In May, the FDA approved the first at-home cervical cancer screening test, marking a significant advancement in women’s healthcare. This new option allows individuals to conveniently perform initial cervical cancer screening from the comfort of their own homes.
Texas has become the eighth state to gain access to this innovative test as Teal Health gradually expands its availability across the country. The company is rolling out the product state-by-state, aiming to increase early detection and improve health outcomes for women nationwide.
With at-home screening, more people may be encouraged to participate in regular cervical cancer screening, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and better treatment options. Stay tuned as Teal Health continues to introduce this important healthcare tool to additional states in the coming months.
