Currently available cervical cancer screening tests include hrHPV testing and cervical cytology screening. The screening strategies can be primary HPV screening, co-testing with HPV testing and cervical cytology, and cervical cytology alone. The new American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology guidelines recommend variable frequencies of screening and surveillance based on risk. To implement these guidelines, an ideal laboratory report should include the indication for the test (screening, surveillance, or diagnostic workup of symptomatic patients); type of test (primary HPV screening, co-testing, or cytology alone); clinical history of the patient; and prior as well as current testing results.
