Pap Smear Research Study
Pap Smear Research Study
The principal hypothesis of this study is that HPV testing and/or p16 testing, either alone
 or in combination or associated with a Pap smear, will demonstrate greater specificity for
 clinically significant precancerous disease than will a Pap smear alone and that these tests
 will be of comparable or superior sensitivity than the Pap smear.
