Visual inspection after acetic acid (VIA) is highly heterogeneous in primary cervical screening in Amazonian Peru. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2015
Conventional cytology (Pap) and visual inspection after the application of acetic acid (VIA) are currently used in primary screening in Peru. Studies suggest that the quality of VIA is highly variable. Over 36 000 women were screened with Pap and VIA in the TATI (Tamizaje y Tratamiento Inmediato de Lesiones Cervico-uterinas) project conducted in ...
