NCT ID NCT07273383

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether offering HPV self-sampling kits by mail, pharmacy, or clinic can make cervical cancer screening easier. One thousand women aged 25-65 in Quebec will try different ways to get and return the kit. The goal is to see which method works best and if women find it acceptable.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could make cervical cancer screening easier and more accessible, especially for those without a family doctor.

This is a feasibility study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove that self-sampling is as accurate as clinician-collected samples, and results may not apply outside Quebec.
