this study has been designed to compare visual inspection of cervix with acetic acid (via test) with cytology as an accepted method for screening of cervical carcinoma and its precursors. 1200 eligible women were examined by both pap-smear and via tests in imam khomeini hospital, a referral general hospital in tehran, iran. those who had abnormal results in one or both of the screening tests (n...

Cervical cancer is one of the major causes of women death worldwide. The aim of this study was to test the sensitivity and specificity of visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and visual inspection with lugol iodine (VILI) as a diagnostic test for cervical cancer in comparison with Pap smear in the North Cameroon region. 309 women aged between 20 to 62 years were recruited in this study. 307...

The lack of knowledge about cervical cancer in woman childbearing age is the cause high mortality rate problem. awareness performing inspection with acetic acid low. aim study to find EMO-DEMO educational influence on enhancement knowledge, attitudes and participation women screening using method Visual Inspection Acetic Acid (VIA). We undertook this research quasi experimental nonequivalent co...

OBJECTIVE To compare the standard cervical cancer screening procedure--the Papanicolaou test or Pap smear--with detection through visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA), and visual inspection with acetic acid assisted by Aviscope (VIAM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted between October 1998 and December 2000, in two Mixteca regions in Oaxaca, Mexico. A field trial design was us...

OBJECTIVE To assess the sensitivity and specificity of visual inspection of cervix for detection of precancerous and early cancerous lesions of cervix. METHODS In a Maternal and Child Health Care setting of New Delhi women underwent a detailed pelvic examination, visual inspection of cervix after 5% acetic acid application, cytology (pap smear), detailed colposcopic examination and colposcopi...

Given the challenges of implementing high-quality cervical cancer prevention services, especially in developing countries, there is considerable interest in exploring the accuracy and acceptability of visual approaches to detect precursor cervical disease and/or cancer. There are several types of visual screening. Early studies used visual inspection, which involved simply looking at the cervix...

OBJECTIVES Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women in developing countries. This study was designed to evaluate whether visual inspection with acetic acid and magnification (VIAM) improved confirmation of cervical lesions as compared to confirmation with visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) without magnification when used by physicians. METHODS From April-December...
