- In the latest analysis, dual staining was shown to be as effective as Pap cytology at identifying cervical precancer, while at the same time, dramatically reducing the number of women sent to follow-up. The authors conclude that “dual staining can safely replace Pap cytology as a triage strategy for primary HPV screening.”

Jul 10, 2023 · Dual stain identifies abnormal cells through biomarker staining of cervical cells collected during routine cervical cancer screening. It uses two biomarkers – p16 and Ki-67 – that, when found together, signal changes at the cellular level that indicate a transforming HPV infection.
Mar 6, 2024 · Dual stain testing on Pap test samples identifies the presence of two proteins: p16 (brown) and Ki-67 (red). Cervical cancer is preventable through vaccination against human papillomavirus, screening, and clinical management of abnormal results.

Oct 11, 2018 · The test, called p16/Ki-67 dual stain, more accurately predicted whether an HPV-positive woman would go on to develop cervical precancer within five years, compared to a Pap test—the current standard for managing HPV-positive women.
Jun 25, 2020 · Dual-stain testing has emerged as a way to more accurately predict the chance that a woman with a positive HPV test has precancerous cervical changes. The test measures the presence of two proteins, p16 and Ki-67, in cervical samples.
