Abstract

About 30% of women who are eligible for cervical cancer (CC) screening remain un-screened or under-screened in Switzerland. HPV testing on self-collected vaginal samples (Self-HPV) has shown to be more sensitive than cytology while also reaching non-attendees. The objective of this study was to explore the cost-effectiveness of offering Self-HPV to non-attendees in Switzerland.
