Newest firstStructured AbstractO_ST_ABSIntroductionC_ST_ABSCervical cancer screening is difficult to initiate and sustain during war due to disrupted health services, population displacement and limited clinical capacity. Evidence on whether human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screening using self-sampling can function as a screening pathway during armed conflict is unknown. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability an…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundCervical cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Tanzania despite being largely preventable. In response, the Ministry of Health developed the Tanzania Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Strategic Plan (2020-2024), emphasizing secondary prevention strategies such as screening and pre-cancer treatment by health facilities across the country. However, by the year 2020,…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundCervical cancer screening is a critical public health intervention that facilitate the early detection and treatment of precancerous cervical lesions before they progress to invasive cancer.

Open article record in new tab ↗Cervical cancer (CC) can be prevented and treated if detected early through regular screening. However, 88% of women aged 30 to 49 have never been screened in Tanzania. This study explored the facilitators and barriers to CC screening among women and healthcare providers in rural Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. We used the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) mode…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundCervical cancer screening program in Uganda is opportunistic and focuses mainly on women aged 25-49 years. Female sex workers (FSWs) are at increased risk of developing invasive cervical cancer. There is limited data regarding the uptake and acceptability of cervical cancer screening among FSWs in Uganda. This study aimed at identifying factors affecting uptake and acceptability of cervical cancer screen…
Open article record in new tab ↗IntroductionPrimary Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing offers higher sensitivity and specificity over Visual Inspection using Acetic acid (VIA) in cervical cancer screening. Self-sampling is a promising strategy to boost participation and reduce disparities. However, concerns about the initial costs hinder HPV testing adoption in low and middle-income countries. This study assesses the cost-utility of home-based…
