ASCCP Management Guidelines

ASCCP Management Guidelines- There’s an app for that!

New 2019 ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors provide new recommendations.

ASCCP is pleased to offer this app to streamline navigation of the ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors. The guidelines articles, as published in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, as well as the comprehensive risk estimates, can be accessed through https://www.asccp.org/guidelines.

These evidence-based management guidelines, initially developed in 2019, came together through a consensus process of 19 organizations. The updated management guidelines aim to:

• Allow for a more complete and precise estimation of risk

• Provide more appropriate intervention for high-risk individuals (detect and treat more precancer)

• Recommend less intervention for low-risk individuals (decrease testing and treatment that won’t prevent cancer and may cause reproductive harm)

• Allow for the future addition of new risk modifiers and screening and management technologies

See https://www.asccp.org/UserGuide for tips on using the app.
