ACCP summarizes new evidence on cervical cancer screening

ACCP has published a new fact sheet summarizing recent data on cervical cancer screening approaches for low-resource settings. This summary presents evidence published since ACCP's 2009 article (see below) on alternative screening approaches.

New evidence continues to support the feasibility and accuracy of screening technologies that are alternatives to resource-intensive Pap smears. Comprehensive prevention programs that include human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination of young adolescent girls before exposure to HPV, timely screening with HPV testing or visual inspection for mid-adult women, and appropriate treatment can dramatically reduce cervical cancer mortality.


September 2009 article by ACCP partners

Sherris J, Wittet S, Kleine A, et al. Evidence-Based, Alternative Cervical Cancer Screening Approaches in Low-Resource Settings. International Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. 2009;35(3)147-152.


New evidence on the impact of cervical cancer screening and treatment using HPV DNA tests, visual inspection, or cytology

This 3-page fact sheet puts new evidence from India into context and provides guidance relating to investment in visual inspection-based screening programs in low-resource settings. The document seeks to help program managers and decision-makers interpret and use the new data.

Ten Key Findings and Recommendations for Effective Cervical Cancer Screening and Treatment Programs

In early 2007, the ACCP partners met to assess newly-analyzed results of key studies in India, South Africa, Peru, and Thailand. These new data spurred the partners to outline ten key findings and recommendations for global policy and practice related to cervical cancer screening and treatment in low-resource settings.

BBC World Kill or Cure? episode on cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine features the ACCP

BBC World’s third series of Kill Or Cure? provides a look at screening strategies to prevent cervical cancer and the development of a vaccine to protect against the human papillomavirus (HPV), the cause of cervical cancer. The documentary features ACCP projects in Costa Rica and India. First aired on BBC World on Friday, October 7, 2005 as a 30-minute film, you may now view a shortened version online by clicking below.

ACCP supplement of International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics: "Alliance for Cervical Cancer Prevention: Shifting the Paradigm". (Vol 89, Supplement 2, May 2005)

In a new special supplement of the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, the ACCP summarizes 5 years of experience in the prevention of cervical cancer in developing countries. Two of the eight articles report the results of research on innovative approaches to screening and treatment in low-resource settings. Three articles highlight the Alliance 's findings from various projects exploring programmatic issues of service delivery, clinical training, and community involvement. One article underscores the critical role of advocacy efforts at the international, regional, national, and local levels for raising awareness and gaining support for prevention program policy. The final paper analyzes the implications of the ACCP's efforts and the current status of cervical cancer prevention worldwide.
