Various media outlets reported on a UBC study that found the HPV test is better at detecting precancerous cervical changes than a Pap smear.
About 19,000 women participated in the decade-long study, which was led by Gina Ogilvie, a UBC physician and public health researcher.
Stories appeared in the Washington Post, NPR, CNN, Fox, U.S. News & World Report (also on Health Day) and San Francisco Chronicle.
