Aim: Compare the performance of a non-hazardous in-house UCM with a methanol based PreservCyt® solution (Hologic) that is not suitable for self-collection at home
Partners: University of Antwerp (Belgium), International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INC) (Colombia)
Results: Performance of both preservatives were concordant for detecting HPV16/18 in first-void urine from young women attending cervical cancer screening at two health centers in Colombia.
