Options in human papillomavirus (HPV) detection for cervical cancer screening: comparison between full genotyping and a rapid qualitative HPV-DNA assay in Ghana
BACKGROUND Modern cervical cancer screening increasingly relies on the use of molecular techniques detecting high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus (hr-HPV). A major challenge for developing countries like Ghana has been the unavailability and costs of HPV DNA-based testing. This study compares the performance of careHPV, a semi-rapid and affordable qualitative detection assay for 14 hr-HPV g...
متن کاملCervical Cancer and Genital Infections: Assessment of Performance and Validation in Human Papillomavirus Genotyping Assays in Iran, its Neighbouring Countries and Persian Gulf Area
Background: The accuracy of diagnostic assays in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genital infection and cervical cancer has remained a clinical challenge in diagnosis. Evidence indicates that a large proportion of cervical cancer can be prevented through organized care for HPV and testing. Countries with low per capita income, such as Iran and its neighbour...
متن کاملPnm-17: Cost Effectiveness of Human Papillomavirus Testing in Cervical Cancer Diagnosis
Background: Epidemiological studies are shown robust association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. From 1990 HPV was known as a necessary but insufficient cause of cervical invasive cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cost effectiveness of HPV test in cervical cancer screening. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review article; the newest scienti...
متن کاملFrequency of Dysplastic and Cancerous Pap Smear and Genotyping of Human Papillomavirus by DNA Probetechniques in Kerman, Iran
Background & Aims: Around the world, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women. Today, screening programs have reduced morbidity and mortality rates of this disease. Epidemiological and molecular studies have shown that certain types of the human papillomavirus are carcinogen types and the primary cause of cervical cancer. HPV type 16 and 18 are the most common high-risk types. ...
متن کاملشناسایی مولکولی پاپیلوما ویروس انسانی در نمونه های بافتی بیماران مبتلا به سرطان دهانه رحم به روش PCR چندگانه
Introduction: Contamination with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most important risk factors for developing cervix cancer. Since there is no possibility of detecting the virus and its subtypes by using current biochemical and serological methods and cell culture, the molecular methods such as multiplex PCR have particular importance in accurate, early and definite diagnosis o...
