It could be. British researchers at the Queen Mary University of London have developed a method that is less invasive and that you can do at home. The women who were allowed to try the method are enthusiastic. Especially since you could perform the test at home. Moreover, the test is less invasive:it is a urine test.
Researcher Dr. Belinda Nedjai:“In the beginning, the self-tests will mainly be used for women who do not show up for the calls for population screening and in countries where this program is not available. In the long term, the self-test can become standard for everyone.”
We can't wait!
