Mailing HPV testing kits to women who were overdue for recommended Pap testing led to 50% more cervical cancer screenings but they did not increase the detection of cervical precancer, according to study results published in JAMA Network Open.

The F-50 Non-Gyn Slide Processor has a liquid-based cytology system that features more cells per slide, and doesn’t need duplicate preps. The dual filtration disposable filters remove non-diagnostic material to optimize cell presentation. Cells of interest are transferred to the slide in a homogenous thin-layer cell deposit. Throughput: 50 samples/hr.

Queen Mary University of London researchers have developed a non-invasive test to detect cervical pre-cancer by analyzing urine and vaginal samples women collect themselves. In a presentation at the 2019 NCRI Cancer Conference, Dr. Belinda Nedjai said that the self-sampling test had proved popular with women taking part in the study — suggesting it's likely to improve participation in cervical cancer screening programs.

This year, New York state passed a bill that allowed teenagers to be immunized with age-appropriate vaccines without parental consent. In this study, rather than health care providers suggesting it, students promoted vaccination to their peers. The program, run by Melanie Kathryn Arnold, a third-year medical student at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and colleagues, used educational flyers, posters, videos and events to highlight the benefits of vaccination. To improve acceptance among school officials, the students shifted the focus from HPV vaccination as a preventive tool against sexually transmitted infections to the vaccines as a cancer-prevention strategy.

Researchers from Stanford University in California have developed a new genetic fingerprint test which aims to identify women with breast cancer who are more or less likely to respond to a class of often-useful, but toxic chemotherapy agents.
The work was published today in Nature Medicine and looks at drugs called anthracyclines, used in the treatment of several types of cancer including breast and some childhood cancers.

Penn Medicine is conducting the first study in the United States to use CRISPR/Cas9 gene therapy to treat cancer in humans. Early results indicate this method is safe and effective, Penn Medicine News reported recently.
In the study, researchers used the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system to remove specific genes from patients' T cells, a type of immune cell. They then inserted other genes to allow the T cells to target the patients' tumors when returned to the body.

Patients who have immune systems that are suppressed from diseases or medical therapy are at greatly increased risk for cancers linked to viral infections, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. Although multiple studies have tried to show a link between human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and SCC, none have been able to show that HPVs actually drive the development of these common skin cancers, say Shawn Demehri, investigator in the Center for Cancer Immunology at Massachusetts General Hospital department of Dermatology and the MGH Cancer Center, and colleagues. Instead, working with experimental models and tissue samples from human skin cancer, they found that the presence of "commensal" papillomaviruses — low-risk forms of HPV that dwell on the skin of a large majority of people—appears to have an indirect protective rather than harmful effects against SCC.

Anticipated future shortages of oncology providers may have a serious and specific impact on women’s health care, according to Doximity’s 2019 Women’s Health and Oncologist Workforce Analysis.
Doximity used Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data, board certification data, and self-reported data on more than 18,000 full-time, board-certified oncology practitioners. 2010 U.S. Census data were used to identify the 50 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with the highest number of women (ages 40 to 75 years) with breast or lung cancer.
