I fear those with a vested and political interest in these programs block better options for women. The Australian program horribly over-screens which means we have huge over-treatment. Our program calls for 26 pap tests and some women end up having more than that...
Calls for change go back ten or more years, yet nothing changes. Other options are unavailable like hrHPV primary testing and self-test kits. These options would greatly reduce testing and over-treatment and would isolate the small number at risk from this rare cancer.
It concerns me that our doctors remain silent and continue to over-screen women - our program is harmful, yet most women trust their doctors and are being let down badly.
