HPV Test with Cytology Adds Little Diagnostic Value

The main goal of cervical screening programs is to detect and treat precancer before cancer develops. Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is more sensitive than cytology for detecting precancer. More...

Urine Test Developed for Accurate TB Detection

An accurate screening test for active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is urgently needed for patients who are not co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Worldwide, TB is one of the most prevalent bacterial infections, with the highest mortality in developing countries. More...
