Green tea's impact on cervical cancer to be tested
Scientists from Arizona are conducting a clinical study to analyze if green tea can help prevent cervical cancer. The research, funded by the National Cancer Institute, is testing a green-tea extract's effect on viruses that can cause cervical cancer in hopes of finding the first non-surgical way of preventing the disease. The group of viruses, commonly known as HPV, is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, with an estimated 20 million people carrying the virus.
