The cost of treating cancer was found to be the largest contributor to
increased costs associated with screening with HPV-Alone*1

Why mRNA?

mRNA-based HPV screening assess the presence and activity of a high-risk HPV infection,2,3 while DNA-based HPV screening assesses the presence of a high-risk HPV infection.

24% Reduction in false positives4

mRNA-based screening provides the same excellent sensitivity as DNA-based screening, but offers increased specificity, which results in a 24% reduction in false positives.4 Combined with better sensitivity of the image-guided Pap test, this was the most influential factor in the incremental difference in cost savings in a recent clinical-economic modeling study.1
