- A New Brazilian Device for Cervical Cancer Screening: Acceptability and Accuracy of Self-sampling(2023) LICHTENFELS, Martina; LORENZI, Noely Paula Cristina; TACLA, Maricy; YOKOCHI, Kaori; FRUSTOCKL, Flavia; SILVA, Camila Alves; SILVA, Andre Luiz da; TERMINI, Lara; FARIAS, Caroline BrunettoObjective To evaluate the accuracy and patient acceptability toward self-sampling using a new device - SelfCervix (R) - for detecting HPV-DNA.Methods A total of 73 women aged 25-65 who underwent regular cervical cancer screening from March to October 2016 were included. Women performed self-sampling followed by a physician-sampling, and the samples were analyzed for HPV-DNA. After that, patients were surveyed about their acceptability of self-sampling.Results HPV-DNA detection rate of self-sampling presented high accuracy and was similar to physician-collection. Sixty-four (87.7%) patients answered the acceptability survey. Most patients (89%) considered the self-sampling comfortable, and 82.5% preferred self-sampling to physician-sampling. The reasons cited were time-saving and convenience. Fifty-one (79.7%) reported that they would recommend self-sampling.Conclusion Self-sampling using the new Brazilian device SelfCervix (R) is not inferior in HPV-DNA detection rate compared with physician-collection, and patients are supportive of the method. Therefore, it might be an option to reach under-screened populations in Brazil.
