About HPV test alone method(*2)
Subjects to the HPV Testing Only Act
Those who have not received a cervical cancer health check-up in Yokohama from April to the end of December 2024
(Those who consulted between April 2024 and the end of December 2024 can consult in 2026.)
The HPV test alone method is OK once every five years.
According to the HPV test alone method, if the result is negative, the next consultation will be five years later, and the burden of consultation will be reduced compared to the two-year cytology test. If the result is positive, a test to check the condition of the cells will be performed (re-examination at the test is not required). Depending on the test results, it will be re-examined or detailed inspection one year later.
※The cervical cancer health check-up using the HPV test alone method for women aged 30 to 60 will be implemented from January 2025. Until then, continue to have your current cervical cancer health check-up (cytology). Information will be sent to those who are eligible.
However, if you have any worrisome symptoms, consult a medical institution such as a gynecology without waiting for a cancer screening.
Information will be mailed sequentially from December.
Information is required for consultation.
There is no expiration date, but we recommend that you consult early.
