Table 1 Cervical cancer screening guidelines for women who have undergone a hysterectomy

ASCCP/ACS/ASCP

Women at any age following a hysterectomy with removal of the cervix who have no history of CIN2+ should not be screened for vaginal cancer using any modality.

[15]

USPSTF

There is convincing evidence that continued screening after hysterectomy with removal of the cervix for indications other than a high-grade precancerous lesion or cervical cancer provides no benefits.

[6]

NCCN

Women who have had a total hysterectomy for benign indications and have no prior history of high-grade CIN should discontinue routine cytology testing.

[14]

KSGO

Women who have undergone hysterectomy should continue with screening tests if they have a history of CIN grade 2 or higher or if they do not know their pervious cytology results.

[30]

NCSP

Cervical cancer screening was not recommended for women who underwent hysterectomy and women with no history of CIN grade 2 or higher.
