Thin-Layer Cytology LBC + HPV14 (Genotyping of 14 High-Risk HPV Types)

Test Package:

The package consists of:

• Thin-Layer Cytology LBC (Liquid Based Cytology), a more modern and accurate technique for cytological examination.
• HPV14 – Identification of 14 genotypes of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

Simultaneous detection and genotyping of 14 different high-risk HPV genotypes associated with the development of cervical cancer.
The HPV genotypes tested include: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68.

Purpose of the Test:

Thin-layer cytology (LBC) combined with HPV testing is the best method for detecting precancerous changes and cervical cancer. The additional qualitative test covering 14 high-risk HPV genotypes detects the most common high-risk types. The test identifies cancerous cells among the epithelial cells of the cervical canal and ectocervix, as well as detects the genetic material of HPV in the patient's body and determines the genotype of the identified virus.

NOTE: The sample for this test must be collected by a gynecologist or a midwife.

Instructions for sampling are included in the package.
