Cervical cancer screening in rural Bhutan with the careHPV test on self-collected samples: an ongoing cross-sectional, population-based study (REACH-Bhutan)

A new research project coordinated by IARC in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Bhutan assesses the feasibility and outcomes of a novel approach to cervical cancer screening in rural Bhutan. The study, named “REACH-Bhutan”, evaluates the use of the careHPV test on self-collected samples to achieve high coverage. The details and preliminary results are published today in BMJ Open.
