Review of cervical cancer screening
6 May 2024Cervical cancer screening guidelines are undergoing revisions globally, with several European countries updating their protocols to incorporate human papillomavirus (HPV) testing starting at age 30 with a five-year interval, aligning with EU recommendations from 2015. Fujirebio highlights new technologies for screening and triage, including HPV genotyping, that are being evaluated to enhance the benefit-to-harm balance of screening programs. Improved risk stratification for HPV-positive women is essential to reduce unnecessary referrals for follow-up and treatment, with HPV genotyping offering insights into oncogenic risk associated with different genotypes.

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.

Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
