  CONCLUSIONS
  The persistent infection by human papillomavirus is a necessary condition for development of cervical cancer. Screening activity has an influence on it. Current screening is based on regular PAP smear. It should be evaluated by laboratory with accreditation and quality control. HPV test is too expansive for routine connection with screening for the most European countries.
