Home-based urinary HPV self-sampling for the detection of cervical cancer precursor lesions: attitudes and preferences from Belgian females participating in the CASUS study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer globally in females, caused by oncogenic infections with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) strains. Successful CC screening programs strongly depend on the participation rate of the target population. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to reach under screened populations. The CASUS study aimed to develop a complete CC screening solution based on first-void urine (FVU) self-sampling. Here we report on the usability perceptions and preferences from females that participated in the CASUS study by collecting FVU as a liquid biopsy.

Methods

Females self-collected FVU samples at home the day before colposcopy using the Colli-Pee^® UCM FV-5010, a FVU collection device prefilled with 3 mL of UCM preser
