RCOG review of smear tests to be published

An independent review of the smear tests of more than 1,000 women who developed cervical cancer is due to be published today.
The long-awaited report, by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), commissioned by the Government in May 2018, will reveal the extent to which abnormalities were missed in the smear history of 1,079 women, prior to their developing cancer.
