Pee test could replace smear for cervical cancer screening
NCT ID NCT07468578
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if a urine test for HPV is acceptable and effective for cervical cancer screening in the community. About 8,620 women aged 26-65 will provide a urine sample at home or a clinic. If the urine HPV test is positive, a follow-up DNA test will help decide who needs a colposcopy, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures.
