Reason for new article

[edit]

This article has been created because the Pap test article contains content that is generally about methods for cervical screening but is not actually the PA test. That content will be moved here. There is also detailed screening information in the Cervical cancer article that might be better off in this article.Alexbateman (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's already an article on Schiller's test but it isn't mentioned here. Should it be? - TheMightyQuill (talk) 14:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That is a diagnostic test, not a screening test. More apropos to Colposcopy. Zodon (talk) 05:32, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notes to self or anyone

[edit]
  • Australia: The National Cervical Screening Program. The program promotes routine screening with Pap smears every two years for women between the ages of 18 (or two years after first sexual intercourse, whichever is later) and 69 years. [1]

Please feel free to comment on our plan if you have any thoughts. 

I really love the new section on new innovations in the cervical screening. It helps the readers to know what the current scope of the progress in the field is. I would include another citation after you talk about the reduction in use of annual pap smears. The only other concrete edit I would suggest is to expand on the p16/ki-67 biomarkers. This will help balance out all the new innovations that you are discussing. - iSRAEL
In the "Emerging Technologies" section, can you clarify what "acceptably well" means? Is there a quantitative measure of this?

Maybe rephrase the first sentence of the second paragraph to,"Another promising approach is visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), which must be further analyzed to consider it for public health initiatives" for grammar and flow. - Michelle

Hello,

I am a student from the University of Illinois College of Medicine. Here is a summary of the proposed edits I will be making.

Intro: Rewrite to include added information detailed below and mirror structure changes. Clarify definition of cervical screening.

Screening Process: Keep first paragraph on general screening process. Rename: General Screening Process Procedure. Add paragraph on self-collection. Remove Section of "removal of abnormal cells". New section on "management of abnormal screening results" will be added toward the end of the article which will include this information.

Types of Screening: Reorder to match introduction. Molecular, Cytology, ADD in Visual. Leave Co-testing as a section but move follow up guidelines to section on management of abnormal results. Shorten HPV testing section, its not the primary focus of the article to provide such a lengthy history of the test and it is causing imbalance in this section of the article.

Recommendations: Make each region a sub heading so you can easily click it. Add in WHO general recommendations from 2021.

Management of Screening Results: List common follow up options that may be recommended by patient's healthcare provider as next steps when the screening test yields an abnormal results. Such as colposcopy, surveillance, reflex HPV testing, excisional or ablative removal.

Let me know if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations. Thanks! Mpograd2 (talk) 20:02, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

peer-reviewing

[edit]

Hello @Fady-the-dr first of all thank you for your contribution in Wikipedia editing project and for helping to reduce public health barriers. I'd like to mention some gaps and recommendations regarding your recent edit on cervical cancer screening. For cervical cancer screening in the United States the citation that you used seems to be being in progress for updating although it was published very recently. However, the edited paragragh is somewhat confusing and needs more clarity and organization. According to the cited guideline, it recommends to do cervical cytology alone every 3 years in women ages 21 to 29 years and then every 5 years doing high-risk HPV primary screening in women ages 30 to 65 years. Then it suggests an alternative to HPV primary screening for women ages 30 to 65 years, which is continued screening every 3 years with cervical cytology alone or screening every 5 years with high-risk HPV testing in combination with cytology (cotesting). Although these information are kind of mentioned by other people in the paragragh but you can organize them and make the paragrapgh easy to understand. Additionally, in segment discussing women under age 21 and women with hysterectomy it'd be better to make "not recommended" and other key words such as ages, time intervals and medical terms bold for more emphasis. Last but not least, I'd like to suggest you some articles that I believe they contain strong, evidence-based information on cervical cancer screening: 10.3322/caac.21628 , 10.1097/LGT.0000000000000525 , https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240030824.

I hope you find my peer review helpful and please feel free to share your thoughts and comments with me. Mohammadgh77 (talk) 20:46, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Mohammadgh77, I found this review very insightful and I have restructured the paragraph accordingly. I have taken your notes into consideration and I believe it is far more readable now than it was before. The only thing I left out was the was the article citation you had given me because it was published by the WHO and in the subsection I am editing in this article it is only referring to screening guidelines in the US and not globally. Thank you so much for your help. Please feel free to let me know what you thing of the paragraph now. Fady-the-dr (talk) 23:19, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am happy that you found my peer review helpful. Thank you for restructuring the paragraph, it now looks much more organized and easier to understand. I just have a few notes: I noticed that while you added all citations at the first paragragh but there is no citation at the end of the recommendations segment so it would be better to include them at the end of that segment as well. Also I see some numbers that are not bold such as "every 3 years" in the first paragraph or "from ages 30 to 65" and "prior 10 years" from third and fourth rows of the recommendations segment, respectively. Please let me know the reason if you leave them unbold intentionally. Additionally, I think you can link certain terms such as HPV and high-risk behaviors to their respective Wikipedia pages for further information. Last but not least I noticed that T in in "those guidelines are mostly..." is not capitalized.
And regarding the WHO citation i was aware of your subsection which is why i suggested 2 guidelines specifically from U.S. sources. However, I mentioned the WHO guideline just to provide a global perspective as well and maybe for updating the WHO subsection or even creating a new section comparing these guidelines with each other in your future edits.
Again, please feel free to share your thoughts and comments with me. Thank you! Mohammadgh77 (talk) 10:53, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for these and for ensuring the quality of our respective Wikipedia journeys. I have made the proper corrections and added the hyperlinks accordingly in order to make the lesser known terms more accessible to the reader. As per you recommendation on citation, I had added all the proper ones at first mention and stated that the recommendations were both added by the sources mentioned above and initially didn't see the need to add them. However, I added them again for the added ease of the reader.
Feel free too let me know what you think and thank you so much again I found this exchange quite educational. Fady-the-dr (talk) 11:47, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your acceptance and accountability. You have responded to my messages and considered my recommendations as quickly as possible, and I appreciate it. I also found this peer review experience both educational and enjoyable. I wish you the best in your Wikipedia and research journey. Mohammadgh77 (talk) 15:26, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
