Description
Pallavi Sarma and co-authors screened rural women in Assam, India, for cervical cancer risk in a study published in 2024. Two tests were used: one for the virus that drives most such cancers, and a smear test for abnormal cells.
The study enrolled 480 women aged twenty to seventy in Kamrup District and took two samples from each. About three in a hundred tested positive for the high risk virus, and about eight in a hundred had an abnormal smear. Tobacco chewing and alcohol use were tied to both positive results. Irregular periods, genital infection, and having more than three children were also tied to a positive virus test.
