Note: In accordance with criteria established by CLIA, Pap tests will be referred for pathologist review if laboratory personnel suspect:

• Reactive or reparative cellular changes

• Atypical squamous or glandular cells of undetermined significance

• Cells in the premalignant or malignant category

In these cases, LabCorp will charge for the associated service. (Slides that are routinely reviewed by a pathologist for quality control purposes are not included.)

Test Details


Use

Diagnose primary or metastatic neoplasm. The HPV test specifically identifies types HPV16 and HPV18 while concurrently detecting the rest of the high-risk types 31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,66, and 68, without further specific differentiation.


Limitations

Failure to obtain adequate ectocervical, endocervical, or vaginal cell population is suboptimal for evaluation. Excessive use of lubricating jelly on the vaginal speculum will interfere with cytologic examination and may lead to unsatisfactory Pap results.

Detection of high-risk HPV is dependent on the number of copies present in the specimen and may be affected by specimen collection methods, patient factors, stage of infection and the presence of interfering substances.


Methodology

Image-guided liquid-based Pap test; nucleic acid amplification (NAA; for HPV)
