Abstract | |||
"""Primary HPV screening has a high sensitivity to detect cervical precancer, but lacks specificity. Triage markers that can detect who among HPV-positive women needs immediate colposcopy referral will be important for successful implementation of HPV-based cervical cancer screening studies. Within the Kaiser Permanente Northern California HMO, we will evaluate triage markers for HPV-positive women, such as p16/ki67.""" |
