Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. a surgical or medical circumstance that would place the patient at increased risk from the study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The positive percent agreement (PPA) of the antibody tests in relation to HPV16-positive tumours, as classified by mRNA detection in tumor tissue at the time of diagnosis, determined separately for Prevo-Check® and PT Monitor®. It shall be shown that the percentage positive agreement is significantly greater than 80%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The negative percent agreement (NPA) of the antibody tests in relation to HPV16-positive tumours, as classified by mRNA at the time of diagnosis, determined separately for Prevo-Check® and PT Monitor®. Positive and negative percent agreement with the mRNA detection is also calculated for the other methods (HPV DNA detection by PCR and histopathological staining for p16INK4a) and then compared with the results of Prevo-Check® and PT Monitor®. | — |
