Clinical Trial: Cervical Cancer Screening of Postmenopausal Women in Low- and Middle-income Countries Using HPV Self-sampling and Triage by Genotyping and Cytology

U.S., Nov. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07244315) titled 'Cervical Cancer Screening of Postmenopausal Women in Low- and Middle-income Countries Using HPV Self-sampling and Triage by Genotyping and Cytology' on Nov. 17.
