Labassure’s HPV Screening Program integrates Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) with HPV DNA PCR testing to detect high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types associated with cervical cancer. This dual-modality testing enhances early detection, diagnostic accuracy, and clinical decision-making. Given the high burden of cervical cancer in India, where over 80% of cases present at an advanced stage and nearly 80,000 deaths occur annually, effective screening is critical. The program aligns with ICMR 2016 guidelines, which affirm that even a single round of HPV screening can significantly reduce cervical cancer severity and mortality.

  • Routine cervical cancer screening in women aged 25 years and above
  • Follow-up of abnormal Pap smear or LBC results
  • High-risk individuals, including those with early sexual activity or multiple partners
  • Women undergoing fertility evaluation or IVF
  • Post-treatment surveillance in cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cancer
  • High-risk HPV genotypes associated with cervical cancer
  • Cytological abnormalities in cervical epithelial cells (via LBC)
  • Identification of oncogenic transformation risk
  • Supports evaluation of persistent or asymptomatic HPV infections

The combined approach helps detect both cellular changes and the underlying viral cause, improving early diagnosis and reducing false negatives.

  • Cervical Samples
    • Cervical Scrapings (LBC Media)
    • Collected during gynecologic exam using a cervical brush or spatula
    • Volume: Adequate cellular material suspended in LBC medium
    • Container: Pre-filled Liquid-Based Cytology vial (e.g., SurePath or ThinPrep)
    • Transport: Room temperature; deliver within 24–48 hours
    • Important: Ensure proper sample mixing with preservative; do not centrifuge or freeze

Benefits of HPV Screening
  • Dual-Modality Testing: Combines cytology (LBC) and DNA-based detection for comprehensive evaluation
  • High Sensitivity & Specificity: Detects HPV infections before visible cellular changes occur
  • Reduces Repeat Sampling: DNA extraction possible from the same LBC vial
  • Aligned with National Guidelines: Endorsed by ICMR and WHO for population-level cervical cancer screening
  • Supports Preventive Care: Enables timely treatment and long-term cancer prevention strategies
