Innovate to eliminate

No woman should die from a preventable disease like cervical cancer. That’s why we are driving paradigm-shifting advancements in cervical cancer testing to enable more women to get screened and access the most precise results while unlocking greater lab efficiency.

Eliminating cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer among women globally.3 It shouldn’t be.

4 out of 5 women will have Human papillomavirus (HPV) at one point in their lives5, and if left untreated causes cervical cancer.6 In order to make progress towards eliminating cervical cancer, we must address and overcome current obstacles to screening.

Limited access, past trauma and anxiety are some barriers keeping women from getting screened. Self-collection* offers a more private and accessible option that can increase screening rates.

  • 60% of all cervical cancers are diagnosed in underscreened women7
  • 81% of women want a less invasive HPV testing option8

Choosing a test with extended genotyping can meet the needs of both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients by stratifying high and low risk HPV types, helping enable precise care decisions.

  • HPV 16 and 18 infections have declined as much as 90% in vaccinated populations9
  • Non-vaccine HPV genotypes are increasing in prevalence in younger, vaccinated patients10

Using end-to-end and fully automated workflows, including integrated pre-analytics, improves accuracy, boosts operational efficiency and frees labs to focus on value-driven tasks.

  • Preanalytical errors account for up to 68% of all laboratory errors11
  • Manual tasks increase hands on time and susceptibility to human error

Progress starts here and now

Together, we can save more lives by vaccinating, screening and treating HPV early. BD is committed to supporting the World Health Organization’s mission of eliminating cervical cancer12 by setting the highest standards for testing.

Reference

*Self-collected vaginal specimens, obtained in a healthcare setting, can be tested as an alternative specimen type when cervical sampling is either contraindicated or cervical samples otherwise cannot be obtained.
The BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay is the only FDA-approved HPV test which provides the capability for individually genotyping six high-risk types and three genotype groups.
