Cervix Self-Screening Pilot

BC Cancer Cervix Screening is conducting a pilot in select communities to assess how best to offer cervix self-screening kits to eligible individuals due for screening.

Cervix self-screening offers an innovative approach to increasing screening capacity within the system and has been shown to reduce barriers to screening.

Patients in communities within the Tri-Cities (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Belcarra, Anmore), New Westminster, lower Sunshine Coast, Pemberton, Port Alberni, and Vancouver Island Oceanside communities have been invited to participate in the pilot by mail. Eligible participants who have not received a screening kit in the mail can now request one by calling 1-877-702-6566. After a patient collects their sample, it is delivered to the lab where HPV testing will be performed. Several mailing strategies will be tested during the pilot. 

The program will evaluate attendance at recommended follow-up through the pathways of care (follow-up Pap, colposcopy, and/or treatment as needed) after a positive result.
