Mailed self-test boosts cervical cancer screening in hard-to-reach women
NCT ID NCT02255084
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two methods to help women who have not been screened for cervical cancer get tested. One group received a vaginal self-sampling kit in the mail, while the other was invited to visit their general practitioner. The goal was to see which approach leads more women to complete screening. Over 3,600 women aged 30 to 65 in France took part.
