Objective
The objective of the present proposal is to elaborate the research data needed to design a cost-effective strategy for cervical cancer screening in Brazil and Argentina, by using a combined cross-sectional (n=26.000) and cohort (n=1.250) study of women examined in four different clinics for the prevalence, pathogenesis and natural history of CIN and HPV (human papillomavirus) infections. The performance of the traditional diagnostic tools (cytology, colposcopy) is compared with the HPV detection methods (Hybrid Capture II and PCR) and suggested screening tools for low-resource-settings (aided visual inspection, cervicography and self-sampling for HPV) in detecting significant cervical pathology. Based on these data, health care systems in these two countries can be improved by designing the cost-effective strategy for cervical cancer control, with particular focus in increasing the coverage of the vulnerable groups.
