Stepwise algorithm combining HPV high-risk DNA-based assays and RNA-based assay for high grade CIN in women with abnormal smears reffered to colposcopy
21 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA provides higher sensitivity but lower specificity than cytology for the identification of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to combine DNA- and RNA-based assays in order to improve the detection of advanced disease (CIN2+). METHODS: 107 ASCUS+ women were included in Marseilles (France)...
