Highlights • Evidence suggests that primary HPV testing can be more effective than cytology. • Additional triage tests are needed to decide who among the HPV-positive women requires further management or treatment. • Evaluation of triage test candidates is based on absolute risk estimates compared to established clinical action thresholds. • An optimal integrated screening and triage strategy should reassure the vast majority of women that they are at very low risk of cervical cancer while sending the women at highest risk to colposcopy and treatment.
