Developing countries suffer the highest burden of cervical cancers but have the lowest resources. Effective cervical cytology screening programme, along with a network of diagnostic and therapeutic colposcopy centres, like developed countries, is almost impossible to be reproduced in developing countries. Visual inspection methods [e.g., Visual inspection with Lugol’s iodine(VILI) and Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid(VIA)] which are cheaper, require less expertise and have the advantage of possible treatment in one setting have been shown to be effective alternatives. The sensitivity to detect CIN2+, by VIA and VILI, have been shown to be 80% and 91% respectively, with a specificity rate of 92% and 85% respectively. Screening by human papillomavirus(HPV) testing has high sensitivity(96.4%) but low specificity(94.1%) to detect CIN2+, when compared to Pap Smear(sensitivity, 55.4% and specificity, 96.8%). A single lifetime HPV testing in a large unscreened population has been shown to significantlyreduce cervical cancer incidence and mortality when compared to cervical cytology, VIA or no screening. HPV testing of self-collected vaginal specimens also helps to overcome religious and socio-cultural barriers towards pelvic examination amongst women in developing countries. Current HPV testing methods are expensive, skill/infrastructure demanding and takes time to produce results. A cheaper HPV test, called careH PV?, which is able to provide results within 2.5 h and requires minimal skill/infrastructure to operate, was designed for use in developing countries. One stop screen and treat facilities using VIA or rapid HPV testing, and cryotherapy, can overcome non-compliance to follow-up which is a major issue in developing countries. Cure rates of 81.4% for CIN1, 71.4% for CIN2 and 68.0% for CIN3 at 6 mo after treatment have been reported. Incorporating telemedicine with cervicography of VIA or VILI or even telecolposcopy, has great potential in cervical cancer screening, especially in countries with vast geographical areas.
