[Use of human papilloma virus testing in primary cervical cancer screening in rural Madagascar].

CONCLUSION: Primary HPV-based screening is a strategy that could be useful for low-resource countries like Madagascar. It would reduce the rate of false positives and unnecessary treatments compared to the current strategy based on primary IVA. The questions of the feasibility and cost-benefit of this strategy should be further explored. PMID: 30448093 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
