Reflex cytology for triage of high-risk human papillomavirus positive self-sampled material in cervical cancer screening: a prospective cohort study.
CONCLUSION: Cytology testing is achievable on hrHPV-positive self-samples, could decrease the loss to follow-up in screening and is easily implementable in the current clinical practice. Of all hrHPV-positive women with abnormal cytology on additional physician-collected samples, 26.4% could have been directly referred for colposcopy if triage with reflex cytology on self-sampled material was performed.
