METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WORLDWIDE SCREENING FOR HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS

摘要

The invention relates to in vitro methods of screening female human subjects for the presence of human papillo mavirus, for example as a marker of cervical epithelial precancer. In particular, the invention provides methods and apparatus which can be used to filter a patient data set of measurements related to multiple HPV types according to the geographical location of the patient under test, so that only those measurements of HPV types which are pre-determined to be relevant for the geographical region in which the patient under test is located are selected for output/display.
