Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Cervical samples will be analysed for HPV DNA with MGP (Modified General Primer) primer system followed by MALDITOF(matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry) mass spectrometry on the SEQUENOM (translation of genomic science into solutions for molecular medicine and biomedical research) platform (HPV).
With assumed 65% and 90% participation and retain rates the trial has 80% power to show non-inferiority of the infrequent vs. the frequent screening information.
At the study-end testing the null hypotheses of no difference in the incidence of the CIN2/3 (cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3) end-points comparing the A1 vs. C and A2 vs. C intervention arms will be done using the Mantel-Haenszel one degree of freedom chi-square statistics.
Work Content Letters of invitation to visit cervical screening at the nearest FICAN (Comprehensive Cancer Center Finland)-Mid study site will be send to the approximately 14.000 unvaccinated women at the ages of 25 and 28 years Following informed consent cervical liquid-based cytology samples will be taken for HPV DNA and/or cytology screening at study visits.
All cytological screening results will be communicated to Arm A1 and Arm C study participants. Arm A2 participants will get the test results at the age of 28. However, results of the cytology testing indicative of colposcopy according to local standard of care and currently accepted EU (the European Union) -guidelines (Käypä Hoito 2010, Franceschi et al. 2011) will be immediately communicated to all study participants. HPV DNA results will be communicated to all study participants at the study end. Pertinent colposcopy referrals to organized health care will be made.
All study participants will be offered a possibility to give an oropharyngeal sputum sample after 30 seconds gargling of sterile physiological saline (5 ml) for HPV PCR (polymerase chain reaction) analysis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
A1
Frequent information of screening results for cytology and/or HPV DNA at the ages of 25 (cytology only) and 28 (cytology only) vs A2
Frequent information of cytological/ HPV DNA screening results
All participants will be referred to pertinent diagnosis and treatment according to local standard of care (Käypä hoito 2010) should the cytological screening results (HSIL, ASC-H, AGC-FN) or three consecutive LSIL findings at repeated control visits within 3 years indicate it. The most common screening results (ASCUS, LSIL) are, however, not convened to arm A2 participants before age 28.
All cytology and HPV DNA results results are being revealed to all trial participants at age 28 at the study end.
A2
infrequent information of cytological screening/ HPV DNA results, only at the age 28 years.
No interventions assigned to this group
C
The third arm with at 8000 participants devoid of herd effect protection and frequent screening at ages 25 and 28 is enrolled for comparative analyses between A1 vs. C and A2 vs. C.
Frequent information of cytological/ HPV DNA screening results
All participants will be referred to pertinent diagnosis and treatment according to local standard of care (Käypä hoito 2010) should the cytological screening results (HSIL, ASC-H, AGC-FN) or three consecutive LSIL findings at repeated control visits within 3 years indicate it. The most common screening results (ASCUS, LSIL) are, however, not convened to arm A2 participants before age 28.
All cytology and HPV DNA results results are being revealed to all trial participants at age 28 at the study end.
