Four cancers could be detected by one smear test
Scientists embarking on a new trial are hopeful that a single smear test could shortly predict four different cancers.
A team from University College London will lead a group of researchers from 14 countries in order to establish a new screening process, hoping that this will help prevent female cancers.
The study will last four years and experts are hopeful that it will save thousands of lives by detecting ovarian, cervical, womb and a type of breast cancer.
The FORCEE (4C) trial will involve working towards establishing individual risk indicators for the cancers.
Research will include examining molecular marks in the cervical cells, which are taken during a regular smear tests. The markers should be able to determine the chances of the woman developing cervical, endometrial, ovarian and breast cancer.
