Advances in HPV Diagnostic Testing: Technologies Enhancing Detection of High-Risk Strains Linked to Cervical Cancer
Register to join us for our webinar on September 19th @ 4pm BST!
With over 12 different types of human papilloma virus (HPV) that can cause cancer, it is the leading cause of cervical cancer in women. The HPV/Pap smear co-test has improved the accuracy of cervical cancer screening; however the test has several limitations. Recent advancements in molecular diagnostics have led to the development of genotype-specific HPV tests that accurately detect and differentiate HPV strains, including high-risk oncogenic types such as HPV-16 and HPV-18.
In this webinar you will:
- Learn about HPV type-specific testing
- Explore the recent trends in HPV diagnostics
- Discover urine-specific genotyping chemistry, which can provide a non-invasive, sensitive method for HPV detection
