HPV DNA Tissue Testing
Also known as: HPV DNA, HPV genotyping (not for Pap), human papillomavirus, HPV Tissue Testing
Use
This test is intended for qualitative detection and genotyping of human papillomavirus (HPV) from formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) solid tumor tissue. It detects low‑risk HPV types 6 and 11 (reported together as 6/11, as they cannot be distinguished) and high‑risk types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, and 58, aiding in identification of HPV type in tissue samples to inform diagnostic interpretation.
