Does TCT examination still need HPV?

At this stage, it is recommended to do cervical liquid-based cytology and HPV examination at the same time as cervical cancer screening. For patients with normal tct examination, it is recommended to do HPV examination together, because if HPV type 16 and type 18 positive patients, even if tct examination is normal, it is also recommended to do colposcopy and biopsy, and send the biopsy tissue to pathology. According to the pathological results, decide whether to need other treatment in the next step. Because HPV 16 and 18 positive women, if persistent infection is a high risk factor for cervical cancer, so in clinical need to cause high attention, so at this stage tct and HPV double test as cervical cancer screening.
