LOINC description : Men who are at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases for HPV-related anal cancer
may be tested similar to a cervical Pap smear where the anal lining is swabbed and
cells examined microscopically. HPV DNA tests can also be performed on these samples
and similarly, positive results need to be followed up with further testing, including
a more thorough exam and possible biopsy. There are more than 118 different types
of HPV, and approximately 40 different HPVs that can infect the human anogenital mucosa.
However, only a subset of approximately 14 of these is considered high-risk for the
development of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. This term was created for,
but not limited in use to, the cobas HPV test kit which uses PCR and nucleic acid
hybridization for the detection of 14 high-risk types.;
