HPV Test as Test of Cure After Conization for CIN2+: A Nationwide Register-Based Cohort Study

Conclusions Using the HPV test at the first post-treatment control as TOC for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse after stratifying for resection margins in cone resections yields an equally high sensitivity and negative predictive value as cotesting with cytology. We suggest that women with free resection margins return to the routine screening program after negative HPV test result as TOC at 6 months.
