HPV DNA Test (Genotyping)
HPV DNA test identifies infection with specific HPV genotypes before changes occur in the cells of the cervix. Early detection of HPV infection and high-risk HPV types can effectively prevent cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a grave threat to women’s health, ranking seventh most fatal cancer among women in Hong Kong. In 2017, 150 women died from the disease, accounting for 2.6% of all female cancer deaths. In recent years, the prevalence of cervical cancer among young women has been increasing, with a cervical cancer patient diagnosed at the age of 19. It is evident that cervical cancer is still a threat to women today and should not be ignored.
