Cervical cancer screening: p16/KI-67 Dual Stain test (CINtec® PLUS) in the triage of equivocal results or mild to moderate dysplasia in pap cytology
Each year around 30 000 women in Austria receive a PAPIII or PAPIIID cytology result during routine cervical cancer screening. Roughly equivalent to ASC-US or LSIL cytology, the risk of progression to cancer for these patients is unclear and requires further diagnostic investigation: for many of the women the ensuing procedures and potential adverse effects turn out to be unnecessary. The p16/Ki-67 Dual Stain test (CINtec® PLUS) claims to improve the triage of these women. In a systematic review though we could not identify sufficient evidence to support the utility of the p16/Ki-67 Dual Stain test in the triage of equivocal or mild to moderate dysplasia results in Austria.
