A dramatic reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer has occurred during the last 50 years, following the introduction of annual cervical cytology (Papanicolaou or Pap) screening, although compared with most screening tests, the sensitivity for disease detection of the Pap test is relatively low, varying between 50% and 75% in most reported studies.
Annual cervical cytology evaluations were performed, the women were referred for colposcopy following protocol guidelines, and they were also assessed for long-term immunogenicity and safety.
