NCT ID NCT04423679
First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a self-collected sample (like a swab you do at home) can be used to screen for cervical cancer as accurately as a sample collected by a doctor. Researchers tested new DNA markers that measure changes in HPV and human genes to better identify women at high risk for cervical precancer. The goal is to make screening more convenient and accessible, especially for those who might skip a doctor visit.
