Improving Screening Triage in Older Postmenopausal HPV-screen-positive Women Aged 50-64 and Risk-stratification of Women Aged 23-64 After Excision
* To investigate the performance of cytology, extended genotyping, p16/Ki67 dual stain cytology, DNA methylation and viral load as triage markers in post-menopausal HPV-screen-positive women aged 50-64 years in the organized screening program to predict the risk of developing CIN2+. (work package 1) * To investigate the performance of cytology, extended genotyping, p16/Ki67 dual stain cytology, DNA methylation and viral load six months after cervical excision to predict the long-term risk of residual/recurrent CIN2+ lesions among women aged 23-64 (work-package 2)
• HPV-screen-positive (aged 50-64)
• Women who undergo test-of-cure (i.e. HPV and cytology) six months after LEEP in Central Denmark Region (aged 23-64)
• Women who undergo follow-up test (i.e. HPV and cytology) 12 months after LEEP
• A valid cytology-triage result (aged 23-64)
