Prior PAP and HC2 HPV testing results of 5699 women with histologically diagnosed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3

ConclusionThis study demonstrates prior results of HPV testing and PAP cytology for patient with high grade cervical squamous precursor lesions in a population of women in China who had not undergone intensive prior screening. Both hrHPV and PAP cytology had similar negative testing rates for these women but double negative results were less common. These results support the value of co-testing in the detection of cervical cancer precursors.
