Scientists develop more accurate test for cervical cancer A more accurate test for cell changes that could lead to cervical cancer has been developed by scientists.
The test can also pick up DNA markers for some other cancers, meaning it could in future be used as a predictive test for breast, womb, cervical and ovarian cancer.
When tested for cervical cancer, it performed better than currently available methods for detecting those with advanced cell changes who need treatment. The Independent
