Abstract:
This thesis provides a social history of the introduction the Pap smear and the expansion of population-based cervical screening programs in Australia throughout the latter decades of the twentieth century. By placing cervical screening in a broad social context, this history helps to reveal the complex interrelationship between developments in scientific medicine, social, political and economic concerns, changing beliefs and attitudes, and the growing influence of commercialisation and consumerism. It also highlights the tendency for public health strategies to serve as a means of social and

Women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus are at increased risk for developing cervical cancer. Current guidelines reflect that Pap smears should be performed twice during the first year after diagnosis with HIV and annually thereafter. However, women with HIV are not obtaining Pap smears per the current guidelines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate HIV-infected women's attitudes toward cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening.

Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in United States with more than 12,000 women diagnosed each year and more than 4,000 preventable deaths with minorities disproportionally represented.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer affecting women in developing countries and accounted for 84% of the global incidence of cervical cancer in 2012. Nicaragua is one country illustrating this disparity, with an annual cervical cancer mortality six times the U.S. rate. This may be explained by lack and poor utilization of effective screening programs, especially the Papanicolaou, or Pap, smear.

Abstract:
Cervical cancer is a disease that annually claims the lives of over a quarter of a million women. A substantial number of these deaths could be prevented if population wide cancer screening, based on the Papanicolaou test, were globally available. The Papanicolaou test involves a visual review of cellular material obtained from the uterine cervix. While being relatively inexpensive from a material standpoint, the test requires highly trained cytology specialists to conduct the analysis. There is a great shortage of such specialists in developing countries, causing these to be grossly overrepre

Cervical cancer, a completely curable disease with early detection and management, is an international concern. Early identification allows for treatment of the disease, which prevents or slows progression, ultimately reducing morbidity and mortality. Due to the regressive nature of most cervical lesions, the duration between cervical cytology has been lengthened to prevent over diagnosis and treatment.

The national health insurance had performed free service for the Pap smear screening test since July 1995 to establish the need of long-term regular follow up of cervical pre-cancerous diseases. Dose this effort really increase women’s medical utilization and decrease the occurrence of cervical invasive cancer？Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate utilization

碩士<br>臺北醫學大學<br>醫務管理學研究所<br>96<br>Background: Cervical cancer is the leading cancer for women in Taiwan. The incidence and mortality rates are both high and therefore cause huge burden to the society. Long-term effectiveness of different cervical cancer screening tests and strategies is of necessity to be explored. Since 2003, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing for women over 30 years of age and had abnormal Pap test results, to determine whether they need to be referred for further examination. HPV DNA testing can identify the high-

Its ability to reduce the mortality and morbidity of cervical cancer is through mass screening to early detect dysplasia or pre-invasive cancer cells. Classical cytological diagnosis is based on microscopic observation of specialized cells and qualitative assessment using descriptive criteria, which may be inconsistent because of subjective variability of different observers. Recently, web-based learning is becoming prevalen

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Screening for cervical cancer using the Papanicolaou smear, or Pap test, is now accepted as a key factor in the prevention of cervical cancer. Evidence from case-control and correlation studies indicates that cervical screening and treatment of pre-cursor lesions can reduce the incidence of invasive carcinoma. It has been estimated that up to 90% of invasive cervical cancer could be prevented if all at-risk women were screened at three-yearly intervals. However, the potential benefits of cervical screening are not being achieved fully in many

Using computers as an assistance is expected to increase the diagnostic accuracy. The need of an efficient boundary detection algorithm plays an important role in developing an useful computer-assisted diagnostic system. Traditional edge detection techniques are more useful for images with homogeneous foreground and background. If the images are corrupted with noise or artifacts, they are prone to generate segmented edges. Kass et al. in 1987

In most developed, higher-educated country,the majority of the female population receive regular Pap smear, and hence the incidence of invasive or late stage cervical cancer is relative low. In contrast, in those developing,or under-developed country ,the percentage of women receiving regular Pap smear is lower, and cervical neoplasm is more often diagnosed in the invasive or even later stage.General speaking,the incidence of invas
