HPV16 positive, TCT normal, biopsy may also have a problem, but it is less likely to exist. Because TCT is a liquid-based thin-layer cell test, it is currently the easiest method used to screen for cervical cancer. However, it is still not comparable to the results of a pathology test after a biopsy.
Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a high-risk virus that can cause cervical inflammation, cervical lesions, etc. The TCT test only indicates that there is no major problem at the moment, but does not necessarily guarantee that there will be no problem in the future. In addition to this, the TCT test only scrubs the cells on the surface of the cervix, and cannot clarify whether there is any abnormality in some small lesions that have not been scratched.
At the same time, biopsy is similar, is the clinical doctor by observing the cervix indicates, the cervix indicates part of the tissue for pathological examination process. There is also the problem of incomplete sampling, so if the TCT is normal, the biopsy will not be too big a problem, but since the HPV infection, we should pay attention to regular review, according to the doctor’s guidance, the correct standardized treatment.
