Screening
Accuracy of screening tests
Papanicolaou smear
A systematic review of available studies found the follow results.[1]
| ASCUS or worse | High grade or worse | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sensitivity | specificity | sensitivity | specificity | |
| Conventional method | 88% | 71% | 55% | 97% |
| Liquid-based thin prep | 88% | 71% | 57% | 97% |
A more recent study of the convention method reported very similar results:[2]
- sensitivity 55%
- specificity 94%
Human papillomavirus testing
- sensitivity 95%[2]
- specificity 97%[2]
Combined testing
If either the Papanicolaou smear or Human papillomavirus testing are abnormal:
- sensitivity 100%[2]
- specificity 93%[2]
Effectiveness of screening
In a randomized controlled trial, the addition of Human papillomavirus testing to screening for cervical cancer "reduces the incidence of grade 2 or 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or cancer detected by subsequent screening examinations."[2]
In another randomized controlled trial, the addition of Human papillomavirus testing to screening for cervical cancer led to earlier detection of CIN3+ lesions.[3]
