AI Article Synopsis
- In 1967, Malmöhus county in southern Sweden launched a cytological screening program aimed at early detection and prevention of cervical cancer.
- Over a decade, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer was reduced to about 25% among women participating in the program.
- However, overall statistics for the female population showed no significant decrease, indicating the need for thorough individual follow-up and data management to assess the effectiveness of such programs.
Article Abstract
A cytological screening program for the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer was started in the county of Malmöhus, southern Sweden in 1967. The incidence of invasive cervical cancer among women properly attending the screening program has been reduced over the 10 years to about one quarter of the incidence before the initiation of the program. Figures calculated from the whole female population, however, did not indicate a significant decrease in incidence. Adequate individual follow-up combined with computerized administrative programs and population registers seem to be necessary whenever the effects of a mass screening program are evaluated.

Nursing interventions play a critical role in enhancing the quality of life (QoL) and therapeutic outcomes for cervical cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, variations in nursing interventions and patient results require a meta-analysis to consolidate evidence on the most effective nursing approaches. This meta-analysis assessed how nursing care interventions influence QoL, adherence to chemotherapy, and the management of symptoms in cervical cancer patients.

Background: Objectives were to determine the prevalence/incidence of HPV-related dysplasia and clearance/acquisition rates of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) genotypes in genital mucosa of women-LHIV and oropharyngeal and anal mucosa of PLHIV and to evaluate factors related to HR-HPV infection in oropharyngeal mucosa at 12-months.
Material And Methods: Prospective, longitudinal study with 12-month follow-up, enrolled PLHIV between December 2022 and April 2023. At baseline and 12-months, HIV-related clinical and analytical variables were recorded, oropharyngeal mucosa exudates were taken for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) studies for HPV and other sexually transmitted infections, while anal and female genital samples were self-sampled for HPV detection and genotyping by PCR and thin-layer cytology.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.
