Filter by:Cervical cancer screening is important as it enables identification of women at increased risk of the disease, but high-quality diagnostics of screen-positive women and effective treatment of those with precancer are critical in preventing progression to cancer. With the current transition from cytology-based to primary human papillomavirus (HPV)-screening and a growing proportion of HPV-vaccinated women, diagnostics of screen-positive women will become more challenging in the decades to come. Thus, there is a need to explore how to improve diagnostics while ensuring a low number of unnecessary procedures such as colposcopy and the collection of multiple cervical biopsies. The overall purpose is: - To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of cervical precancer when using a colposcopic scoring system in the diagnostic work-up of screen-positive women. - To investigate the performance of a colposcopic scoring system to identify women without cervical precancer in whom collection of biopsies can be safely omitted.
This study evaluates the Dynamic Spectral Imaging (DSI) Colposcope (DySIS) in it's ability to diagnose cervical dysplasia. Half of participants with be examined by the DySIS colposcope, there the other half will be examined by standard colposcopy.
