   Sammanfattning : Background: Participation in screening is associated with a major risk reduction in cervical cancer, but there is a lack of knowledge on whether the cost to the individual has an effect on the participation rate. Women with abnormal findings at screenings are referred for colposcopy. LÄS MER

3. 7. Women’s encounters with biomedical technology in the realm of cervical cancer screening

   Författare :Anette Forss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : As a form of biomedical technology, the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear has been described as the most widely used and established cane er- screening tool in the world. In Sweden, Pap smear technology triggered what is today an established secondary preventive intervention directed towards 'healthy' women to detect those at risk for developing cervical cancer, a potentially fatal disease, as well as those with the disease.

4. 8. New diagnostic and prognostic methods to improve the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening

   Författare :Maria Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :HR HPV DNA;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis has made use of real-life clinical practice to provide guidance for secondary prevention of cervical cancer. We combined epidemiological, virological and biostatistical investigations using HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA tests in women who were identified with abnormal findings through the organised cervical cancerscreening programme.

5. 9. Human papillomavirus and cervical cancer : detection of potential markers of disease progression using liquid-based cytology

   Författare :Ingrid Norman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : This protect aims to evaluate alternative strategies to screen for cervical cancer including liquid-based cytology (LBC) with supplementary reflex testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), p16INK4a, HPV-L1 capsid protein, and miR-205 for use as possible diagnostic and prognostic markers in women with abnormal findings detected through the organized cervical cancer screening program. This split-sample study enrolled 137 women with atypical Pap smear findings to compare the effectiveness of conventional cytology (CC) with LBC cytology for cervical cancer screening. LÄS MER

7. 10. Knowledge, familiarity and perceived quality of care : midwives' knowledge of and women's experience with population-based cervical screening programme in Stockholm

   Författare :Eva-Lisa Lundgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The current study is part of an interdisciplinary project on population-based screening for cervical cancer, entitled "Between Sickness and Health: A Multidisciplinary Study of a Population-based Cervical Screening Programme in the Stockholm-Gotland Region". This interdisciplinary research project commenced in 1995 in order to generate a multi-facetted overview of cervical cancer screening. LÄS MER
