Single-layer cytology + HPV28 DNA with sample collection at a medical centre
Liquid-based cytology detects about 64% more high-risk lesions than conventional cytology and enables the early detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection – the virus that causes cervical cancer. Meanwhile, LBC with HPV-28 genotyping also makes it possible to determine the specific HPV type that can lead to cancer, making it easier to assess risk and increasing the chances of a complete cure.

LBC + HPV-28 Genotyping is a comprehensive screening test that combines the modern LBC method with expanded HPV genotyping, covering 28 types of the virus. This advanced approach allows doctors to accurately determine the type of infection and assess the risk of cervical cancer.
HPV types covered by the test:
- 19 high-risk types with higher oncogenic potential, i.e. indicating a high risk of developing cervical cancer: 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 69, 73, 82;
- 9 low-risk types with lower oncogenic potential, i.e. causing benign lesions, such as warts on the skin and mucosal surfaces (mainly genital warts, i.e. condylomata acuminata) or recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis: 6, 11, 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, 70.
By including both high- and low-risk HPVs, the test provides a more comprehensive assessment of the risk of developing cervical cancer and various non-malignant lesions. Meanwhile, liquid-based cytology ensures accurate sample collection and precise analysis of cellular material, minimising the risk of misdiagnosis.
Who is this test for?
The LBC + HPV-28 Genotyping test is particularly recommended for patients at risk of HPV infection, including women who:
- Became sexually active at an early age;
- Have had multiple partners;
- Smoke or have smoked;
- Use or have used hormonal contraception;
- Have a weakened immune system (due to HIV infection or certain medications);
- Have given birth more than once;
- Have genital herpes (caused by the HSV-2 virus);
- Have a family history of cancer. The test is also recommended for patients who want a detailed assessment of their health status with regard to HPV infections, neoplastic and dermatological lesions.
