Introduction:
Long-term infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the cause of cervical cancer and its precursor - cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The presence of HPV infection can be presumed in more than 99% of cases of cervical cancer worldwide. The introduction of DNA testing for the presence of HPV has increased the effectiveness of screening programs for the detection of this cancer. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of high risk HPV DNA (HR HPV) in females from Poland.
Material And Methods:
The study was performed on 280 cervical smear samples. In this work we used the Roche Cobas 4800 HPV test to detect the HR HPV in cervical smear samples.
Results:
56 patients (20%) proved to be positive regarding HPV-16 DNA and 40 patients (14.28%) regarding HPV-18 DNA. In overall assessment, in 94 patients (33.57%) we detected oncogenic HPV subtypes, other than the two mentioned above. In 90 patients (32.14%) no high risk HPV was detected.
Conclusions:
The Roche Cobas 4800 HPV test is a viable, effective, easy and quick tool in detecting high risk HPV DNA.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...

Sampling Plans
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
Sample Handling
Samples should be transported carefully from collection points to the laboratory. They should be properly sealed and clearly labeled to prevent cross-contamination. To preserve the sample integrity, optimal temperature conditions during transport are essential. This could involve using...
