Reason for new article
This article has been created because the Pap test article contains content that is generally about methods for cervical screening but is not actually the PA test. That content will be moved here. There is also detailed screening information in the Cervical cancer article that might be better off in this article.Alexbateman (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There's already an article on Schiller's test but it isn't mentioned here. Should it be? - TheMightyQuill (talk) 14:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That is a diagnostic test, not a screening test. More apropos to Colposcopy. Zodon (talk) 05:32, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Notes to self or anyone

 * Australia: The National Cervical Screening Program. The program promotes routine screening with Pap smears every two years for women between the ages of 18 (or two years after first sexual intercourse, whichever is later) and 69 years.


 * UK NHS FAQ: Why can't women have cervical screening until they are 25?
 * france, 25-65,, Germany too.

Please feel free to comment on our plan if you have any thoughts. I really love the new section on new innovations in the cervical screening. It helps the readers to know what the current scope of the progress in the field is. I would include another citation after you talk about the reduction in use of annual pap smears. The only other concrete edit I would suggest is to expand on the p16/ki-67 biomarkers. This will help balance out all the new innovations that you are discussing. - iSRAEL


 * In the "Emerging Technologies" section, can you clarify what "acceptably well" means? Is there a quantitative measure of this?

Maybe rephrase the first sentence of the second paragraph to,"Another promising approach is visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), which must be further analyzed to consider it for public health initiatives" for grammar and flow. - Michelle

— Assignment last updated by Deets2023 (talk) 16:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello,

I am a student from the University of Illinois College of Medicine. Here is a summary of the proposed edits I will be making.

Intro: Rewrite to include added information detailed below and mirror structure changes. Clarify definition of cervical screening.

Screening Process: Keep first paragraph on general screening process. Rename: General Screening Process Procedure. Add paragraph on self-collection. Remove Section of "removal of abnormal cells". New section on "management of abnormal screening results" will be added toward the end of the article which will include this information.

Types of Screening: Reorder to match introduction. Molecular, Cytology, ADD in Visual. Leave Co-testing as a section but move follow up guidelines to section on management of abnormal results. Shorten HPV testing section, its not the primary focus of the article to provide such a lengthy history of the test and it is causing imbalance in this section of the article.

Recommendations: Make each region a sub heading so you can easily click it. Add in WHO general recommendations from 2021.

Management of Screening Results: List common follow up options that may be recommended by patient's healthcare provider as next steps when the screening test yields an abnormal results. Such as colposcopy, surveillance, reflex HPV testing, excisional or ablative removal.

Let me know if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations. Thanks! Mpograd2 (talk) 20:02, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
