Follow-up with histopathology and HPV testing on LSIL cytology in China's largest academic woman's hospital.

Although its reporting rate is lower than that of LBC, CPS is useful due to its low cost and comparable predictive value. HPV testing is helpful for stratifying postmenopausal women with LSIL into lower and higher risk groups. HPV-16 is the most commonly identified genotype in CIN-2+ lesions diagnosed in Chinese women with LSIL cytology, whereas HPV-18 is the most commonly identified genotype in patients with CIN-1 lesions.
