ABSTRACT
Cancer screening programs have been successful in reducing the
incidence and mortality due to cervical cancer. For more than a decade,
the human papillomavirus test has been recommended as part of
these programs, however, Pap tests is not currently recommended for
women ‹21 years of age or in those with total hysterectomy for benign
disease, unrelated to cancer or precursor lesions of malignant diseases.
This is because most of the anomalies observed in adolescents regress
spontaneously, and cytological screening tests for this age group cause
unnecessary anxiety, additional testing and, therefore, a higher cost.
Moreover, there is little evidence that cytology is useful in women
after hysterectomy, finding that outcomes are not improved. In women
›65 years of age who participated adequately in screening programs,
continuing with these screening programs is not needed. Screening
programs will be different in special populations at greatest risk where
tests are frequently needed or use of alternative methods.
