Application of two methods of high-risk HPV detection in early screening of uterine cervical cancer / 中国肿瘤临床

ABSTRACT

Objective:This study aims to select the more suitable testing method for early screening of uterine cervical cancer to protect susceptible populations. Application value was compared between the two methods of high-risk HPV detection in early screening of uterine cervical cancer. Methods:The two methods, namely, fluorescence quantitation polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and HC2-HPV-DNA, were used to detect the infection status of 13 high-risk HPV types during women's health examination. The examined women were divided into four groups according to age (23 to 29 years old, 30 to 39 years old, 40 to 49 years old, and 50 to 58 years old). Statistical methods were applied to analyze the results. Results:The detected positive rates by fluorescence quantitation PCR and HC2-HPV-DNA were 15.93%(140/879) and 11.83%(104/879), respectively, among the 879 examined women. The common positive and negative rates were 9.56%(84/879) and 81.80%(719/879), respectively. The results of the two methods showed that the infection positive rate was obviously higher in the 40 to 49 year old and 50 to 58 year old groups. Statistical difference was observed between fluorescence quantitation PCR and HC2-HPV-DNA in detecting high-risk HPV types (P40 years old who are at high risk of HPV, to prevent uterine cervical cancer efficiently.
