Headline:

 This study found that it would not be either effective or cost-effective to screen with cytology and human papillomavirus (HPV) combined when compared with liquid-based cytology alone. HPV testing, either as triage or as initial test triaged by cytology, would be cheaper than cytology without HPV testing
