A key objective of the National Cervical Screening Programme (NCSP) is to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer by detecting precancerous high grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (HSIL). Monitoring trends in HSIL detection is critical to understanding the epidemiology of cervical cancer in New Zealand and to evaluating the performance of the NCSP.
