Pap Smear Research Study

February 20, 2018 updated by: University Health Network, Toronto

Evaluation of the Role of Human Papillomavirus Testing and p16 Expression in the Management of Patients Undergoing Cervical Cancer Screening

The principal hypothesis of this study is that HPV testing and/or p16 testing, either alone or in combination or associated with a Pap smear, will demonstrate greater specificity for clinically significant precancerous disease than will a Pap smear alone and that these tests will be of comparable or superior sensitivity than the Pap smear.
