Projections of cervical cancer mortality and incidence in New Zealand: the possible impact of screening.
The aim was to estimate the likely burden of cervical cancer in New Zealand over the next two decades, according to whether cervical screening services are made more effective. ⋯ Plausible improvements in cervical screening are likely to be accompanied by only small changes in the burden of cervical cancer over the next two decades. If screening services are not improved, however, there will be striking increases in both mortality and incidence.
