Evaluation of p16/Ki-67 Dual-Stained Cytology in Triaging HPV-Positive Women during Cervical Cancer Screening

Abstract

This is one of the few studies that has evaluated the performance of dual-stained cytology for triaging HPV-positive women in China. The higher specificity and comparable sensitivity of dual-stained cytology in comparison with Pap cytology in the detection of CIN2+ or CIN3+ is of vital importance to developing countries, where Pap cytology faces many challenges.
