Abstract High‐risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence has been shown to correlate well with cervical cancer incidence rates. Our study aimed estimate the of HR‐HPV and intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in China indirectly informs on burden country. A total 30,207 women from 17 population‐based studies throughout were included. All received HPV DNA testing (HC2, Qiagen, Gaithersburg, MD), visual inspection acetic acid liquid‐based cytology.

Worldwide, one-seventh of cervical cancers occur in China, which lacks a national screening program. By evaluating the diagnostic accuracy self-collected cervicovaginal specimens tested for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA (Self-HPV testing) we sought to determine whether Self-HPV testing may serve as primary cancer method low-resource settings.
