HPV (High-Risk mRNA Types 16, 18 + Others)
The HPV High-Risk mRNA test detects active infection with high-risk types of Human Papillomavirus, including types 16 and 18, which are most strongly associated with cervical and other anogenital cancers.
Unlike DNA testing, mRNA testing identifies viral activity, meaning the virus is actively producing proteins linked to cell changes.
This test provides valuable information about whether a high-risk HPV infection is clinically significant and requires closer monitoring.
It is commonly used in cervical screening, follow-up of abnormal smear results, or when more detailed HPV assessment is required.
