[Proposal for the modernization of cervical screening procedure in Hungary]. Orv Hetil. 2017 Dec;158(52):2062-2067 Authors: Koiss R, Boncz I, Hernádi Z, Szentirmay Z Abstract Two main considerations played roles in creation of new cervical screening system. One was the proven fact that high-risk human papilloma virus infection plays a role in the development of cervical cancer and pre-cancerous lesions. The other was the implementation of the HPV infection's biological behavior in the new screening strategy. The new screening procedure faithfully reflects the cervical carcinogenesis. An organised, population-based and age differentiated screening method could increase attendance of screening and could decrease the possibility of interval cancer rate due to increased sensitivity.
