Adequate negative prior screening test results are defined as three consecutive negative cytology results, two consecutive negative cotesting results, or two consecutive negative hrHPV test results within 10 years before stopping screening, with the most recent test occurring within the recommended screening interval for the test used (1, 5). There is moderate or high certainty that the service has no net benefit or that the harms outweigh the benefits. For more information on the USPSTF grades, see https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Name/grade-definitions Primary hrHPV testing is FDA approved for use starting at age 25 years, and ACOG, ASCCP, and SGO advise that primary hrHPV testing every 5 years can be considered as an alternative to cytology-only screening in average-risk patients aged 2529 years. Women with ASC-US who have had liquid-based cytologic screening should be tested for high-risk HPV, and those with positive results (i.e., presence of high-risk HPV DNA) should have colposcopy. Destruction of normal cervical tissue should be minimized when possible, and observation may be sufficient for many adolescents. Given these concerns, ACOG, ASCCP, and SGO continue to recommend cervical cancer screening initiation at age 21 years. 104 0 obj <> endobj Persistent disparities in cervical cancer screening uptake: knowledge and sociodemographic determinants of Papanicolaou and human papillomavirus testing among women in the United States.

The new guidelines rely on individualized assessment of risk taking into account past history and current results. Importantly, changing the paradigm of management from results-based to risk-based allows for incorporation of future technologies. The new recommendations are more precise and tailored to many factors that determine a persons risk of cervical cancer and precancer, such as their age and past test results. Higher rates of CIN 2 and 3 and cervical cancer have been found in persons with ASC-H, but no studies have addressed ASC-H in adolescents. The value of genotyping for surveillance in different clinical settings (post colposcopy and posttreatment) and the additional risk stratification of more detailed genotyping are being assessed and guidance will follow in subsequent updates of the Guidelines.
