Today’s discussion
• “Why”
• “What” do we achieve -Goals & Objectives
• “How” -Methods of screening
• “When” &
• “Whom” - Guidelines
• Visual methods
Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA)
Visual Inspection with Lugol’s Iodine (VILI)
• HPV detection
CYTOLOGY VIA/VILI HPV
Sensitivity 47 - 62% 67 - 79% 66- 100%
Merits Triaging HPV + • Good method for “single • Most objective &
visit” approach reproducible
• HCW workers can do • Very good for peri &
postmenopausal
women - high accuracy
• During
No Lignocaine jelly
Sample both Ectocervix and Endocervix
No airdrying – fix immediately

• Screening group - statistically
significant reduction in cervical
cancer mortality - 31% reduction
(RR - 0.69)
• Till 65 yrs
• Post hysterectomy -
CIN2+ report - continue
screening for 20 yrs from
age of surgery
Triage positive:
VIA
Genotype 16/18
>/=ASCUS-
COLPOSCOPY
• Treated women - post treatment follow up at one year to ensure effective treatment
• Single round of screening in women > 35 yrs 25% reduction in life time risk of cervical
cancer
