Summary
This study offered a rapid hepatitis C test to 1,500 women aged 50-74 who were already coming in for breast cancer screening in Montpellier, France. The goal was to see how many women would agree to the extra test and how many had undiagnosed hepatitis C. Women who tested positive were then connected to care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help find undiagnosed hepatitis C cases in older women during routine breast cancer screening, supporting elimination goals.
