Cervical cancer is the second
most common cancer among
women worldwide, and this
book is a teaching manual on
VIA and VILI to train health
personnel, especially in developing
countries, with the aim
to detect this disease in the
early pre-invasive phase and
save women’s lives.
Two simple, low-technology
screening tests, namely visual
inspection with acetic acid
(VIA) and with Lugol’s iodine
(VILI) – based on the ability of
the trained health-care personnel
to detect acetowhite
areas, or yellow non-iodine uptake
areas, in the cervical
transformation zone – are
being evaluated as potential alternatives
to cervical cytology.
