The HPV Individually Typed High-Risk DNA Subtypes test is a diagnostic test used to detect and identify specific high-risk subtypes of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) known to be associated with a higher risk of developing certain cancers, particularly cervical cancer. The test is important because it provides precise identification of high-risk HPV subtypes, which is crucial for cancer screening, prevention, and management. It helps in early detection of precancerous changes, guides clinical decisions, informs public health strategies, supports personalized patient care, and contributes to overall cancer prevention efforts.
