Résumé
In France, recent advances in cervical cancer screening include an organized cervical cancer-screening program and the introduction of HPV testing as a first-line test for women aged 30-65 years. The HPV test, performed on a cervical smear taken by a health professional, could also be performed on a vaginal self-sample in certain indications. The detection kits used to test for HPV should target high-risk HPV, be validated for screening and meet the performance requirements for this indication. Although no longer used as a first-line test in women aged 30-65 years, cytological examination of cervical cells remains important, particularly in the triage of HPV positive women. The interest of other biological techniques, such as HPV genotyping, viral load, cellular expression of p16/Ki-67 proteins and the methylation of cellular or viral genes, still needs to be clarified, but they could help to refine the triage strategy of HPV-positive women and limit the need for colposcopy and unnecessary stress for patients.
