Risk stratification of cervical lesions using capture sequencing and machine learning method based on HPV and human integrated genomic profiles

Abstract excerpt

From initial human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and precursor stages, the development of cervical cancer takes decades. High-sensitivity HPV DNA testing is currently recommended as primary screening method for cervical cancer, whereas better triage methodologies are encouraged to provide accurate risk management for HPV-positive women. Given that virus-driven genomic variation accumulates during cervical...
