Prevention and Early Detection of Cervical Cancer Through Self-Administered Screening

Prevention and Early Detection of Cervical Cancer Through Self-Administered Screening in the Community

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study examines prevention and early detection of cervical cancer through self-administration screening of patients in Western Uganda. The cervix is the opening of the uterus or womb, which is the organ that supports babies before they are born. There are simple tests that let doctors know whether or not patients have cells that may become cancer. Some of the tests determine whether patients have an increased risk for cervical disease, but they do not actually confirm that they have it: these are called "screening" tests. This study may help researchers determine how to best deliver cervical cancer prevention services using the HPV test.
