Abstract:
What's new? While the critical role of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in cervical cancer is well established, less is known about the cancer risk associated with individual HPV subtypes. Here the authors performed a large population‐based study including 40,000 Danish women. They show large differences in absolute risk for high‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN3+) development linked to persistent infection with 13 oncogenic HPV types. They suggest that these differences may inform clinical use of type‐specific HPV testing in the future.
