HPV and Pap Testing Market
HPV is an abbreviation for human papillomavirus, which is a family of more than 150 viruses. Each HPV and Pap Testing is assigned a number or a type. HPVs are attracted to only one type of cell, squamous epithelial cells, and the viruses can only live in these cells. Some human papillomaviruses cause non-cancerous tumours, while others cause cancer, including cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus, penis, and parts of the mouth and throat that are mostly made up of moist skin in the body. These HPVs are classified as mucosal because they infiltrate living cells on mucosal surfaces. Cervical cancer can be prevented by detecting and treating abnormal cells that develop in the cervix.
