Study results will be used to update and validate LuViva’s software for use as a primary screener for cervical disease that leads to cancer.

"It is expected to enroll between 600 and 800 women, with 160 women in Augusta and the remainder in Peru."

Guided Therapeutics CEO Gene Cartwright said: "The lack of access to healthcare is a leading contributing factor to the large number of cases and the high death-rate from cervical cancer in developing countries.

"LuViva, which provides immediate results without the need for laboratory support, is an ideal technology to help fight cervical cancer with early detection."
