Digene's DNAwithPap Test is the only test for high-risk types of HPV approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The study appeared in the April issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
"This is one of the most comprehensive studies to examine the cost-effectiveness of Digene's high-risk HPV test as part of routine cervical cancer screening," said Evan Jones, chairman and CEO of Digene.
