A new, non-invasive blood test could help detect cervical cancer earlier and improve how treatment and recovery are monitored.🩸

RBWH Gynaecological Oncologist Dr Andreas is behind the research out of UQ’s Queensland Centre for Gynaecological Cancer Research, with the study being led at RBWH.

“Despite advances in prevention and treatment, including the success of the Gardasil vaccine, cervical cancer continues to impose significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens on women worldwide,” he said.

“There are about 1000 women diagnosed with this cancer in Australia every year.

“There remains a critical need for more effective, non-invasive tools to support early detection, monitor treatment response, and guide clinical decision-making.’’

The CLARITY study will look at cervical cancer detection via a simple blood test, examining potential blood biomarkers to support screening and treatment.
