Cervical cancer screening in France is suboptimal. Integrating high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) testing, alongside vaccination, can improve detection and population coverage for better cancer prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Virology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Cervical cancer is a significant health concern for young women in France, with current screening methods like Pap smears showing limitations in sensitivity and coverage.
  • Despite prophylactic HPV vaccination, inadequate screening practices and a lack of organized programs contribute to missed or delayed diagnoses.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the utility of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) testing in the secondary prevention of cervical cancer.
  • To analyze existing publications and evidence levels regarding HR HPV testing's effectiveness in cervical cancer screening.

Summary:

  • High-risk HPV (HR HPV) testing offers high sensitivity and excellent negative predictive value for detecting precancerous cervical lesions, overcoming the inter/intra-observer variability of Pap smears.

  • While HR HPV test specificity is lower than Pap smears, managing false positives is feasible using residual cytology. Self-sampling options can enhance population coverage.
  • Organized screening programs incorporating HR HPV testing, vaccination, and extended testing intervals (as suggested by recent trials) can improve cost-effectiveness and public health outcomes.

    • Impact:

    • Implementing organized cervical cancer screening with HR HPV testing can significantly improve population coverage and early detection rates in France.
    • This approach supports vaccination efforts and integrates new technologies for more effective secondary prevention.
    • Optimizing screening intervals based on HR HPV testing can enhance cost-effectiveness, making advanced diagnostics more accessible.
