Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess the five-year incidence of histologically confirmed cervical cancer among women who test positive for human papillomavirus (HPV) with low-grade cytological abnormalities, to evaluate whether follow-up intensity could be reduced in women participating in the Dutch population-based cervical cancer screening program who are HPV-positive and have low-grade cytological abnormalities - atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), atypical glandular cells of endocervical origin (AGC), or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

What is the five-year risk of developing cervical cancer in HPV-positive women with low-grade cytological abnormalities?

Does the presence of subsequent low-grade cytology affect the five-year risk of cervical cancer in this population?

Researchers will compare the risk of cervical cancer in HPV-positive women with low-grade abnormalities to women with stable negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM) cytology, since women with stable NILM are discharged from further follow-up back to the screening programme. This will help evaluate whether follow-up intensity can be reduced in women with low-grade abnormalities.
