ABSTRACT

Simultaneous detection of dual-biomarker p-16 and Ki-67 immunocytology provides a strong indicator of the presence of transforming Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Co-expression of p16 and Ki-67 in the same cell is strongly associated with established high-grade cervical diseases.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION RESULT SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL DISCUSSION ACKNOWLEDGMENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST REFERENCES

The goal of HPV-based cervical cancer screening is to avoid misdiagnosis and the over- or under- treatment it causes. While Pap cytology has had a positive impact on HPV infection and cervical cancer screening over the past 50 years, it is resource-intensive and subject to misinterpretation and missed disease.
