Findings highlight delays in cervical cancer diagnosis in Lusaka, indicating a need for enhanced histopathology services and prevention efforts.
The high rate of false-positives and long wait times call for expanded service infrastructure, particularly in rural settings, and continuing provider education/training to optimize screening sensitivity and shorten wait times in the Lusaka Province. Such measures may reduce the overload on the existing histopathology infrastructure and may provide lessons for other limited-resource countries facing similar cancer control and prevention challenges.
