Cervical cancer screening - Why is it important?
>1 new cervical cancer cases per day in HK
Cervical cancer was the 7th commonest cancer among females in Hong Kong in 2020 - 556 new cases were diagnosed in total. It was also the 8th leading cause of female cancer deaths in Hong Kong according to data of 20213.
>95% of cervical cancer are due to the HPV
WHO stated that more than 95% of cervical cancer are due to the HPV. It takes 15 to 20 years for cervical cancer to develop in women with normal immune systems, and only 5 to 10 years in those with weakened immune systems1.
HPV tests recommended for first-line cervical screening
WHO recommends that HPV test is the most cost-effective technique for cervical screening. Detection of HPV infections that leads to cellular transformation followed by timely treatment can lower the risk of developing over 95% of cervical cancer1。
Starting from 2023, the Department of Health of Hong Kong also enhanced its cervical cancer screening services by replacing Pap smear tests with a higher sensitivity HPV test4.
High-risk HPV infections are usually asymptomatic
HPV infection can be easily transmitted through any intimate skin-to-skin contact, incl. vaginal–penile sex, penile–anal sex, penile–oral sex, vaginal–oral sex, and use of sex toys or other objects5.
感染高風險 HPV 及其引致的癌前病變甚少會引發病徵，女性一般會於持續感染後 15-20 年才會發展成子宮頸癌。因此，進行恆常 HPV 檢測作為子宮頸癌篩查尢其重要。
一些低風險 HPV 病毒屬於可能致癌的 2A 及 2B 類致癌物6; while some may cause genital warts on the prepuce, glans of the penis, urethral opening, anus, vulva, labia, vagina or cervix7.
HPV vaccine should be coupled with regular HPV screening
HPV vaccine is effective in preventing the targeted HPV types that most commonly cause cervical cancer and genital warts, but not all types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer8.
Also, HPV vaccine does not treat existing HPV infections, which is why regular HPV screening tests for cervical cancer are strongly recommended8.

80% of men & women will acquire HPV in their lifetime9
Detect 27 types of HPV at once
14 high-risk HPVs
Persistent infection with high-risk HPVs can lead to cervical, vaginal, vulvar and penile cancers etc.5
13 low-risk HPVs
Over 90% of the genital warts are associated with HPV-6 and HPV-11 infection10, which usually appear on the prepuce, glans of the penis, urethral opening, anus, vulva, labia, vagina or cervix7; while other low-risk HPVs are classified as Group 2A and 2B carcinogens - probably and possibly carcinogenic to humans6
Some groups are at a higher risk of infection!11

I am more aware of HPV since my sister's infection last year despite her vaccination. INDICAID is a convenient alternative to testing in hospital.

FAQs
INDICAID™妥析™ HPV 尿液樣本測試與柏氏抺片檢查屬於兩種不同的技術。
INDICAID™妥析™ HPV 尿液樣本測試主要檢測用家的尿液樣本中是否存有 HPV 病毒；而柏氏抺片則是由化驗所人員透過顯微鏡，檢視子宮頸細胞樣本有否出現異常，判斷子宮頸是否存在癌前病變。
If your HPV DNA test detects HPV from your sample, you may consider undergoing a Pap smear test to verify if there is any abnormalities with your cervical cells.
It is suitable for both men and women. It is reported that 80% of men and women will acquire HPV in their lifetime, everyone can transmit HPV to their partners. Therefore, it is recommended to get tested for HPV regularly to protect yourself and your partner9。
部分市場上的 HPV 測試產品要求自行於陰道內採樣，因此只適合女士使用。INDICAID™妥析™ HPV 尿液樣本測試是透過尿液樣本來檢測用家是否存有 HPV DNA，因此沒有性別限制，男女同時適用。
