Screening programme overview

– The national cervical cancer screening programme has been running since the 1970s. In 2023 the screening method was either HPV-testing (82%) or Pap testing (18%) depending on the municipality.

– The target population, i.e., ages 30 to 65, were invited for routine screening at ages divisible by five. In some municipalities those aged 25 were also invited. In addition, those who had previously been detected with a mild positive screening result (HPV-positivity, ASC-US, LSIL) and were not referred to further examinations, received an invitation for risk group screening.

– The size of the statuory routine screening target population (ages 30-65) was 277 191 persons and of these 277 159 (99,99%) person’s contacts were delivered to the screening providers for sending the invitations.

– Out of the target population in 2023, 73% attended screening. In routine screening 5,5% were recommended risk group screening and 1,2% were referred for further examinations. In risk group screening 2,3% received a recommendation to another risk group screen and 41,5% were referred to further examinations.

– The method of the further examination was colposcopy, where altogether 39 cervical cancers and 1 408 severe precancers were detected.

  • The data on diagnoses only includes data from the screening registry, cancer registry data nor data on diagnoses outside of the national screening programme have not been linked to obtain these figures.

Indicator definitions

  • The participation rate was calculated by dividing the successful tests (at most one per person) with the number of persons who were invited. Since 2020, due to limitations in registration, the number of persons invited might be slightly smaller/larger than reported here.
  • Screening results are classified as the most severe result of the person within a screening episode.
  • The confidence intervals in positivity rates and attendance rates model the uncertainty related to size of the population and random variation. The intervals are calculated using exact binomial model and 95%–confidence.

Population classification

  • The statistics production uses Statistics Finland’s individual-level data on education under permit TK/2743/07.03.00/2023.
  • Education categories were created by combining the categories of pre-primary, lower primary, and upper primary education into the primary education category, combining secondary education and special vocational qualifications into the secondary education category, and combining lower and upper tertiary education and doctoral education into the tertiary education category. Unknown and missing data were combined with the primary education category. The education data is from the year preceding the screening year (2022).
  • Native language is based on data from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

Result classification

  • Normal: The next invitation will be sent after 5 years until age 65.
  • Borderline: The result requires a follow-up screen (new sample) after 12-24 months (HPV+, ASC-US, LSIL with no referral).
  • Referral: The result requires a referral to colposcopy or a referral has been given.
  • HPV tested: The number and proportion of women screened by the HPV test of the screened women. Overlaps with the other result categories.
  • HPV positive: The number and proportion of HPV positives of women who were screened by the HPV test. Overlaps with the other result categories.
  • Cervical cancer: Invasive and microinvasive carsinomas of the cervix.
  • AIS: Adenocarcinoma in situ.
  • HSIL: Histological HSIL, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.
  • LSIL: Histological LSIL, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.
  • Normal/benign: Normal or benign findings.
  • No further examinations: The person did not attend colposcopy or data has not been delivered to the cancer registry.
  • Other/unknown: Result is missing/inadequate; No biopsy was taken; Other cancers or precancers (primary site other than cervix).
  • Histological HSIL+: HSIL, AIS, or cervical cancer.
  • Colposcopy done: The person attended colposcopy and data was delivered to the cancer registry. This information has been available since around 2022.
