Cervical cancer screening in Denmark covers most women aged 23-59. Despite high screening rates, data suggests a potential shift towards longer screening intervals may be possible.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Denmark's cervical cancer screening programs are managed regionally, with national guidelines established in 1986 and nearing full implementation by 1998.
  • Regional politicians and health authorities are responsible for organizing screening efforts across 15 counties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of cervical cancer screening in Denmark.
  • To assess the coverage and frequency of Pap smear tests within the Danish population.
  • To evaluate the potential for adjusting national screening recommendations based on current data.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review on cervical cancer screening in Denmark.
  • Analysis of local screening guidelines and national recommendations.

  • Interviews with pathologists to gather expert insights.
  • Collection of data on the education and training of cytotechnologists.

    • Main Results:

    • In 1997, 90% of women aged 23-59 and 46% of women aged 60-74 were included in organized screening programs.
    • Approximately 650,000 Pap smears were collected annually, indicating screening of women aged 25-59 occurred, on average, every two years.
    • The national recommendation advocated for screening every three years.

    Conclusions:

    • The incidence of cervical cancer in Denmark is declining.
    • There is a potential to consider extending the screening interval for cervical cancer.
    • Further detailed data on the performance of screening programs is necessary before revising Danish recommendations.
