Background and Brief Description
The National Breast and Cervical
Cancer Early Detection Program
(NBCCEDP) is the only organized
national screening program in the
United States. The program offers breast
and cervical cancer screening to
underserved women. Given resource
limitations, the screening standards for
cervical cancer in the program include
an annual Pap test until a woman has
had three consecutive normal Pap tests,
at which time the Pap test frequency is
reduced to every three years. HPV DNA
testing has been approved in the U.S. as
a secondary screening tool for ASCUS
(Atypical Squamous Cells of
Undetermined Significance), and as a
primary screening tool for women 30
years of age and older, but it is not
currently a reimbursable expense under
program guidelines. Adopting HPV
testing along with Pap testing in women
over 30 could help the program better
utilize resources by extending the
screening interval of women who are
cytology negative and HPV test negative,
which is estimated to be 80–90% of
women. In 2005, the NBCCEDP
convened an expert panel to determine
policies on reimbursement of the HPV
DNA test with the Pap test (co-test) for
primary screening. The panel
recommended that the program not
reimburse for the HPV DNA test but
instead requested that pilot studies be
performed to measure the feasibility,
acceptability and barriers to use of the
test.
A pilot study, the CDC Cervical
Cancer Study (CX3), is currently being
conducted in 15 clinics in the state of
Illinois. A total of 2,246 women between
the ages of 30 and 60 who visited one
