Abstract:The inclusion of possibly oncogenic types in the HPV test panel led to an additional 51 colposcopy biopsies (33% increase), with no additional cases of CIN 2+. Our results suggest that including possibly oncogenic HPV types increases the number of colposcopy biopsies with minimal improvements in detection of CIN2 +.
“…HPV is a DNA virus associated with precancerous conditions of the lower genital tract. Approximately 27 000 cases of HPV‐related cancers occur each year in the USA . More than 100 HPV types are known, and more than 40 types can be spread through sexual contact.…”
