“…Our research group had previously reported that HPV testing results using self-collected cervical and urine samples were consistent with those from physician-collected samples [9]. HPV testing using selfcollected samples and urine samples appears to be a viable means of screening for cervical cancer in women who would otherwise not undergo HPV testing [9].…”

“…We previously reported that results were consistent between physician-and self-collected samples and that the agreement rate was especially high for HPV types 16 and 18 (as measured using κ-values) [9]. Among women presenting with CIN3, when a positive physician-collected sample was considered a true positive, the sensitivity and speci city of self-collected samples were 100% and 100% for HPV type 16, 75% and 100% for HPV type 18, and 92.0% and 96.3% for the other HPV types, respectively [9].…”

Background One cause of the increase in cervical cancer rates in Japan is the long-term stagnation in the cervical cancer screening consultation rate. Improving the screening consultation rate is therefore of urgent concern to reduce cervical cancer incidence. Self-collected human papilloma virus (HPV) tests have been successfully adopted in several countries, such as Netherlands and Australia, as a measure of individuals who have not undergone cervical cancer screening in national programs. This study aimed to verify whether self-collected HPV tests presented an effective countermeasure for individuals who had not undergone the recommended cervical cancer screenings. Methods This study was conducted from December 2020 to September 2022 in Muroran City, Japan. The primary evaluated endpoints included the percentage of citizens with positive self-collected HPV test results and individuals who underwent cervical cancer screening at a hospital. The secondary endpoints were the percentage of included participants who had undergone any cervical cancer screening and the diagnostic rates. Results The included study participants were 7,653 individuals aged 20–50 years with no record of having undergone a cervical cancer examination in the past 5 years. We mailed these participants information on self-administered HPV tests as an alternative screening procedure and sent the kit to 1,674 women who requested the test, among whom 953 returned the kit. Among the 89 HPV-positive individuals (positive rate, 9.3%), 71 (79.8%) visited the designated hospital for an examination. A closer examination revealed that 13 women (18.3% of hospital visits) had a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) finding of CIN2 or higher, among whom one each had cervical cancer and vulvar cancer, eight presented with CIN3, and three presented with CIN2; two cases of invasive gynecologic cancer were also identified. Conclusions We conclude that the self-collected HPV tests showed a certain efficacy as a measure of individuals who had not undergone the recommended cervical cancer screening. We devised ways to have the unexamined patients undergo HPV testing and ensure that HPV-positive individuals visited the hospital. Despite a few limitations, our findings suggest the effectiveness of this public health intervention.

Background: The importance of human papillomavirus (HPV) co-testing using physician-, self-, and urine-collected samples to predict cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1–2 prognoses has not been previously reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients with CIN 1–2 who simultaneously underwent physician-, self-, and urine-collection sampling tests. Methods: This study was conducted in Japan between October 2019 and November 2022 and examined the proportion of cases with CIN 1–2 progressions, the percentage of cases with persistent CIN 1–2, and the outcome differences according to the results of physician-, self-, and urine sampling tests. Results: There were 105 and 59 CIN 1 and 2 cases, with progression or persistence in 27 (29.3%) and 21 (50.0%) cases, respectively. The median follow-up was 20 and 12 months, respectively. Progression and persistence of CIN 1 were significantly associated with HPV-positive physician- and self-collection samples. No significant difference was observed between cases with CIN 2 who had HPV-positive and HPV-negative results using any sampling method. Conclusions: Physician- and self-testing for HPV are crucial for predicting disease progression risk in CIN 1 cases. Future research with an extended observation period and consideration of the progression risks is warranted.
