Unnecessary Cervical Treatments Reduced When HPV Test Performed Twice


According to new research published today in the British Journal of Cancer , performing the human papillomavirus (HPV) test twice with a short interval between tests would reduce the number of women having unnecessary treatment.

The Swedish study also indicates that women, who do not respond to screening invitations, could take a HPV test at home and therefore increase the number of women screened for cervical cancer .

The Research assessed approximately 2,800 women who took a self-sample HPV test at home and invited those showing a positive result to a clinic for a repeat HPV test one to three months after the initial test, to examine patients for a persistent HPV infection, which could lead to cell changes of the cervix.

Women, who's second test also proved positive, had an increased likelihood of developing abnormal cell changes on the cervical lining which could become cancerous. Treating these changes can prevent the development of cervical cancer.

Cancer Drug Prices Climbing To More Than $100000 | Markets ...

So when Seattle Genetics studied pricing the drug, company execs had to weigh those investments in addition to the market for the treatment, which was approved late last week fort the blood cancers Hodgkin’s lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or ALCL. The six-figure price -- it may exceed $120,000 per patient -- is raising concern among investors. (See Seattle Genetics Slaps Big Price on New Cancer Drug ) The challenge for Seattle Genetics is to convince doctors and insurers that the price is actually right and maybe even a value to the health care system. Adcetris targets tumors in patients who don’t respond to existing therapies (a type of stem cell treatment and chemotherapy). So it’s treating a subset of a relatively small patient population. Other drug makers are zeroing in on genetic causes of disease. For instance, Roche’s new melanoma treatment Zelboraf (priced at more than $56,000 per treatment) targets a...
