Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“HPV genotyping provides essential risk stratification; however, it must be correlated with cytology and colposcopy findings. A negative test does not completely rule out the presence of pre‑cancerous lesions. Always discuss your results with a qualified genetics specialist for comprehensive management.”
— Ms. Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA: 9294403)
