Standardized ultrasound-based risk stratification for detection of ovarian cancer

This project, initiated in 2014, led to the development and large-scale implementation of a system for risk stratifying ovarian abnormalities seen on ultrasound to ensure that similar abnormalities are described in a similar way by radiologists. The system also allows clinical management to be consistent from patient to patient and aligned with actual ovarian cancer risk. A 2016 study showed the reporting categories defined by the system correlate with distinct levels of ovarian cancer risk. We are currently investigating the risks associated with specific ultrasound characteristics in a low-risk community-based population and how to improve the system to ensure prompt diagnosis of ovarian cancer while avoiding unnecessary surgery for women with benign ovarian cysts.

Implementation of large-scale HPV self-testing for cervical cancer screening

The goal of this project is to determine the best strategy for integrating a home-testing option for cervical cancer screening. The most sensitive screening test for cervical cancer and precancer is a PCR-based test for human papilloma virus (HPV), which was adopted in June 2020 as the primary screening method for women aged 25-64.  Several large clinical trials have demonstrated the samples self-collected by patients for HPV testing are as accurate as samples collected by clinicians.  The project aims to assess the acceptability and overall effectiveness of HPV self-testing using a prospective pragmatic cluster-randomized design. The study results will inform which patients are most likely to benefit from a home-testing strategy and factors that influence uptake and completion of screening.
