What is the Role of Viral Load in HPV and Cervical Cancer?
HPV is a significant concern in gynecology due to its link to cervical cancer. Viral load plays a crucial role in the progression of HPV-related diseases:
Persistent High Viral Load: Associated with a higher risk of developing cervical dysplasia and cancer. Screening and Monitoring: Women with high-risk HPV types and high viral loads are closely monitored through regular Pap smears and HPV DNA testing. Vaccination:HPV vaccines can help prevent infections with high-risk types, thereby reducing viral load and the risk of cervical cancer.
