Urine test for cervical cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to screen for cervical cancer using a urine sample instead of a traditional exam. The test checks for HPV (the virus that causes most cervical cancers) and if found, looks at DNA changes to decide if you need more tests. This could make screening easier and more comfortable for you.

This trial lets you collect your own cervical sample in the emergency department to check for cancer-causing HPV. It aims to make screening easier for people who might not get tested otherwise.
This trial tests a new kind of vaginal speculum (the tool used to look inside the vagina during a pelvic exam). It is for people who have never had this exam before, to see if it works well for cervical cancer screening.
This study tests ScreenFire, a new low-cost test for HPV (a virus linked to cervical cancer) that you can do yourself at home. Researchers want to see if it works as well as standard tests and costs less.
This study looks for a new set of urine “markers” (measurable substances in urine) that may help detect cancer earlier. If you join, they will collect your urine and compare results between people with cancer and people without cancer.
This study tests if a urine sample can replace a cervical swab for HPV testing during cervical cancer screening. If it works, it could make screening easier and less uncomfortable.
This study looks at whether testing for HPV (the virus that can lead to cervical cancer) using a urine sample can help with cervical cancer screening. It’s for women living with HIV, who may be at higher risk and need effective, easy screening.
