Millions of women to be offered new cervical cancer test

Millions of women to be offered new cervical cancer test A new test for cervical cancer to be offered to millions of women should prevent hundreds of cases each year.

From tomorrow, the Government will begin rolling out the test in surgeries and clinics and it should be available nationwide in two years’ time.

The new test is far more accurate than the current smears and works by identifying the HPV virus which triggers nearly all tumours. The Daily Mail
