urine test for smear

i have read that they are researching a urine test to detect cancer cells instead of the smear test. is this true and when will it likely be ready for the public?

Re: urine test for smear

You are quite correct , this research is underway and shows promise.
It is likely to years before it is ready for general, effective use , so keep going for your cervical screening ( smear ) when invited !
Wishing you well
