Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death in women, primarily caused by HPV, with socio-cultural barriers hindering screening in certain populations, such as indigenous communities.
- The study compared HPV detection in both urine and cervical samples, using a modified proteinase K method for urine sediment, to explore alternate screening methods.
- Results showed a 68.27% concordance for HPV positivity between samples, indicating that high-risk HPV detected in urine may suggest the presence or risk of developing squamous intraepithelial lesions.
