In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to explore whether a simple blood test can be used to help detect and monitor cervical cancer. The investigators are studying tiny fragments and particles found in blood, called cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicles (EVs), to determine whether these can act as early warning signs (biomarkers) of cervical cancer. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) refers to tiny fragments of genetic material (DNA) that are naturally released from cells into the bloodstream when cells die or renew. Cell-free DNA circulates naturally in the blood. In people with cancer, some of the cfDNA originates from cancer cells; this component is called circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA). Analysis of cfDNA can detect signs of cancer, such as specific genetic changes or pieces of viral DNA, including human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA, without requiring removal of tissue from the cervix. Extracellular vesicles (
