HPV Testing Bests Pap for Cervical Screening

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

Primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing may be better than Pap testing at screening for cervical cancer: In the HPV FOCAL study, HPV testing detected precancerous cervical lesions earlier than Pap testing, and it was less likely to miss early signs of disease.
