Challenging the assumption that experience- and training-related factors improve accuracy of cervical cancer screening image interpretation: Evidence from Tanzania
Visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA), although recognized as inaccurate, remains widely used for cervical screening in low-resource settings. Training and image review by more experienced providers − such as the smartphone-enhanced VIA (SEVIA) in Tanzania − are assumed to improve VIA performance, but remain untested against a reference standard of disease. Between June and December 2023, 486 VIA providers in Tanzania completed a…
New Model of Integrated Care for Patients with Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases
CEIMI is a pioneering collaborative and multidisciplinary care model for patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. This new model is integrated by physicians, pharmacists and specialised nurses and is oriented to meet the needs and expectations of the patients
Consumption of Ultra-Processed Food and Drinks and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in the MCC-Spain Study
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in adults in Western countries. Its etiology is largely unknown but increasing incidence rates observed worldwide suggest that lifestyle and environmental factors such as diet might play a role in the development of CLL. Hence, we hypothesized that the consumption of ultra-processed food and drinks (UPF) might be associated with CLL. Data from a Spanish population-based case-control s…
Estimates of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in 2018: A worldwide analysis
BACKGROUND: The knowledge that persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer has resulted in the development of prophylactic vaccines to prevent HPV infection and HPV assays that detect nucleic acids of the virus. WHO has launched a Global Initiative to scale up preventive, screening, and treatment interventions to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem during the 21st century. Therefore, our s…
Occupational Exposure to Pesticides and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia in the MCC-Spain Study
We aimed to study the association between occupational exposure to pesticides and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in Spain. Occupational exposure to pesticides (four insecticides, four herbicides and two fungicides) was evaluated using a job-exposure matrix for the Spanish population (MatEmESp) among 302 CLL cases and 1567 population controls in five regions of Spain, 2010-2013. Cumulative exposure scores (CES) were obtained by summing across …
HPV-based cervical cancer screening in Nicaragua: From testing to treatment
Introduction of HPV testing resulted in a substantial number of women screened, and acceptance of self-sampling was high. Management of screen-positive women remained a challenge, particularly with Pap triage. Our results can inform other developing countries as they work to reach World Health Organization (WHO) elimination targets
Cost-effectiveness of strategies to increase screening coverage for cervical cancer in Spain: The CRIVERVA study
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01373723
Epidemiologic Classification of Human Papillomavirus Types Associated with Cervical Cancer
BACKGROUND: Infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer, but the risk associated with the various HPV types has not been adequately assessed. METHODS: We pooled data from 11 case-control studies from nine countries involving 1918 women with histologically confirmed squamous-cell cervical cancer and 1928 control women. A common protocol and questionnaire were used. Information on risk factors was obtained by per…
Socioeconomic differences in cervical cancer: Two case-control studies in Colombia and Spain
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the causes of socioeconomic differences in invasive cervical cancer in two countries that differ substantially in cervical cancer incidence and economic development. METHODS: Data were derived from two case-control studies carried out in Spain and Colombia; there were 373 case subjects, 387 control subjects, and 425 husbands interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Exfoliated cells were obtained from cervical o…
