A specimen preparation technique for automated cervical cancer screening and its assessment.

Screening for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions in Tabriz

 Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is the most common female genital tract malignancy and is the major cause of death from gynecologic cancer worldwide. The majority of cervical cancers develop through a series of gradual, precancerous lesions. Screening asymptomatic women with regular Pap smears allows diagnosis of the readily treatable preinvasive phase. We performed this study to determin...

Automated cervical cancer screening through image analysis

Automated Recommendation for Cervical Cancer Screening and Surveillance

Because of the complexity of cervical cancer prevention guidelines, clinicians often fail to follow best-practice recommendations. Moreover, existing clinical decision support (CDS) systems generally recommend a cervical cytology every three years for all female patients, which is inappropriate for patients with abnormal findings that require surveillance at shorter intervals. To address this p...

Screening for Cervical Cancer Using Automated Analysis of PAP-Smears

Cervical cancer is one of the most deadly and common forms of cancer among women if no action is taken to prevent it, yet it is preventable through a simple screening test, the so-called PAP-smear. This is the most effective cancer prevention measure developed so far. But the visual examination of the smears is time consuming and expensive and there have been numerous attempts at automating the...

Economic impact of automated primary screening for cervical cancer.

OBJECTIVE To construct a markovian model to project the marginal cost of the AutoPap System as compared to manual cervical cytologic screening. STUDY DESIGN Data from a clinical trial and published literature were entered into a seven-state markovian decision-analytic model to estimate the marginal cost per year of life saved that could be attributed to changes in primary screening technology...
