This volume reviews what is know about the occurrence, natural history and causes of cervical cancer, before describing the established methods and newer variants and approaches for screening that are now being introduced, tested or investigated. Based on an international meeting of experts, the volume concludes with their evaluation of the evidence on the efficacy of screening, including the frequency of screening and the age groups that should constitute the target population, and the identification of areas for further research.
