Abstract:
|
We present effectiveness of cervical cancer screening tests. Loglinear models are used to test the effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) and Pap smear tests in predicting likelihood of detecting cervical cancer. In addition, we compare our results with cervical cancer screening guidelines for average-risk women in different age groups.
