverage rate of opportunistic and organised breast cancer screening in France: Department-level estimation.

Objective: In France, the national breast cancer screening programme (NBCSP), targeting women aged 50-74 years was rolled out nationwide in 2004. It aims at reducing breast cancer mortality. In addition to the NBCSP, the use of opportunistic screening is permitted in France.

Updated evidence-based recommendations for cervical cancer screening in France.

Introduction: A national organized cytology-based cervical cancer screening program was launched in 2018 and rollout is ongoing. Concomitantly, the High Authority for Health (HAS) recently assessed new evidence on primary HPV testing to update screening recommendations.

Methods: The HAS commissioned systematic reviews and meta-analyses to evaluate the effectiveness of primary HPV screening; accuracy of HPV testing on self-samples; effectiveness of self-sampling to reach underscreened women; and triage strategies to manage HPV-positive women.

Comparison of cervical cancer screening by self-sampling papillomavirus test versus pap-smear in underprivileged women in France.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare cervical cancer screening by pap smear (PS) versus preliminary HPV testing based on self-collected samples (SC-HPV).

Methods: Interventional study among underprivileged women from 25 to 65 years old in four French cities. The control group (CG) was referred for a PS.

Social networks and infectious diseases prevention behavior: A cross-sectional study in people aged 40 years and older.
