UK Doctors Develop Non-Invasive Womb Cancer Test Using Just Urine and Vaginal Fluid
Researchers at the University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust developed a non-invasive test for womb cancer that analyses cells from urine and vaginal fluid. It could replace the internal ultrasound, womb-lining biopsy and hysteroscopy currently used to investigate post-menopausal bleeding, which triggers urgent cancer referrals even though only 5% to 10% of those women turn out to have cancer. The test is cheap, and the team says it could transform care for thousands of women a year.
