Human Papillomavirus Testing for Primary Cervical Cancer Screening.Editorial. Reports on the testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) in the screening of primary cervical cancer. Efforts to eradicate cervical cancer; Review done by the National Health Service of the United Kingdom; Tests performed to ...
For the new study, researchers analyzed data from 855 women with a positive HPV self-test. They then sorted the women into high-, medium- or low-risk groups based on the type of HPV they had and how much virus was present in their self-test....
Thus, it should not be surprising that testing for HPV should have a role in measures aimed at control of this disease. The ultimate goal must be eradication of HPV by vaccination, but a more imme- diate prospect is to utilize the detection and monitoring of the virus as part of the ...
A systematic review of the available evidence on the role of HPV testing in cervical screening has been published by the Health Technology Assessment Committee of the UK Department of Health. The review summarized relevant data on testing methods, natural history, and prevalence of the virus in di...
OBJECTIVE: Women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk of cervical neoplasia while the value of cytologic screening is limited due to a high prevalence of inflammatory disease. The study was conducted to determine whether testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) DN...
To assess the utility of testing for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA as a triage strategy for detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2/3 in women with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection and cytology read as atypical cells of uncertain significance (ASCUS)...

Several studies have shown that the human papilloma virus (HPV) test is a more sensitive and objective primary cervical cancer screening tool than cytology. Therefore, conversion of cytology into HPV screening (as is planned in The Netherlands and some other European regions) will result in a bet...
of cellular markers:Unlike other types of HPV testing, this method doesn’t look for the genetic material of the HPV virus. Instead, it looks for evidence of two proteins called p16 and Ki-67. The amount of these proteins is elevated in cell samples that are infected with the HPV virus....
