About this app

New 2019 ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors provide new recommendations.

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

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app and without notification on the old app called (ASCCP MOBILE) that explains that the critical information there is out of date.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 which will be out of date soon also and you'll never even notice.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.

While the updated information is appreciated, the change in user interface is a step backward from the previous version, particularly when it comes to inputting findings after abnormal screening results, colposcopies, and excisional procedures. At best it is a functional quick reference for the algorithim cards.

Good content. I always have to run the app twice fora patient before I get a result. (First time is blank). And odd recommendations sometimes that aren't well specified.
