New Tech Promises Easier Cervical Cancer Screening, Duke University Study
Duke University researchers have developed a handheld device for cervical cancer screening that promises to do away with uncomfortable speculums and high-cost colposcopes.
The "pocket colposcope" is a slender wand that can connect to many devices, including laptops or cell phones.
If widely adopted, women might even use the device to self-screen, transforming screening and cure rates in low-income countries and regions of the United States, where cervical cancer is most prevalent.
