Benefits and potential harms of human papillomavirus (HPV) ‐based cervical cancer screening: A real‐world comparison of HPV testing versus cytology

ConclusionsCompared with cytology ‐based screening, HPV‐based screening provided a 90% increased CIN3+ detection at the cost of a three‐fold increase in colposcopy referrals, when considering complete data from the prevalence round. Our findings support implementation of HPV‐based screening in Denmark, but modifications of s creening algorithms may be warranted to decrease unnecessary colposcopy referrals.
