This review compiles cervical cancer screening devices for Pap smear, VIA/VILI, and HPV-DNA self-testing, evaluating functionality, performance in addressing procedural limitations, and—where applicable—cervical cell collection efficacy and abnormality detection accuracy.

Hence the majority of cervical cancer patients visiting the hospitals are diagnosed at advanced stage, often leading to poor survival rate. This paper aims to review and compile available cancer screening devices so that more people in this field will adopt suitable devices in cervical cancer screening routine depending on requirements which may encourage the uptake in cervical screening tests. Methods: This paper reviews devices invented for different cervical cancer screening methods, which are Pap smear test, visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) or Lugol’s iodine (VILI), and HPV (human papillomavirus)-DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) self-test in terms of functionality, performance in solving the limitations of screening procedure and additionally where applicable, the cervical cell collection efficacy and abnormality detection accuracy. The devices are either available in the market, published in research articles or published in international patent databases. Result: The reviewed devices either simplified the screening procedure to improve the clinical efficiency and accuracy in screening, reduced the pain and discomfort experienced by women during screening procedures, or achieved both outcomes. Conclusion: Many devices have been invented to improve the screening procedures which may potentially improve the uptake in cervical screening tests and encourage the organization of screening campaigns to reduce cervical cancer incidence.  \nKeywords: Cervical cancer screening-cervical cancer prevention-Pap smear test-VIA/VILI-HPV DNA test  \nAsian Pac J Cancer Prev, 24 (7), 2207-2215  \nIntroduction  \nAccording to World Health Organization, cervical cancer is ranked as the fourth most common cancer among women, where there were approximately 570,000 diagnosed cases and 311,000 deaths in 2018 (World Health Organization, 2020) . Majority of the diagnosed cases and deaths are from developing countries, where there are lack of screening programs and treatment plans for cervical cancer. In developed countries, early intervention such as early-stage screening and treatment programs has successfully reduced cervical cancer incidence and death rate. The difference in incidence rate between developed and developing country is huge, whereby the highest age standardized incidence rate is seen in Swaziland at 75.3 per 100,000 women whereas the incidence rate for European regions is between 6.8 to 9 per 100,000 only in 2018 (World Cancer Research Fund, 2018) . In Southeast Asia, cervical cancer incidence rate is 17.2 per 100,000 . The main cause of cervical cancer is HPV, which is  \nthe most common sexually transmitted disease. Vaccines produced by Merck, known as Gardasil 9 protects against 9 subtypes of HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 whereas Cervarix is effective against HPV type 16 and 18 (National Cancer Institute, 2015) However, these vaccines can only give maximum protection for women who never had exposure to HPV, such as prepubescent and teenagers. Even so, women who had received the vaccine before will still need to undergo cervical cancer screening in later age to prevent cervical cancer caused from other strains of HPV not covered by vaccine. Also, many developing countries could not afford to vaccinate their children, causing them to be highly exposed to HPV in adulthood. Thus, cervical cancer screening program is very crucial to reducing cancer incidence and mortality.  \nThere are a few cervical screening methods, which are conventional Pap smear test, liquid-based Pap smear test, HPV DNA test, and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) or visual insp","cbCaid9yZGgKtaHb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid9yZGgKtaHb","pdf",492360,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Cervical cancer burden and the role of screening\n## Cervical screening methods and workflow\n## Sampling and specimen collection for Pap smear and HPV tests\n# Review scope and device evaluation\n## Pap smear test devices\n## Visual inspection with acetic acid and Lugol’s iodine (VIA/VILI)\n## HPV-DNA self-testing devices\n# Findings and outcomes\n## Improvements to clinical efficiency and accuracy\n## Reduction of pain and discomfort\n# Conclusion\n## Potential to increase screening uptake and reduce incidence","[{\"question\":\"Why does cervical cancer screening uptake remain low in many settings?\",\"answer\":\"Low screening coverage and women’s reluctance to participate limit uptake.
