全球迫切需要有效和负担得起的宫颈癌筛查和诊断方法。在发展中国家，宫颈恶性肿瘤仍然是妇女癌症相关死亡的主要原因。鉴于这些死亡在很大程度上是可以预防的，这一现实可能难以接受;在实施宫颈筛查计划的地方，宫颈癌相关死亡人数大幅下降。在发达国家，宫颈疾病的挑战来自高成本和过度治疗。国家癌症研究所资助的计划项目正在评估光学技术在宫颈癌中的适用性。该项目的任务是创建用于疾病检测和诊断的工具，这些工具价格低廉，需要最少的专业知识，比现有模式更准确，并且可以在各种临床环境中切实可行。本文介绍了该项目的现状和长期目标。(Gend 2012;9：S7-S24）（C）2012 Elsevier HS Journals，Inc.

There is an urgent global need for effective and affordable approaches to cervical cancer screening and diagnosis. In developing nations, cervical malignancies remain the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. This reality may be difficult to accept given that these deaths are largely preventable; where cervical screening programs have been implemented, cervical cancer related deaths have decreased dramatically. In developed countries, the challenges of cervical disease stem from high costs and overtreatment. The National Cancer Institute funded Program Project is evaluating the applicability of optical technologies in cervical cancer. The mandate of the project is to create tools for disease detection and diagnosis that are inexpensive, require minimal expertise, are more accurate than existing modalities, and can be feasibly implemented in a variety of clinical settings. This article presents the status and long-term goals of the project. (Gend Med. 2012;9:S7-S24) (C) 2012 Elsevier HS Journals, Inc. All rights reserved.
