Screening for cervical cancer in primary care: a decision analysis for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The purpose of this study was to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force by modeling the benefits and harms of various cervical cancer screening strategies. In this microsimulation modeling study, it was estimated that primary hrHPV screening may represent a reasonable balance of harms and benefits when performed every 5 years. Switching from cytology to hrHPV testing at age 30 years yielded the most efficient harm to benefit ratio when using colposcopy as a proxy for harms.
