Persistent Human Papillomavirus Infection as a Predictor of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. (Original Contribution)

Article Abstract:

Researchers provide more evidence that persistent infection with human papillomavirus is a risk factor for cervical cancer. They repeatedly tested 1,611 healthy women for papillomavirus infection and a type of precancerous cervical disease called squamous intraepithelial lesions over an eight-year period. Human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 were most likely to cause squamous intraepithelial lesions.

Human papillomavirus DNA versus Papanicolaou screening tests for cervical cancer

Article Abstract:

Several studies are conducted to compare the testing for DNA of human papillomaviruses (HPV) and the Papanicolaou (Pap) test for cervical-cancer screening. The results show that HPV testing is much more sensitive than the Pap testing.
