Expression of Oncogenic Human Papillomavirus E6/E7 Protein in Tampon Self-Tests
Expression of Oncogenic Human Papillomavirus E6/E7 Protein in Tampon Self-Tests
The purpose of this study is to examine for HPV E6/E7 mRNA in tampon self-tests, and compare
 with the cytological and histological diagnoses.

 Study Hypothesis: Expression of HPV E6/E7 mRNA in Tampon self-tests are a suitable
 alternative to the routine cervical smear.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Women with cervical dysplasia been referred to conisation.

 -  Women invited to cervical screening program and with only normal smear and normal
 smears in their history.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Women not performing the tampon self-test before conisation.
