Nationell studie erbjuder självprovtagning för HPV

2020-12-02

Den 23:e november 2020 startade HPV referenscentret vid KI en forskningsstudie som avser att utprova effektiva metoder att främja ökat deltagande och bättre förebyggande av cervixcancer genom att fler behandlingsbara förstadier upptäcks.

Under 2020 kommer cirka 6000 kvinnor i hela Sverige erbjudas ett kit för självprovtagning i hemmet, i första hand via SMS. Effektiva sätt att nå kvinnor som ej deltagit i screening och som har hög risk är en viktig del av arbetet med att permanent utrota cervixcancer i Sverige.

Gynekologisk cellprovtagning med HPV-test från 23 års ålder.

2020-07-24

Med början 2020 erbjuder Region Stockholm-Gotland gynekologisk cellprovtagning med HPV test för alla kallade kvinnor. Förut erbjöds detta enbart till kvinnor som fyllt 30 år. Den ändrade strategin kommer att utvärderas årligen för effekt och säkerhet i ett särskilt forskningsprotokoll som godkänts av Etikprövningsmyndigheten.

The Carina Eklund Symposium: 30 years of HPV research

2019-04-29

In April 2019, it has been 30 years since Project Coordinator Carina Eklund started working at Professor Joakim Dillner´s research group at Karolinska Insitute. At that time, viruses causing cancer was not a mainstream issue. Thirty years later, they are well on their way to use HPV as a target for global elimination of cervical cancer. To commemorate the occasion, Professor Joakim Dillner arranged a One-day symposium dedicated to the issue.

The Carina Eklund Symposium took place on April 4th, at Karolinska Institutet, in Stockholm, to celebrate 30 years of dedication, hard work and excellence on HPV.

Nordic eScience has created a youtube channel (www.youtube.com/NordiceScienceHPV) where users can find different webinars and electures about HPV.

Special attention is given to the eLearning course on Human Papilloma Virus – from molecular biology to global health.

In this internet-based learning course, insights and knowledge of these topics are gained:

– HPV infection and the burden of HPV-associated diseases

– Methods for detection of HPV and the bioinformatics methods for HPV classification.

– Best practice for organized cervical screening.

– Assessment of internationally standardized quality indicators of cervical screening

– Validation of results from screening and vaccination, and their implications on the cancer burden.
