| | Researchers have uncovered an increased risk of cervical cancer in women whose cervical cells test positive for certain high-risk human papillomavirus types but do not show any signs of cellular abnormalities. | | | | The human papilloma virus can cause cervical cancer. According to new guidelines in Sweden, women over thirty therefore undergo initial screening for the virus rather than a smear test. | | | | The PHE campaign to vaccinate all girls between the ages of 12 and 18 years against HPV was only achieved in two-thirds of the population between 2017-2018. | | | | A UK survey of more than 2,000 young women has shown that many delay or avoid having a smear test due to feeling scared, vulnerable, or embarrassed. | | | | Researchers have developed a new cervical cancer test that proved to be 100% effective at detecting the cancer in a trial of 15,744 participants. | |
