A community‐based, cross‐sectional study of hr<scp>HPV DNA</scp> self‐sampling‐based cervical cancer screening in rural Karnataka, India

Abstract

Implementation of hrHPV DNA-based screening tests using self-sampling can be feasible in rural settings in India. However, substantial resources are required for providing health education and one-on-one counseling to inform asymptomatic women about the benefits of testing and, more importantly, to improve compliance with follow-up.
