Does HPV E6 E7 mean cancer?

It suggests a low risk of cervical cancer. A “detected” result indicates the presence of high-risk HPV E6/E7 mRNA and is suggestive of an increased risk of cervical cancer.

What is HPV mRNA test?

The mRNA test determines the presence of E6/E7 mRNA from 14 high-risk HPV genotypes. HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins mediate the development of cervical cancer. Their overexpression, which can be measured as E6/E7 messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts, is associated with a significantly increased risk of CIN and cervical cancer.

How common is HPV E6 E7?

The overall prevalence of HPV was 97%. HPV E6 and E7 transcripts were detected in 188 of 204 (92%) biopsy specimens, of which 181 contained one of the following HPV types: 16, 18, 31, 33, or 45. Consensus PCR and type-specific PCR detected HPV in 187 of 204 and 188 of 204 (92%) specimens, respectively.

Can a high risk HPV test be done at home?

This at-home test will screen for Human papillomavirus and confirm high-risk genotypes HPV 16 and HPV 18/45, which will give you insight into your risk of getting cervical cancer. We accept HSA/FSA payments. Your test results will tell you whether or not you test positive for high-risk genotypes of HPV.

Can a SurePath HPV test be done manually?

Treatment of all SurePath HPV triage and test of cure samples with Cobas Sample Prep Buffer is required. This must be performed manually due to insufficient sample for the P480 pre-analytical system. Treatment of all SurePath primary HPV samples with Cobas Sample Prep Buffer is required and can be performed on the Roche P480 pre-analytical system.
