Jin - Figure 28 - ACS/ASCCP/ASCP 2012 Guidelines

This is a summary of the ACS/ASCCP/ASCP Screening Guidelines, which recommends that:

Screening not start for women age <21.
For women ages 21-29, screening should be done with cytology every 3 years.
Women ages ≥30-65 should be screened with:

- Cytology and HPV testing (‘co-testing’) every 5 years (preferred). If both cytology and HPV results are
negative, the screening interval is co-testing every 5 years, or;

- Cytology alone every 3 years (acceptable).
Discontinue screening for women age >65 who have had a history of adequate screening.
