Women with negative baseline Pap and HPV tests are at low risk for developing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3 or cancer in the following 45 months, findings from a new study indicate. This suggests that annual screening may not be necessary for such women.
“I think there has been an increase in the understanding of the science of cervical cancer in the last decade or so,” lead author Dr. Mark E. Sherman, from the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Maryland, told Reuters Health. “Increasingly, it is being recognized that a better approach to screening would involve more frequent screening for women at highest risk for disease and less frequent screening for those at lowest risk,” he added.
