Standing together against cervical cancer

Too many women die from cervical cancer – a disease that is preventable through HPV vaccination and screening. We are proud to be a dedicated, longtime contributor in the fight against cervical cancer, offering a diverse portfolio of screening solutions that addresses a range of clinical needs and laboratory settings.

Despite the notable achievements of global HPV vaccination and screening programs, cervical cancer continues to be a leading killer of women. In fact, it is the fourth most frequent cancer among women worldwide, with 85% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries where screening is not readily available (1). But even countries with robust prevention programs are not free from the threat of cervical cancer, with mothers, daughters, sisters and friends being diagnosed every day.

One of the most effective tools we have in the fight against cervical cancer is HPV screening. While HPV is incredibly common, it usually resolves on its own without intervention and before causing any problems. However, more persistent cases may cause changes to the cervix and potentially progress to cervical cancer if not identified and managed appropriately.

We are your trusted partner in the fight against cervical cancer, offering:

  • Technologies designed to address varying laboratory needs
  • Sample type flexibility to support screening efforts in diverse cultural contexts and resource settings, including the first commercially available self-sampling option for molecular assays
  • Reliable and accurate testing solutions to guide clinical decisions and next steps
  • A portfolio of HPV tests, including the gold standard digene HC2 HPV Test, that are validated by international guidelines
Together in the quest to eradicate cervical cancer

QIAsure Methylation Test

Following an HPV-positive result, the QIAsure Methylation Test provides additional molecular insights to aid in evaluating patient management options by accurately identifying women with markers associated with the highest short-term risk for cervical cancer.

QIAscreen HPV PCR Test

QIAscreen combines QIAGEN’s leading sample prep excellence from QIAsymphony and Rotor-Gene Q MDx with our expertise in HPV diagnostics. This molecular test provides genotyping of the 15 high-risk HPV types and detects the highly conserved E7 region in the HPV genome.

Our portfolio is designed for use in a variety of clinical and laboratory settings, to enable access to cervical cancer screening for women everywhere.
