Australia has been a leader in HPV-prevention and cervical cancer screening for decades. Because of this, it is now close to eliminating cervical cancer entirely. However, recent drops in vaccination and screening rates threaten this progress.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) released new recommendations for cervical cancer screening that focus on HPV testing and approve the use of self-collected samples.
A new study comparing cancer screening rates from 2019 (pre-pandemic) to those in 2021 (mid-pandemic) and 2023 (post-pandemic) found that cervical cancer screening rates lagged behind.
HPV self-collection is a great new option for cervical cancer screening. It is easy to do, and lets you avoid a speculum exam which many people find uncomfortable.
