Age‐standardized rates of cervical cancer over time for the different scenarios. A, National incidence; B, Incidence in Peninsular Malaysia; C, Incidence in East Malaysia; D, National mortality; E, Mortality in Peninsular Malaysia; F, Mortality in East Malaysia. Note that Vax + HPV self‐sampling and Vax + HPV self‐sampling + triage uses twice lifetime screening at ages 35 and 45 in Peninsular Malaysia and in urban East Malaysia. However, for rural East Malaysia, once‐lifetime at age 35 point‐of‐care testing is used. See Section  for details [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
