BackgroundDNA- and mRNA-based assays are the main tools used for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) nucleic acid in clinical samples. A recent tool, NucliSENS EasyQ HPV, uses a new concept to directly detect the expression of HPV oncogenic factors (E6 and E7) from the most prevalent HPV genotypes in cervical cancer (16, 18, 31, 33 and 45).ObjectivesThe primary aim of the study is to assess the accuracy of NucliSENS EasyQ HPV in detecting high-risk (HR) HPV in a population of atypical cells of undetermined...
