The USPSTF, based on latest evidence, has released final guidelines for cervical cancer screening (August 2018). The final recommendations now include ‘HPV only’ as an option for women 30 to 65 years of age.
USPSTF recommends the following
21 to 29 years
30 to 65 years
ACOG affirms its current cervical cancer screening guidelines, which encompass all three cervical cancer screening strategies (cervical cytology alone, hrHPV testing alone, and co-testing). It is appropriate to counsel average-risk women aged 30– 65 years regarding all three strategies so that they can select their preferred option.
