Developing a Combined Molecular Screening and Triage Test for Cervical Cancer in Self-samples
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of the COMBISCREEN project is to develop a fully molecular cervical screening and triage approach that is applicable on self-samples, which are an easily accessible and non-invasive source of biomarkers. The project allows a one-step screening and triage modality and thereby identifies women with clinically relevant disease that are in need of treatment.
