“…Similarly, Whynes et al, (2007) cite 'herd signalling' as a potential influence whereby women may seek information about the value of cervical screening from the actions of others. If older women believe few of their peers attend screening, this may make them less inclined to do so themselves.…”

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACTCervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide (WHO, 2016). In many developed countries the incidence of cervical cancer has been significantly reduced by the introduction of organised screening programmes however, in the UK, a fall in screening coverage is becoming a cause for concern. Much research attention has been afforded to younger women but age stratified mortality and incidence data suggest that older women's screening attendance is also worthy of study. This paper provides a review of current evidence concerning the psycho-social influences that older women experience when Highlights There has been a lack of research on older women and cervical screening  This is at odds with age stratified incidence and mortality data  Embarrassment and logistical issues may deter older women from cervical screening  Psychological, emotional and physical age related changes can also play a role  Further research to enable informed decision-making among older women is required ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

“…Altough the Pap Smear was origanally designed to detect malignant cervical lesions, when reporting the results of cervical Pap Smear Tests usually a remark is made on the possible presence of infection based on cytological criteria (Bertolino et al, 1992). Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancer in the World (Whynes et al, 2007). American Cancer Society declares that sexually active women older than 19 years old should take the Pap Smear Test once a year for early diagnosis (Stekler and Joann, 2000).…”

“…Women were found to be motivated to undergo cervical cancer screening by a sense of responsibility and a feeling of security that the disease can be diagnosed early and treated in a timely manner (32). Positive family history for cancer (23), early onset of sexual activity, and the use of hormonal contraceptives (22) have been found to be related with more frequent screening participation in regular intervals and willingness to cooperate with the health care system in the prevention of the disease (18).…”

“…Positive family history for cancer (23), early onset of sexual activity, and the use of hormonal contraceptives (22) have been found to be related with more frequent screening participation in regular intervals and willingness to cooperate with the health care system in the prevention of the disease (18). Cervical cancer screening participation of women with the above-mentioned characteristics is probably due to the higher interest in their own health and their healthy lifestyles compared to women from lower socio-economic levels of society (23,32).…”

A b s t r a c tThe article provides a review of literature on risk factors and cofactors for cervical cancer and barriers to cervical cancer screening. Cofactors of cervical cancer are risk factors that contribute to the development of cervical cancer but are not able to generate cancer on their own. Risk factors and cofactors of cervical cancer have been clearly identified in many studies. Therefore cervical cancer is a preventable type of cancer. The aim of this article was to describe in more detail the barriers to cervical cancer screening among women all over the world. The barriers to cervical cancer screening can be sorted according to the results of studies into five main groups: informational, psychological, socio-economic, behavioral and cultural, and geographical. Efforts to reduce risk factors and cofactors of HPV infection and cervical cancer and to increase knowledge about screening are necessary in a positive approach to preventing cervical cancer in society and to promote women's health.
