Article Synopsis
- Overexpression of HPV oncoproteins E6 and E7 is crucial for cervical cancer linked to HPV, making them potential biomarkers for the disease.
- The study evaluated the OncoE6/E7 test on cervical samples from HPV-positive women, showing variability in positivity rates between HIV-negative women and those living with HIV.
- Operators found the OncoE6/E7 test user-friendly, despite some concerns about its complexity, but caution is advised due to the test's variability and potential for false results, indicating a need for further refinements before widespread use.
