Detection of HPV16 E7 oncoproteins in urine samples using ultrasensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Caption

Researchers have now validated a noninvasive method for screening cervical cancer. This could open new avenues for cancer screening by collection of urine sample by the patients themselves and then delivering it to medical facility for testing. This alternative method is a step forward to eradicate cervical cancer by lowering the barriers related to screening.
