Distribution of HPV genotypes and comparison of cervico-vaginal cytologies in PCR-detected HPV-positive patients: a retrospective observational study
The results indicate the requirement for age-optimized screening, ongoing genotype surveillance, and successful HPV vaccination programs. Cervical cancer represents a major health burden although it is largely preventable through vaccination. These findings highlight the urgent need for genotype-specific surveillance and reinforce the importance of implementing comprehensive HPV vaccination programs in Türkiye.
