Low-cost Cervical Cancer Screening Methods in Poor Resource Settings A Review | Chapter 18 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 1

528,000 new instances of cervical cancer (CC) were recorded in 2012, making it the seventh most frequent cancer worldwide and the fourth most common illness among women. Despite a rise in occurrences each year, cervical cancer's proportional importance has decreased; in 1975, it was the second most common illness among women. Additionally, CC mortality and incidence vary greatly across low- and middle-income nations (LMIC). Cervical cancer detection methods that are more affordable than standard pap smear screening are required in low-resource areas. 1) To examine the usefulness of various screening techniques, such as the traditional pap smear. Many novel techniques are being used in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) to increase detection while keeping costs down. The procedures addressed include ascetic acid ocular examination, cell block with marker studies, manual liquid based cytology (MLBC), and HPV testing (VIA). LMIC countries' national screening programmes should use the different approaches.
