Cervical Cancer Prevention Following A Cascade Strategy: Successes And Challenges
(2023-07-05) Idiovino, Rafael
The aim of this project has been to improve women’s access to cervical cancer prevention and care following a cascade strategy in Northern Mozambique. Results to date one dedicate examination room for VIA has been established; biopsies are possible now with analysis in Nampula; and LEEP is available on site now (equipment, health worker trained). Some challenges that should be addressed in future: what happen after 2nd referral? Can having an examination room integrated inside the HIV clinic improve screening and treatment uptake?

This retrospective cohort study had aim to define and assess a cervical cancer screening cascade for women living with HIV enrolled at an ART clinic in Zimbabwe and to explore patient factors associated with retention through stages of the cascade. Main findings: Analysing outcomes along the proposed cervical screening cascade can identify areas for improvement; interventions are needed to improve linkage to treatment for screen-positive women who do not qualify for same-day cryotherapy; and many women continued to screen positive after treatment.
