Одной из задач нашего исследования был анализ данных скрининговой программы по раннему выявлению раковых и предраковых заболеваний шейки матки в ГП №5, который показал, что процент охвата скрининговой программой целевой группы соответствует государственной программе. Качество проведения скрининговой программы в ГП№5 значительно улучшилось, снизился процент неинформативного материала. Большинство женщин, которые умерли от рака шейки матки, относятся к возрастной группе 80 лет и старше. One of the objectives of our study was to analyze data from the screening program for early detection of cervical cancer and precancerous diseases in GP №5, which showed that the percentage of coverage of the target group's screening program corresponds to the state program. The quality of the screening program in GP№5 has significantly improved, and the percentage of non-informative material has decreased. Most women who have died from cervical cancer are in the age group of 80 or older.

Abstract Background Despite the low incidence of cervical cancer in Kuwait in 2018, it is projected that it will increase by 48% by 2035. This is of concern considering that cervical cancer is a preventable disease if detected early. With limited research in this area in Kuwait, we sought to assess the prevalence of cervical cancer screening (CCS) among Kuwaiti women. Methods This study is part of the WHO's 2014 STEPS risk factor surveillance study. A representative random sample (n = 3915) of Kuwaiti citizens was recruited (response rate= 89.2%). CCS was assessed with the question “Have you ever had a screening test for cervical cancer using any of the methods described above”. All women aged 21-69 years who responded to the CCS question (n = 2183) were included in the analysis. Independent variables included age, area of residence, marital status, level of education, work status, smoking status, BMI level, history of CV disease, and history of diabetes. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and multivariable logistic regression adjusted for participants' characteristics. Results The overall weighted CCS prevalence was 15.7% (95% CI [14.3-17.4]). CCS was associated with age (OR = 5.0 [2.5-10]) for age group 60-69, and OR = 3.1 [1.9-5.1] for age group 45-59 compared to the age group 21-29, area of residence (ORs ranged from 0.3 to 0.5 for those living in different governorates compared to those who lived in the Capital), marital status (OR = 4.4 for married and OR = 5.2 for divorced/widowed compared to those who were single), and level of education (ORs ranged from 2.7 to 2.9 for those who completed at least high-school education compared to those who did not). Conclusions The current uptake of CCS among Kuwaiti women is low. Disparities exist in terms of age, area of residence, level of education, and marital status. More efforts are needed to promote CCS through an organized screening program while considering the existing disparities. Key messages The current use of cervical cancer screening among Kuwaiti women is low. More efforts are needed to promote cervical cancer screening while paying attention to existing socioeconomic disparities.

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally and in Sub-Saharan Africa in particular. There is evidence that early detection and early management of cases are the best strategies to prevent and control this health threat, since treatment of the later stages of the diseases are very expensive. The objectives of the review were: (1) to identify and review studies on the prevalence of cervical cancer and determinants of early detection in Sub-Saharan Africa, and (2) to recommend further studies and interventions based on the findings of this review. Extensive literature search was conducted using the MeSH terms. Articles on cervical cancer and/or determinants of early detection which fulfilled inclusion criteria were reviewed independently by three reviewers. The prevalence of cervical cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa is increasing. Although there are evidences that cervical cancer screening programs are practical and feasible even in resource-limited settings in Sub-Saharan Africa, there is a very low uptake of cervical cancer screening and there are key factors that need to be addressed in order to make these programs established and effective.

Objective To evaluate the impact of an online-delivered, theory-based narrative video on cervical cancer screening knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in a predominantly Latino community. Methods The study design was a nonrandomized pretest–posttest evaluation. The eligibility criteria included men and women 18 years or older not previously enrolled in our community cervical cancer screening program who had internet access. Participants were recruited via in-person county-wide flyer distribution and social media dissemination. The intervention involved a narrative video designed for Latinas delivered via the internet. The 17-minute video is novella style, with a culturally tailored storyline and setting that covers cervical cancer risk factors and statistics, importance of screening, and addresses testing barriers. The measures were knowledge about cervical cancer and screening, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, subjective norms, and self-efficacy. Analysis was performed using change scores for knowledge and psychosocial variables and descriptive statistics for satisfaction and acceptability of the video. Results Data from 227 surveys were analyzed; respondent mean age: 37.6 years; 98.8% female, 88.8% Hispanic; 42.0% had an annual income of $20,000 or less; and 85.2% had at least a high school education. Knowledge and all psychosocial variables improved significantly. More than 90% of the participants rated all of the satisfaction items as good or excellent. Conclusions and Implications for Practice A culturally appropriate narrative video about cervical cancer and screening disseminated online effectively improved knowledge and psychosocial variables among Latinas. Our findings indicate that health promotion interventions online could be effective for improving desired health behavior through a new means of educational dissemination by way of websites and social media outlets.

Cervical cancer screening remains a challenge in developing countries due to a complex array of problems. This paper aimed to describe the experience with organization of cervical cancer screening in three districts of Campinas and the surrounding region in São Paulo State, Brazil, and to report the resulting data. The program was organized in a pyramid format, and the health care hierarchy was defined according to the complexity and total number of medical procedures. Screening has been extended currently to 88 municipalities, of which 51 are equipped with colposcopy and eight have facilities for treating advanced cervical cancer. The standardized incidence rate for cervical cancer in Campinas was 14.2/100,000 women per year in 1993-1995, and the standardized mortality rate per district ranged from 2.7 to 3.0 per 100,000 women in 1997-1998. This project has clearly shown that hierarchical and decentralized organization of health procedures is a necessary condition for achieving the goals of an effective cervical cancer screening program.

Breast cancer screening programs have been effective in detecting tumors prior to symptoms. Recently, there has been concern over the issue of over-diagnosis, that is, diagnosis of a breast cancer that does not manifest prior to death. Estimates for over-diagnosis vary, ranging from 7 to 52%. This variability may be due partially to issues associated with bias and/or incorrect inferences associated with the lack of probability modeling. A critical issue is how to evaluate the long-term effects due to continued screening. Participants in a periodic screening program can be classified into four mutually exclusive groups depending on whether individuals are diagnosed and whether their symptoms appear prior to death: True-earlydetection; No-early-detection; Over-diagnosis; and Not-sonecessary. All initially superficially healthy people will eventually fall into one of these four categories. This manuscript reviews the major methodologies associated with the over-diagnosis and long-term effects of breast cancer screening.
