Synopsis of publication:

In 1991, following an extensive multidisciplinary review, the Federal, State and Territory Governments of Australia agreed to establish an organised approach to screening for cervical cancer. As part of this approach, it was recognised that evidence-based guidelines were needed for the evaluation and management of women with different grades of abnormality detected by the cervical cancer screening program. The NHMRC was asked to develop such guidelines.

The Guidelines for the management of women with screen detected abnormalities identify different levels of expertise amongst gynaecologists for the evaluation of women with abnormal Pap smear results. The council is aware that referring practitioners and women may not fully appreciate these differences. It encourages the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners to work towards a way of providing clearer advice to general practitioners and women about the appropriate referral of women with different grades of screen detected cervical abnormality.
