Screening should be done every year with the regular Pap test or every 2 years using the newer liquid-based Pap test.Beginning at age 30, women who have had 3 normal Pap test results in a row may get screened every 2 to 3 years with either the conventional (regular) or liquid-based Pap test.Option for women over 30 is to get screened every 3 years with either the conventional or liquid-based Pap test, plus the HPV DNA test.Trends in Screening Cervical CancerChallengeAccess to technologyDeveloped and developing worldCost and infrastructure requirements for screeningNeed for appropriate technologiesNew Detection TechnologiesAims:Reduce the false positive and false negative ratesGive instantaneous resultsReduce the costsHPV DNA TestThe DNA with Pap Test is FDA-approved for routine adjunctive screening with a Pap test for women age 30 and older.

Release Nucleic Acids Clinical specimens are combined with a base solution which disrupts the virus or bacteria and releases target DNA. No special specimen preparation is necessary. 2. Hybridize RNA Probe with Target DNA Target DNA combines with specific RNA probes creating RNA:DNA hybrids. 3. Capture Hybrids Multiple RNA:DNA hybrids are captured onto a solid phase coated with universal capture antibodies specific for RNA:DNA hybrids. O 4. Label for Detection Captured RNA:DNA hybrids are detected with multiple antibodies conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. Resulting signal can be amplified to at least 3000-fold. 5. Detect, Read and Interpret Results The bound alkaline phosphatase is detected with a chemiluminescent dioxetane substrate. Upon cleavage by alkaline phosphatase, the substrate produces light that is measured on a luminometer in Relative Light Units (RLUs).Liquid Based Pap SmearConventional PapLiquid Based PapAutomated Pap Smear ScreeningTechnology• High-speed video microscope collects images• Algorithms interpret images and classify slidesPerformance• 33% to 44% reduction of false negatives• 16% reduction in false positivesOptical technologiesVisual Inspection with acetic acid (VIA)Digital Image Analysis (DIA)CostsPap Test $10-20Liquid-based Pap$50Automated Pap Smear Screening$20-60HPV DNA test $90HPV vaccine $360Risk factorsDetectionTreatmentChallengesNew technologiesBioengineering and Cervical CancerYour CONFIDENTIAL Test ResultsSecond chancePossible Outcome Cancer DiagnosisFreebiesTrue Positive: You have cancer and the test correctly identified your condition.
