New 2019 ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors provide new recommendations. ASCCP is pleased to offer this app to streamline navigation of the ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors. The guidelines articles, as published in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, as well as the comprehensive risk estimates, can be accessed through https://www.asccp.org/guidelines. These evidence-based management guidelines, initially developed in 2019, came together through a consensus process of 19 organizations. The updated management guidelines aim to: • Allow for a more complete and precise estimation of risk • Provide more appropriate intervention for high-risk individuals (detect and treat more precancer) • Recommend less intervention for low-risk individuals (decrease testing and treatment that won’t prevent cancer and may cause reproductive harm) • Allow for the future addition of new risk modifiers and screening and management technologies See https://www.asccp.org/UserGuide for tips on using the app.
Despite following the instructions and tips for using the new app, it’s performance is woeful compared to its predecessor. Fingers crossed there is a revision and an another version becomes available which we can use to provide patient care.
It looks like there are some updates but it has not automatically updated my app. How do the updates get applied?

I’m not a computer or a monkey . Let me see the flow charts to make clinical decisions.
Not user friendly
Not easy to read or understand
Great app. Helps me remember what to do and is a very good patient education tool
The new app is much harder to navigate than the old app! Not a fan
Not good. The previous app was quick and easy. This app is more just reading. Hope you make lots of improvements.
I do not understand why the last app was not updated and we have to purchase a new one. I had no idea there was a new app. I assumed my last app was auto updating with the most recent guidelines. I ended up recommending a colpo for a patient that didn’t need one because I was using an outdated app and recommendations changed. Thankfully she did not end up having an unnecessary procedure but this is a huge issue. At the very least, a notification when opening the last app stating an updated version is available would have been nice so we not using outdated information. This is not good patient care.
