NKCx support for research

Our analysis database contains nationwide detailed information about the cell samples, tissue samples and invitations. We are also collecting data on HPV testing, where we will soon have a nationwide database.

The registry's overall aim is to improve the fight against cervical cancer by evaluating and coordinating efforts that reduce the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, and reduce the negative side effects of preventive interventions. It can also be used to identify groups that can be studied more carefully in order to get a better understanding of tumor biology, and treatment effects.
