Checking for cancer of the cervix

"In July 2020, the American Cancer Society (ACS) released an updated cervical cancer screening guideline calling for primary human papillomavirus (HPV) screening as the preferred strategy."

Primary HPV screening refers to cervical cancer screening with an HPV test alone as the initial screening modality. Under this strategy, cervical cytology is reserved for use as one option for a triage test should the HPV test result be positive."
