## Abstract In a population‐based cervical screening cohort, we determined the value of type‐specific viral load assessment for the detection of high‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer (≥CIN2). Viral load was determined by type‐specific real‐time PCR in women with single H

✦ Synopsis
High-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) detection will become an important tool in the screening for cervical cancer. Self-sampling is an inexpensive and well-accepted method for HPV detection that will increase participation of nonresponders in current screening programs. Even more, because self-collected samples are as good as physician-collected samples for HPV detection, self-sampling might be a suitable method for future primary cervical cancer screening.

## Abstract A simulation model is presented that assumes that persistent infection with high‐risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) is a necessary cause of cervical cancer. For the estimation of the model parameters, data of recent Dutch follow‐up studies were reanalyzed. The predicted incidences of cer
## Abstract We evaluated the effect of offering brush‐based vaginal self‐sampling for high‐risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing to non‐attendees of the cervical screening program on response rate, compliance to follow‐up and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or 3 (CIN2+/CIN3+) yield.
