“…A major concern with 'screen-and-treat' cervical cancer prevention strategies is that a large number of women without precursor lesions will undergo treatment; although there are no data to suggest that over treatment is harmfui. 5 Ca cx screening is a step up program (once primary test is +ve, than go for secondary test; if secondary test is positive than go for investigation and/or treatment; final diagnosis with histopathology). Population of this study had both types of management (two steps and/or three steps).…”

“…Very recent publications also support that VIA an easy testing procedure, can be used alone as a cervical cancer screening strategy in a low resource country. 5,6 Population based cervical cancer screening was launched in Bangladesh since 2004. 7 Patients in colposcopy clinic diagnose as 'normal' (i.e.…”

Bangladesh is overburdened with cervical cancer. In each year 13,000 new cases enter in this series. Visual inspection of cervix with acetic acid (VIA) is adopted as national cervical cancer (ca cx) screening program, in Bangladesh. Positive VIA, abnormal cytology, positive HPV or suspicious looking cervices are referred for secondary screening (Colposcopy). Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) acts as a primary screening and secondary referral center. With the aim to identify the weakness of present ca cx screening system one year (April 2013 to March 2014) records were evaluated. A total 1853 VIA & 714 colposcopy cases were analyzed from records of CMCH, Bangladesh. The age of population range from 16 -71 years and most were between 30-49 years. In primary screening VIA +ve cases were 6% (n=120). After secondary screening 43.69% (n=312) were identified as abnormal; among those precancerous lesion (CIN) 37.82% (n= 270); ca cx 1.54% (n=11); suspicious 4.34% (n=31). Histopathology proven CIN 12.04% (n=86) & ca cx 2.10% (n=15). Cases received treatment (LEEP) were only 09.38% (n=67). Finally among total population, 56.30% (n=402) were declared normal, 14.15% (n=101) had definite pathology and 29.55% (n=211) remained undetermined (as they failed to re-produce their histology report at the final step of secondary screening). This study found a bottleneck caused by present service delivery systems; lack of prompt referring and re-reporting to primary center within a schedule time (after receiving management) and lack of recall system both from primary and secondary screening center. To make the program successful have to have schedule for re-reporting and recalling.

“…The results are immediate, so women who positively select precancerous lesions receive treatment with cryotherapy during the same visit (screening treatment) is cost effective, affordable, and an ideal fi rst-line treatment for NIC of any grade when size and location Of the cervical lesion allows the cryoprobe to span the entire lesión, can avoid cost burden, follow-up visits, signifi cant delays in treatment and loss of follow-up. Cryosurgery was performed at the primary care level by non-skilled health personnel trained to perform it with minimal equipment [34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among gynecological cancers worldwide. Cervical cancer is the main cancer found in developing countries. There are risk factors for cervical cancer worldwide, mainly persistent infection of high risk HPV, especially genotypes 16 and 18 viruses. Cervical cancer prevented when precursor lesions detected and treated before they develop cancer. Cervical cancer is preventable, and effective screening programs reduce morbidity and mortality associated with this type of cancer; however, the programs vary according to socio-economic conditions of each country, which refl ected in the increased incidence, morbidity, mortality from cervical cancer in developing countries.
