Comparison of urine and cervical samples for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) with the Cobas 4800 HPV test

Highlights • Molecular methods are already used routinely to detect HPV infections. • They have greater sensitivity than cytology in detecting precancerous lesions. • Use of urine could be increasing the acceptance of the screening procedures.
