HPV 16,18,45 Detail

The HPV 16, 18, 45 test is a molecular diagnostic test (typically done by PCR or DNA hybridization) that identifies the presence of high-risk genotypes of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – specifically types 16, 18, and 45 – in cervical or genital samples.

These three HPV types are considered high-risk oncogenic strains, meaning they have a strong association with:

• Cervical cancer

• Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)

• Other anogenital cancers (vaginal, vulvar, anal, and penile)

• Oropharyngeal cancers
