Screening based on papillomavirus detection: too many false alarms.

Author(s) unavailable

Prescrire Int 19(108):178-9 (2010) PMID 20939456

Screening for highly oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) variants can detect more cases of severe dysplasia than the cervical smear test, but this advantage is offset by a higher frequency of false alarms and colposcopy procedures. In practice, this test has no proven value in the prevention of invasive cervical cancer or related deaths.

    We characterize here the P. vivax SUB1 enzyme and show that it displays a typical auto-processing pattern and apical localization in P. vivax merozoites. To search for small PvSUB1 inhibitors, we took advantage of the similarity of SUB1 with bacterial subtilisins and generated P. vivax SUB1 3D-model...
