Article Synopsis
- The study focused on assessing the effectiveness of HPV self-sampling combined with cytology triage in detecting cervical lesions among women who typically skip cervical screenings in Ebetsu City, Japan.
- A total of 6,116 non-attenders were invited to participate, resulting in a response rate of 15.9%, with HPV testing yielding higher participation than cytology.
- The results showed that HPV self-sampling significantly increased detection rates of high-grade cervical lesions compared to cytology alone, suggesting it could be an effective alternative for increasing screening rates, especially during times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
