Benefits and Costs of Using HPV Testing to Screen for Cervical Cancer

http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v287n18/abs/joc11104.html

The authors concluded that HPV/Pap testing performed every 2 years saves more years of life at a reasonable cost as compared with use of Pap testing alone. They also noted that applying age limits to screening is a viable option to maintain benefits as costs are reduced.

Cost-effectiveness of Alternative Triage Strategies for Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance

http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v287n18/abs/joc11842.html

The authors concluded that testing using reflex HPV DNA gives the same or better life expectancy benefits and is more cost-effective than are other methods used to manage women diagnosed as having ASC-US.
