Cervical screening every five years ‘prevents as many cancers as every three’
Women could be screened for cervical cancer every five years instead of every three and as many cancers could still be prevented, a new study suggests.
Researchers at King’s College London said that screening women aged 24 to 49 who test negative for human papillomavirus (HPV) at five-year intervals prevented as many cancers as screening every three years.
