New publication: Key issues that need to be considered while revising the current Annex of the European Council Recommendation (2003) on cancer screening

27/01/2020
This article demonstrates the needs for an update of the European Council recommendations on cancer screening published in 2003 to take into account the introduction of the new tests or protocols (newly defined age ranges for mammography screening, HPV-based cervical cancer screening, fecal immune-chemical test and sigmoidoscopy) and the need to pragmatically assessed the outcomes of recent randomized trials published on screening for lung and prostate cancer.

New publication: Comparative performance evaluation of different HPV tests and triaging strategies using self-samples and feasibility assessment of thermal ablation in 'colposcopy and treat' approach: a population-based study in rural China

27/01/2020
Human papillomavirus (HPV) test, self-sampling, and thermal ablation have been developed separately to improve coverage and compliance of cervical cancer screening programmes. In this study, authors evaluated their combinations to explore the optimal cervical cancer screening cascade in the real-world. They found that the combination of PCR HPV test followed by HPV 16/18 triaging on self-collected samples and colposcopy of triage-positive women followed by immediate thermal ablation might be the appropriate screening cascade for rural China.

Video: Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 2020 with Dr Partha Basu

14/01/2020
Dr Partha Basu, Head of the IARC Screening Group, presents an overview of the worldwide burden of cervical cancer and how IARC is working to eliminate this preventable disease. Current research projects include a project assessing vaccine efficacy, projects to improve access to vaccination and screening, and projects to improve treatment of cervical precancer in low- and middle-income settings. All of these contribute to WHO’s Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative and provide evidence to support guidelines and policy to. Watch video.

New publication: Efficacy and immunogenicity of a single dose of human papillomavirus vaccine compared to no vaccination or standard three and two-dose vaccination regimens: A systematic review of evidence from clinical trials

26/12/2019
The Screening Group is delighted to present the findings of this systematic review published in Vaccine. This review supports the premise that one HPV vaccine dose may be as effective in preventing HPV infection as multi-dose schedules in healthy young women. However, it also highlights the paucity of available evidence from purpose-designed, prospectively-randomised trials. Results from ongoing clinical trials assessing the efficacy and immunogenicity of single-dose HPV vaccination compared to currently-recommended schedules are awaited. View the article.
