title: Costs and benefits of cervical screening. III. Cost/benefit analysis of a call of previously unscreened women.
abstract: A population-based cervical screening programme issued invitations to women with no record of a previous smear. This call was very good value, at 5780 Pounds per life saved or 159 Pounds per life-year saved at 1991 prices. The first priority for the cervical screening service should be comprehensive coverage.
