Core Tip

Core Tip: With limited funds, we designed a new strategy for human papillomavirus screening for all women in Changsha every 3 years, to increase screening coverage and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. From 2019 to 2022, 523437 women aged 35-64 years were screened and there were 73313 human papillomavirus-positive women, with a 14% positive rate. The detection rate of precancerous lesions of cervical cancer was 0.6% and the detection rate of cervical cancer was 0.037%. The average screening cost per woman is 120 RMB, with an early detection cost coefficient of 0.15. Our screening strategy was effective and cost-effective.
