Coverage of mammography imaging in and outside an organized breast cancer screening program - variation by age and sociodemographic groups.

Introduction: In recent decades, attendance to organized breast cancer screening has been decreasing in European countries. This could be partly due to an increase in the use of opportunistic screening. The aim of this study was to assess the coverage of imaging in and outside the screening program in Finland during the period of 1999-2018.

Lower incidence of vaginal cancer after cervical human papillomavirus screening - long-term follow-up of Finnish randomized screening trial.

Objective: Around 70% of vaginal cancers and 40-50% of vulvar cancers are attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV). Globally the burden of these diseases is estimated to grow due to the increasing HPV prevalence and rapidly aging global population. We aimed to examine if HPV screening for cervical cancer has an additional beneficial effect in preventing vaginal and vulvar cancers.

Similar effectiveness with primary HPV and cytology screening - Long-term follow-up of randomized cervical cancer screening trial.

Background: Long-term effects of primary human papillomavirus (HPV) screening on cervical cancer incidence and mortality are still missing. We conducted a long-term follow-up of the Finnish randomized HPV screening trial, the first HPV screening trial run within the routine screening program, to assess these measures.

Methods: During 2003-2008, over 236,000 individuals were randomized (1:1) to HPV and cytology screening arms in Southern Finland.

Effect of Test History at Ages 50-64 on Later Cervical Cancer Risk: A Population-based Case-control Study.

Unlabelled: As life expectancy increases, the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening programs needs to be reassessed for the older population. We addressed the effect of test history in and outside organized screening at age 50-64 years on later cervical cancer risk. A case-control study was conducted by deriving 229 cases of 65-79 years old women with invasive cervical cancer in 2010-2019 from the Finnish Cancer Registry.
