Cancer of the cervix uteri is the third most common cancer among women
worldwide. The incidence and mortality in the Netherlands, however, are
very low, partly because of an effective screening programme. Next to
the well-known conventional Pap smear, other medical interventions are
available and have been developed more recently to prevent death from
cervical cancer. This is, amongst others, liquid-based cytology, HPV DNA
screening, and HPV vaccination. This thesis presents health effects and
cost-effectiveness of cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, in the
Netherlands as well as internationally.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/22651/110216_Kok.%20Inge%20Martina%20Cornelia%20Maria%20de.pdf
