High-risk HPV platforms and test of cure: should specific HPV platforms more suited to screening in a 'test of cure' scenario be recommended?
As far as we are aware, this is the first study reporting potential differences between different HPV platforms currently available in the English programme. The immediate impact of this increase in rates of hrHPV detection with cobas4800 is an increased number of colposcopy referrals to our service. The NHSCSP needs to assess whether this increase is acceptable and, if not, whether specific HPV platforms more suited to screening in a ToC scenario should be recommended.
