Scientific titleEvaluation of cytology and HPV testing for testing for anal intraepithelial neoplasia in high-risk populations in the UK: a non-randomised study
Study acronymANALOGY
Study objectivesThe aim of this study is to make an initial evaluation of the utility of offering 'high risk' people testing for anal cancer; to test how easy it would be to recruit the at risk population; to find out what patients feel about screening; and to obtain up to date information for the UK on the numbers of people likely to have an abnormal test result at each stage of the testing process.
