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

2. Self-sampling for HPV testing in primary cervical screening : Including clinical and health economic aspects
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
3. Self-sampling by elderly women for the detection of HPV and cervical dysplasia
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
4. Identification and clinical implementation of biomarkers for cervical cancer
Sammanfattning : Introduction of organised screening programs and prophylactic vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV) have successfully reduced the incidence of cervical cancer globally. In Sweden, the incidence has been reduced by about 50 % since the introduction of the national screening programme in the late 1960’s. LÄS MER
5. Cervical cancer studies on prevention and treatment
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
