Abstract:

Cervical cancer screening, involving Papanicolaou (PAP) smear and assessment of p53 expression, is crucial for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. The aim is to evaluate the concordance between Papanicolaou (PAP) smears and P53 expression in detecting cervical abnormalities in Osogbo women southwest, Nigeria. This cross-sectional study involved 221 women aged 18–65 attending Uniosun teaching hospital for cervical screening between January 2023 and December 2023. Cervical cytology was performed using PAP smears, and P53 expression was assessed through immunohistochemistry of the

Background: Carcinoma cervix is the second most common cancer in women (18%). Cervical smear by routine Papanicolaou (Pap) smear screening has significant rates of false-positive and false-negative results.

Abstract:

Background: Cervical cancer is the most common form of cancer worldwide. Consequently, it is crucial that women are encouraged to undergo interventions early via Papanicolaou (Pap) smear screenings to improve their health. In light of this, this study explored the knowledge of and attitudes towards cervical cancer and Papanicolaou (Pap) smear screenings among women in the Caleb Motshabi district, South Africa. Four focus group discussions were carried out among 19 women. The interviews/discussion were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim and then analysed thematically. In this regard, seven

Background Speculum lubrication may help to reduce the pain experienced during Pap-smear collection and hence increase uptake of cervical cancer screening and repeat testing, but there are fears of its interference with cytological results. Aim To determine and compare the adequacy of cervical cytology smears and the mean pain scores of women undergoing cervical cancer screening with or without speculum lubrication.

An organized cervical cancer screening programme on a national level in Bangladesh can reduce mortality from cervical cancer.
