Summary
This study compares two ways to screen for cervical cancer in over 76,000 Australian women aged 25-69. One group gets a Pap smear every 2.5 years, while the other gets an HPV test every 5 years. The goal is to see if the less frequent HPV test is just as good at finding early signs of cancer. Results will help shape future screening guidelines.
