Researchers at Temple University Hospital are conducting a study to test the effectiveness of a new cervical cancer detection tool called the Bio-probe. “This will be the new pap smear of the future,” says Dr. Enrique Hernandez, Director of Gynecologic Oncology at Temple University Hospital. The function of the Bio-probe is to detect pre-cancerous lesions.
The study will compare readings from the Bio-probe with the traditional means of diagnosis: Pap test, pelvic exam, and biopsy diagnosis for each woman.
