The Violet trial recruits 250 women to test a tampon detecting microRNA biomarkers in vaginal fluid for earlier ovarian cancer diagnosis, improving survival rates.
- A new medical tampon may be able to detect the earliest signs of ovarian cancer by identifying biological signals in vaginal fluid.
- The trial will involve 250 women, including patients already diagnosed with ovarian cancer and women with the BRCA gene mutation.
- Consultant David Constable-Phelps said the tampon "would be a complete game-changer for women with ovarian cancer" if it worked.
