Abstract excerpt
HPV DNA-positive women with ASC-US/LSIL cytology represent a heterogeneous risk group in cervical screening and require efficient triage. We evaluated a genotype-specific 7-type HPV E6/E7 mRNA assay (PreTect HPV-Proofer 7; types 16/18/31/33/45/52/58) in a real-world quality-assurance cohort at Nordland Hospital (Bodø, Norway). Among HPV-positive women with ASC-US/LSIL reflex cytology, 225 had sufficient residual...
