Abstract
Aim: Cervical cancer is a type of genital cancer which come second after breast cancer in women and may cause death. However, it can be prevented with screening tests by ensuring early diagnosis. Most of cervical cancers (99.7%) are associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and it is known that HPV must be present for the generation of cervical cancer. Thus, 70% of the patients have been found to be positive for HPV-16 and HPV-18. Both the association with cervical cancer and HPV and data related to development of cancer and dysplasia was researched retrospectively in this study. It was aimed to analyze and use the results by examine if the smear results of the patients and the HPV results are compatible in all HPV positive cases. Material and Method: 1050 patients who were examined by gynecologist and taken Pap smear test at the end of the examination during July 2020 and March 2022, were included in our study. In all cases the Pap test was re-evaluated by the same pathologist using the 2014 Bethesda System. High-risk HPV (HR HPV) DNA (HPV types 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,66,68) tests results, applied to the patients at an external center, were reviewed. Results of patients diagnosed as LSIL, HSIL and cervical cancer by Pap smear test were evaluated again beside HPV DNA analyses and their clinical information. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. p
