Self-sampling in cervical cancer screening: comparison of a brush-based and a lavage-based cervicovaginal self-sampling device

BMC Cancer, 2016
High coverage and attendance is essential for cervical cancer screening success. We investigated whether the previous positive experiences on increasing screening attendance by self-sampling in Finland are sampler device dependent.All women identified to cervical cancer screening in 2013 in 28 Finnish municipalities were randomised to receive a lavage-
