While preventable, cervical cancer takes a heavy toll.
The high mortality rate from cervical cancer globally could be reduced through a comprehensive
approach that includes prevention, early diagnosis, effective screening and treatment programmes1

BD offers assays and instruments to support the cervical cancer
screening needs of today and tomorrow

The added complexity due to the HPV vaccination, in conjunction with the variability of screening methods, underscores the importance of a medical technology partner fully able to support and adapt to the requirements of healthcare providers and laboratories
