At-Home HPV test kits aim to boost cancer screening in swiss women
NCT ID NCT07171658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at ways to get more women aged 50 to 74 in Switzerland to screen for cervical cancer. Some women will receive a letter about screening, others will get a free at-home HPV test kit, and a third group will be observed without any reminder. The goal is to see which approach works best for women who haven't been screened in the past three years.
