    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cervical cancer; human papilloma virus; HPV; screening; HPV test; self-sampling; sentinel node;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer is the fourth most common reason for cancer death amongst women worldwide, with 500 000 new cases every year. Most of these women live in developing countries. Cervical screening programs can reduce the incidence by 50%, but are not common in the developing world. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Human papillomavirus and cellular biomarkers in cervical cancer

    Författare :Malin Kaliff; Gabriella Lillsunde-Larsson; Mats G. Karlsson; Tina Dalianis; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cervical cancer; HPV; screening; triage; prognosis; genotype distribution; multiple HPV; HPV-negative; viral load; methylation;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer (CC) is caused by a persistent infection of certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Even though great progress has been made in strategies for prevention, and treatment of CC, there is still a need for improved methods in screening and management of women diagnosed with CC. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Self-sampling for HPV testing in primary cervical screening : Including clinical and health economic aspects

    Författare :Riina Aarnio; Matts Olovsson; Ulf B. Gyllensten; Ingrid Wikström; Christer Borgfeldt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV; self-sampling; cervical screening; CIN2 ; cost-effectiveness; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prerequisite for the development of cervical cancer. HPV testing has higher sensitivity for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) than cytology, resulting in more effective screening. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Self-sampling by elderly women for the detection of HPV and cervical dysplasia

    Författare :Ruth S. Hermansson; Matts Olovsson; Christer Borgfeldt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV; self-sampling; cervical dysplasia; elderly women.; Hälso- och sjukvårdsforskning; Health Care Research;

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden, about 30% of the cervical cancer cases occur in women older than 60 and the mortality rate is as high as about 70% in this age group. There is a lack of knowledge concerning the prevalence of infection with oncogenic types of HPV, and cervical dysplasia in women of 60 years and older. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Significance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Analysis for the Detection of Precancerous Cervical Lesions : Impact of Self Sampling

    Författare :Karin Sanner; Matts Olovsson; Ingrid Wikström; Erik Wilander; Sven-Eric Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :human papilloma virus; HPV; self-sampling; organized screening; cervical cancer screening; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer, with about 500 000 new cases per year among women worldwide. With a well-organized screening programme the number of cases can be reduced by more than 50%. In spite of having such a screening programme there are still around 450 new cases yearly in Sweden.
