At-home HPV testing boosts cervical cancer screening participation
Mailed at-home self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing increases cervical cancer screening participation in underscreened populations by almost threefold, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the…
New treatment could be advance against cervical precancers
Women who undergo regular Pap smears are no doubt familiar with the possibility of “precancerous” cells being detected. These cells—called cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CINs)—can progress to full-blown cervical cancers, but…
