Prevalence and age-related trends of high-risk Human Papillomavirus genomes in Ecuadorian women: a comprehensive cross-sectional study
The study provides a more nuanced understanding of HPV prevalence in Ecuador, indicating that HPV rates are lower than previous national studies but higher than global estimates. The results lay essential groundwork for targeted public health interventions and suggest the need for future research to address methodological limitations.
