    Sammanfattning : Population-based cervical cancer screening programs (PCCSPs) were introduced in Stockholm in the 1960s; today all women residents aged 23-60 are invited to a cost-free Pap smear at regular intervals. A shift in scientific knowledge has occurred, with clarification of the link between human papilloma virus (HPV) and cervical cancer (CC), and the introduction of HPV-vaccines for primary prevention of CC.

  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. Infections and infectious related morbidity during pregnancy : short and long-term effects

    Författare :Susanne Buchmayer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the association between infections during pregnancy and risks of miscarriage, preterm delivery and later development of autism. We identified 60 755 women with singleton births between 1973 and 2000 in the counties of Uppsala and Gävleborg who had a Pap smear taken during pregnancy. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Risk factors for cervical cancer development

    Författare :Anthony S Gunnell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer mortality globally, predominantly in less developed countries. It is widely accepted that certain oncogenic types of HPV (Human papillomavirus) are necessary causes of cervical cancer development and a number of co-factors (including smoking) have also been implicated.

  7. 10. 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
