JAKARTA - Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by infections from the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) virus which is transmitted through sexual intercourse. Cervical cancer is a cancer that develops in the cervix with the 2nd highest prevalence in Indonesia.

A total of 95% of cervical cancer is caused by persistent infections from Human Papillomavirus (HPV). There are more than 100 types of HPV classified into high and low risk HPV. However, 70% of cases of cervical cancer are caused by HIV types 16 and 18.

Early detection of cervical cancer will help doctors to provide treatment as soon as possible, so that treatment results are even better. Therefore, it is better to detect cervical cancer from an early age which is very important.

"The highest prevalence disease is in Indonesia. The cases are up to 30 thousand in a year. We are active and care about women-related diseases", said Richard, Managing Director of PT Diagnos Laboratory Utama Tbk when met in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta on Friday, October 18, 2024.

An examination for early detection of Cervical Cancer-causing agents could use Urin samples with CerviGene, which is a revolutionary HPV virus examination.

"CerviGene this product has a new innovation by taking samples," said cap Richard.

Using urine sample-based molecular technology, CerviGene provides a convenient alternative to conventional methods such as Pap Smear, at affordable prices.

With affordable prices, reaching only 50% of conventional methods in the market examination, Cervigene is expected to be a more convenient and efficient early detection solution for millions of women in Jakarta.
