Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is the primary cause of cervical cancer. However, conventional PCR-based assays provide limited HPV genotyping, and cytology alone has low sensitivity for detecting subclinical infections. Comprehensive molecular approaches are needed to better characterize HPV genotypes and co-infections in community screening settings. METHODS: This study evaluated...
