Welcome to Mayo Medical Laboratories' Hot Topics. These presentations provide short discussion of current topics and may be helpful to you in your practice. Our presenter for this program is Dr. Michael Henry, Director of the Cytology Laboratory in the Division of Anatomic Pathology at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Henry will review the current guidelines for the appropriate use of human papillomavirus (HPV) tests.
