  • Title: Comparison of HPV detection in parallel biopsies and cervical scrapes by PCR.
    Author: Ask E, Jenkins A, Kaern J, Trope C, Kristiansen BE.
    Journal: APMIS; 1992 Aug; 100(8):752-6. PubMed ID: 1325806.
    Abstract:
    PCR was used to detect HPV DNA in cervical scrapes of 23 women with cervical cancer. Compared with PCR-assisted HPV DNA detection in parallel biopsies, the sensitivity was 81% and the specificity 100%. We conclude that cervical scrapes can be used for detection of HPV DNA in women with cervical cancer.
