High prevalence of <scp>HPV16</scp> and high‐grade cytology in women undergoing active surveillance for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2

Abstract

The high prevalence of HPV16 and high-grade cytology imply that these women may be perceived as a high-risk population and non-eligible for active surveillance in countries outside Denmark. Future studies should investigate the importance of HPV, age, cytology, and expert review on risk of progression to help refine criteria for active surveillance.
