Article Synopsis
- Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major risk factor for cervical cancer, and optimizing HPV-based primary screening is crucial for detecting high-grade cervical lesions effectively.
- A real-world study involved 31,942 participants from November 2015 to December 2023, revealing a rising prevalence of high-risk HPV (hrHPV) types, with notable increases from 4.8% to 7.2% over the years.
- The study showed that repeated HPV testing leads to lower prevalence rates and higher sensitivity compared to cytology, with persistent hrHPV infection linked to a higher incidence of high-grade cervical lesions.
