First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is checking if a new, low-cost HPV test called ScreenFire works as well as the standard test for finding cervical cancer risk. About 9,100 women aged 30-59 will use a self-collection method. The goal is to see if the test is accurate, reduces follow-up visits, and is cost-effective.
