What's New
New ACS guidelines for cervical cancer screening.
App Description
The American Cancer Society (ACS), ASCCP, and the ASCP have released new consensus guidelines for the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. Cervical Cancer Prevention Guidelines Calculator helps clinicians navigate the new algorithms for the management of abnormal cervical cancer screening tests. Screening tests include Pap testing, HPV testing, culposcopy, and LEEP biopsy. Treatment methods include excisional biopsy and cervical cryotherapy. The guidelines generally advise a reduction in the number of tests women get over their lifetime to better ensure that they receive the benefits of testing while minimizing the harms, and include a preference for co-testing using the Pap test and HPV test for women age ages 30 to 65 years. The consensus guidelines were created by 47 experts, representing 23 professional societies, national and international health organizations, and federal agencies in Bethesda, MD. The goal of the group was to provide revised evidence-based consensus guidelines for managing women with abnormal cervical cancer screening tests, and cancer precursors.
