The HPV-DNA test is a specialized examination used to detect the DNA of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in the skin or mucous membranes. HPV can cause benign lesions, such as papillomas and warts, as well as more serious conditions, including precancerous lesions or cancers of the skin and genital areas.
At our dermatology clinic, the HPV-DNA test is utilized for the early diagnosis and monitoring of HPV infections, enabling personalized treatment options.
What the HPV-DNA Test Offers
Detection of High Risk HPV types:
- Identification of virus types associated with an increased risk of cancer development.
Personalised Treatment:
- Based on the risk level of the detected strain, the appropriate therapeutic approach is determined.
Monitoring of precancerous lesions:
- Early diagnosis of lesions that may lead to cancer, such as in cases of dysplasia.
Procedure of the HPV-DNA Test
Sample Collection:
- The sample is easily collected from the skin or mucous membranes of the affected area using a specialized tool or cotton swab.
Analysis:
- The sample is sent for molecular analysis to detect the presence of the virus's DNA and determine the HPV type.
Results:
- The results provide information about the virus type (low-risk or high-risk) and guide the treatment plan.
Advantages of the HPV-DNA Test
- Accuracy: A highly sensitive method for detecting the virus.
- Prevention: Contributes to early diagnosis and the prevention of serious complications.
- Personalized Treatment: Facilitates targeted and effective treatment based on the HPV type.
The HPV-DNA test is a key tool for monitoring and preventing serious dermatological conditions associated with HPV. At our dermatology clinic, the test is performed with expertise and complete discretion, ensuring the best possible care for your health.
