Simple blood or urine test could spot cervical cancer
NCT ID NCT04743674
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether HPV DNA found in blood and urine can be used as a simple, non-invasive way to detect cervical cancer and monitor how well treatment is working. Researchers will collect samples from 30 women newly diagnosed with cervical cancer before and after their treatment. The goal is to see if these tests can replace more invasive procedures like biopsies.
