CAUSES Of CERVICAL CANCER
"Virtually every cancer cell has an abnormal chromosome component, whereas virtually every normal cell has the normal diploid number."
An HPV infection is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the development of cervical cancer. In fact, 90% of HPV infections regress within 2 years1. This holds true in clinical practice as only a small number of infected patients progress to severe dysplasia.
DNA damage to chromosomal biomarkers 3q26 and 5p15 in HPV-infected cervical and dysplastic cells may be more predictive of the progression to disease .
The Cervical DNA Dtex Test identifies the irreversible DNA damage to cervical cells.
