HPV DNA 16 genotypes (14 high-oncogenic and 2 low-oncogenic) qualitative

HPV infections are among the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Of the several hundred existing types of the virus, most cause harmless, spontaneously resolving infections or the presence of so-called condylomata.

The virus is also known as "condylomata"

However, a dozen of them, show highly oncogenic activity, that is, increasing the risk of cancerous lesions. HPV types 16 and 18, which are most commonly detected in Polish patients, are responsible for about 70% of all cases of cervical cancer.

The HPV viruses endowed with high oncogenic potential lead to the development of dysplastic lesions (CIN) and are mainly detected in cervical cancer cells (more than 90%). Persistent infection with any of the highly oncogenic HPV types poses a high risk of cancer. The most oncogenic type of the virus is HPV16, which is collectively responsible for about 55-60% of all cases of cervical cancer.

The most common genotypes in the population are HPV types 6 and 11. These lesions can appear weeks or months after contact with an infected person. Treatment is lengthy and, unfortunately, often has to be repeated due to recurrences.
