VISUAL INSPECTION WITH ACETIC ACID
WHY DO
World Heath Organization Recommendation
The study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of conventional cytology, liquid-based cytology, and VIA to detect pre-malignant and malignant cervical lesions. 249 women participated in the study. Of these 6/249 (2.4%) turned out positive in pap smear, 7/249 (2.8%) turned out positive in liquid-based cytology while 23/249 (9.2%) turned out positive in VIA. Colposcopic guided cervical biopsy was done in all 249 patients to confirm the results.
Study Conclusion: Among the three screening tests, VIA appears to be the most accurate, followed by liquid-based cytology, as compared to conventional pap smear.
Use a strategy of screen with VIA and treat, over a strategy of screen with cytology followed by colposcopy (with or without biopsy) and treat. The recommendation for VIA over cytology (Pap Smear & Liquid-Based) followed by colposcopy can be applied in countries that are currently considering either programme or countries that have both programmes are available.

Diagnostic accuracy of conventional cervical cytology (papanicolau smear), liquid-based cytology (LBC) and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) in detecting premalignant and malignant lesions among Filipino Women in a tertiary hospital*
A Pap test, aka conventional cytology, is a procedure where cells are collected from the surface of the cervix and vagina. The cells are viewed under a microscope to find out if they are abnormal. Liquid-based is a new method of collecting and viewing cells. Collected specimen is placed on a liquid-based medium instead of a glass slide
VIA involves inserting a vaginal speculum and swabbing the cervix with 3% to 5% acetic acid solution before doing a cervical inspection. The normal cervical lining is light pink to red in color. A cervical premalignant state (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia – CIN) will turn the cervix into aceto-white for a few minutes after the application of acetic acid.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) test detects the presence of the human papillomavirus, a virus that can lead to the development of genital warts, abnormal cervical cells or cervical cancer. Doctors can test for the HPV types that are most likely to cause cervical cancer by looking for pieces of their DNA in cervical cells. The test can be done at the same time as a Pap test.

RELAY FOR LIFE - PHILIPPINE CANCER SOCIETY
The Relay For Life movement is the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraiser project dedicated to helping communities attack cancer. Since 2014, the Philippine Cancer Society embraced the idea and led the event to raise funds for cancer annually. This year 2020, the walk continues to live on in spite of COVID 19. Because Cancer won't stop, neither should we.
In line with the prohibition to hold mass gatherings due to COVID 19, this year's walk is planned to go virtual. The tentative date is set some time on 26 August. We look forward to seeing you there.
