CO-TESTING FOR THE SCREENING OF CERVICAL CANCER
In INDIA
- Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer in women aged 15 to 44 years
- About 122,844 new cervical cancer cases are diagnosed annually
- 5% of women in general population harbour HPV-16/18 infection
Therefore for women aged 30 to 65, Leading Health Organisations such as ACOG, ACS, ASCP & ASCCP recommend LBC+HPV together (co-testing) as the preferred approach for cervical cancer screening.
Suburban Diagnostics offers the universally recommended approach of co-testing LBC+HPV with a Difference
PAPSURE (Liquid Based Cytology)
- Screening test to detect cervical cancer and precancerous conditions
- Cell enrichment process separates and removes blood, mucus and other cells, reducing the risk of missed diagnosis
- Faster turnaround time
- Unsatisfactory rates have decreased from 0.98% in conventional smears to 0.24% in Sure Path Laboratories. (Multicentre large studies by various laboratories)
- Same sample can be used for HPV test
HPV DNA Detection & Genotype
- Detect 40 HPV types involved in causing precancerous lesions and cervical cancer
- Detects all 14 High Risk (HR) types and other Low Risk (LR) types
- HR types: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 or 68 HPV 16/18 is the most carcinogenic
- HPV genotype and accounts for 75 – 85% of all cervical cancers
- Approximately 10 other HR HPV genotypes cause the remaining 15 – 25% of cervical cancers
