Background: Certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical samples are strongly
associated with squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) and invasive cervical carcinoma. We …

OBJECTIVE: The study examined interrelationships between sensitivity and specificity of “reflex
human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid testing” from liquid-based cervical …

Background: Annual Pap smear screening has been favored over less frequent screening
in the United States to minimize the risk of cervical cancer. We evaluated whether …

Background: The second generation Hybrid Capture microplate-based human papillomavirus
(HPV) test (HC II) was examined to determine its sensitivity for identification of cervical …

A hybrid capture test that can be used to detect at least 13 high‐risk HPV types (referred to
collectively as HPV‐HR) in cervical scrapes (Hybrid Capture 2 probe set B, HC2‐B) was …

Reproducibility of the Hybrid Capture 2 Test (HC 2) for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA
detection was evaluated by assaying frozen cervical specimens in 1997 and again in 2001 …

An etiological relation between HPV infection and the development of dysplastic and neoplastic
changes in the uterine cervix has been documented by many investigators all over the …

CONCLUSIONS: The rate of oncogenic HPV declines with age in all diagnostic groups, and
the rate of nononcogenic HPV declines with age in at least BCC and ASC. There is a high …
