PURPOSE Cervical cancer screening is not well implemented in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Mobile health (mHealth) refers to utilization of mobile technologies in health promotion and disease management. We aimed to qualitatively synthesize published articles reporting the impact of mHealth on cervical cancer screening–related health behaviors. METHODS Three reviewers independently reviewed articles with the following criteria: the exposure or intervention of interest was mHealth, including messages or educational information sent via mobile telephone or e-mail; the comparison was people not using mHealth technology to receive screening-related information, and studies comparing multiple different mHealth interventional strategies were also eligible; the primary outcome was cervical cancer screening uptake, and secondary outcomes included awareness, intention, and knowledge of screening; appropriate research designs included randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental or observational research; and the study was conducted in an LMIC. RESULTS Of the 8 selected studies, 5 treated mobile telephone or message reminders as the exposure or intervention, and 3 compared the effects of different messages on screening uptake. The outcomes were diverse, including screening uptake (n = 4); health beliefs regarding the Papanicolaou (Pap) test (n = 1); knowledge of, attitude toward, and adherence to colpocytologic examination (n = 1); interest in receiving messages about Pap test results or appointment (n = 1); and return for Pap test reports (n = 1). CONCLUSION Overall, our systematic review suggests that mobile technologies, particularly telephone reminders or messages, lead to increased Pap test uptake; additional work is needed to unequivocally verify whether mhealth interventions can improve knowledge regarding cervical cancer. Our study will inform mHealth-based interventions for cervical cancer screening promotion in LMICs.

PURPOSE Globally, cervical cancer affects more than a half-million women each year, with disproportionate incidence and mortality for women in low- and middle-income countries. Early detection through cervical cancer screening saves lives but is hampered by poor coverage, suboptimal detection accuracy, and lack of access to and delays in effective treatment. METHODS Emerging evidence that indicates how the vaginal microbiome can modify progression of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer pathogenesis is surveyed. This presentation features a discussion of how the vaginal microbiome may affect cervical cancer screening and how cervical cancer screening may incorporate vaginal microbiome health in low- and middle-income countries. RESULTS Vaginal dysbiosis as a clinical syndrome may be called bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition that represents a shift from a Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbiome to one that is polymicrobial and often associated with increased mucosal inflammation. Meta-analyses and prospective studies demonstrate an association between vaginal dysbiosis and increased risk of HPV incidence and persistence and high-grade lesions and cancer. Increasing vaginal microbiome diversity is associated with progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Vaginal microbiota that are associated with greater likelihood of HPV detection in molecular studies are also commonly associated with BV. There are numerous challenges to incorporating microbiome measurement in population-level cervical cancer screening and unanswered research questions on its immediate utility. BV may serve as a measure of vaginal microbiome health, although there are no guidelines or recommendations for regular BV screening and treatment. CONCLUSION Ongoing and planned longitudinal studies should evaluate BV screening in association with high-risk HPV, results of cervical cancer screening, and progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia to assess the utility of BV screening and treatment as an adjunct to cervical cancer screening and potential intervention.
