One sample. One lab. One report.

One sample. One lab. One report.
NW Pathology now offers comprehensive, in-house Women’s Health testing and reporting.
Beginning August 2012, HPV testing will be performed in our Bellingham lab. This change will reduce turnaround time
and paperwork for referring providers and allow us to provide improved quality and service for these vital women’s
health indicators.
HPV and CT/NG testing can be performed on one ThinPrep specimen – no additional patient sample is needed. Results will
be provided in one comprehensive report that will include Pap, cytologic examination, HPV, and CT/NG results (if ordered).
Northwest Pathology, PS
NWP employs imager
assistance, which has
increased sensitivity for
detecting abnormal cells

The pap smear is a screening test and should not be used as the sole means of detecting cervical cancer. Both false-positives and falsenegatives can occur. Infection by High-Risk HPV (Types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68) may be associated with
precancerous lesions or cancer of the cervix. This test was performed at NWP utilizing amplification of target DNA by FDA-approved Roche
Cobas platform.
