New Test Detects 25% More Disease Than Pap Smears.(SpectRx/Welch Allyn cervical cancer diagnosis)
2001 JUN 7 - (NewsRx Network) -- A study published in the May 2001 issue of the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease reports that prototypes of a non-invasive cervical cancer detection device being jointly developed by Welch Allyn, Inc., and SpectRx, Inc. (SPRX), detected 25% more disease than Pap smears.
The study of 111 women conducted at two U.S. sites also showed that the performance of the prototypes was not affected by age, history of childbirth, or previous cervical surgical history and generated results across an age range of 18 to 73 years old.
