Offers a hard-to-beat
value
Cost-Effective Solutions
Disease prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and
management – today, clinical laboratory testing is a fundamental
component at every stage of health care delivery. The breadth and
depth of this presence is underscored by the fact that lab tests
represent approximately 4 percent of health care spending in the
U.S., but infl uence more than 70 percent of health care decisions.
Clearly, laboratory testing has compelling solutions to offer those
who seek a more productive American health care system. Against
this economic scenario, LabCorp offers a unique value proposition,
thanks to ever-increasing operational leverage and effi ciency. These
fi nancial advantages, combined with our scientifi c leadership,
position us to offer our customers unmatched value – in terms of
their health and their dollars.
HPV and Cervical Cancer
Studies show that the human
papillomavirus (HPV) causes
99.7 percent of all cervical cancer
cases. Since early detection and
treatment can prevent the future
development of cervical cancer,
cost-effective Pap with HPV DNA
tests can prevent thousands of
dollars in cervical cancer treat-
ment costs and save lives. This
makes Pap with HPV DNA testing
one of health care’s best values.
