Cervical cancer screening by cotesting method for Vietnamese women 25-55 years old: a cost-effectiveness analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cancer (CC) is preventable through regular screening and vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV). However, CC remains a significant public health issue in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Vietnam, where financial constraints hinder the widespread implementation of HPV vaccination and screening programmes. Currently, Vietnam lacks both a national CC screening intervention and an HPV vaccination programme for women and girls. To date, cost-effectiveness studies evaluating CC screening methods in Vietnam remain limited.

Objectives

To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of two CC screening strategies for Vietnamese women aged 25-55 years: (1) cotesting combining cytology and HPV testing conducted three times at 5 year intervals (interven
