A do-it-yourself test for cervical cancer could be offered to all women after research suggested it would reduce overall incidence of the cancer in Australia.

The research, released by the Cancer Council on International HPV Awareness Day, also found allowing women to self-screen could reduce the overall incidence of cervical cancer.Self-collection of HPV samples is currently only offered to women who have never participated in a cervical screen, or women who are more than two years overdue, according to the National Cervical Screening Program .Alison Hutchens told news.com.

Her gynaecologist called her on a Sunday evening, and left a voicemail saying, “We’ve got your results back and I’m afraid you do have cancer.”“For me, the worst thing was I had to have everything removed, including my ovaries. Because they took out my ovaries it was overnight menopause.Alison Hutchens was given a shock diagnosis of cervical cancer at age 48 that changed the course of her life.“The recovery from the surgery is long. You’re not supposed to do anything for six weeks.

Australia is at the forefront of cancer prevention and diagnosis, and is on track to eliminate the disease by 2030.“While Australia has one of the lowest rates of cervical cancer in the world, we know there are many women not participating in the screening program, and it’s these women who are at the greatest risk of developing invasive cervical cancer,” Dr Megan Smith, senior research fellow, Cancer Council NSW said.
