Cervical cancer prevention study seeks women with HPV or abnormal pap.
The purpose of this study is to see if taking green tea extract capsules (called Polyphenon E) has any good or bad effects on the virus, the cells of the cervix or your risk for cancer of the cervix. Recent studies of green tea extracts and compounds have shown some improvement in cervical cell abnormalities and HPV infection in women. Women who have had a mildly abnormal pap smear, biopsy or HPV between now and six to12 months ago are being recruited for the study. Call for a brochure or more information.
