Possibly carcinogenic HPV subtypes are a cause of HSIL and negative clinical HPV tests - A European prospective single center study.

CONCLUSIONS: Possibly carcinogenic HPV subtypes not included in the clinical HPV tests may account for the small gap of missed HSIL in clinical HPV screening. True HPV negative HSIL are exceedingly rare. Expanding HPV testing to include more possibly carcinogenic HPV subtypes may further reduce cervical cancer.
