Prevalence of HPV-16/18 genotypes and immediate histopathologic correlation results in a Chinese population with negative cytology and positive high-risk HPV testing.

This is by far the largest routine clinical practice report of HPV-16/18 genotyping and histopathologic examination in negative-cytology women and the first report of such an investigation in the Chinese population. This study indicates enhanced risk stratification with HPV-16/18 genotype testing in HPV-positive, cytology-negative women in the Chinese population.
