First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether it's practical and acceptable to offer HPV testing and immediate treatment for precancerous cervical lesions in the same visit. It involves over 17,600 women in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guatemala, and the Philippines. The goal is to see if this integrated approach can be rolled out widely to help eliminate cervical cancer in low- and middle-income countries.
