ASCCP Management Guidelines

ASCCP

About this app

The ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for managing abnormal cervical cancer screening results and cancer precursors, including post-colposcopy and post-treatment scenarios.

ASCCP is pleased to offer this app to streamline navigation of the ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors. The guidelines articles, as published in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, as well as the comprehensive risk estimates, can be accessed through https://www.asccp.org/guidelines.

These evidence-based management guidelines, initially developed in 2019, came together through a consensus process of 19 organizations. The updated management guidelines aim to:

• Allow for a more complete and precise estimation of risk
• Provide more appropriate intervention for high-risk individuals (detect and treat more precancer)
• Recommend less intervention for low-risk individuals (decrease testing and treatment that won’t prevent cancer and may cause reproductive harm)
• Allow for the future addition of new risk modifiers and screening and management technologies

See https://www.asccp.org/UserGuide for tips on using the app.

Ratings and reviews

I get locked on the "rate this app" screen when I open the app and have to reboot it just to get to the next screen. I agree with others that the older interface was much easier to use. Also if the patient didn't follow the exact guidelines, it can't give a recommendation (eg. what to do when never got the suggested colposcopy).

This is such a huge help in guiding our follow-up. It's not only difficult to memorize all the different management protocols that vary based on age, degree of dysplasia, etc, but it also ensures that we are not going to miss something or make a mistake and keeps us evidence-based.

They updated the app by making a new app and without notification on the old app called (ASCCP MOBILE) that explains that the critical information there is out of date. That app doesn't even exist on the store now. Then they published another app that you're supposed to buy AGAIN. which will be out of date soon also and you'll never even notice. So unreliable. And what's the point of having a personalized app if you're not going to provide specific data instead just an algorithm.
