What are the Advantages of HPV DNA Testing Over Traditional Methods?
HPV DNA testing offers several advantages over traditional cytology-based methods:
Higher Sensitivity: HPV DNA tests are more sensitive in detecting high-risk HPV types compared to cytological screening. Early Detection: It can identify HPV infection before any cellular changes occur, allowing for earlier intervention. Longer Screening Intervals: Due to its high sensitivity, screening intervals can be extended, reducing the frequency of testing.
