Abstract

LINEROS-HURTADO, Johana Andrea et al. Operational characteristics of molecular techniques used to detect human papillomavirus in the ESTAMPA project. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.3, pp.140-145.  Epub Nov 29, 2020. ISSN 0123-9015.  https://doi.org/10.35509/01239015.106.

The development and innovation of new technologies has improved the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus infection. Hybrid capture II is an assay that is based on hybridization and chemiluminescence. Cobas HPV Test is a qualitative PCR and Aptima HPV Assay allows to detect the expression of messenger RNA of the high- risk HPV E6 / E7 oncoproteins. These techniques have advantages, in comparison, with conventional cytology that is routinely used for the detection of cervical cancer. In the ESTAMPA study, 13,691 prosecutions were carried out that allowed to identify that for the planning of research projects or for the implementation of HPV screening tests, it is necessary to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of market tests.

Keywords : Human Papillomavirus; Papillomavirus Infections; Uterine Cervical Neoplasms; Human Papillomavirus DNA Tests.
