Introduction/Background The pathological changes at different severity stages of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) can give rise to the differences in electrical properties tissues, which lay foundation for screening CIN using non-invasive and cost-effective technique bioimpedance as well paves way easy availability screening, especially developing countries thereby reduction oc...

OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated indications' validity of cervicoscopic and microcolposcopic examination in LSIL patients with unsatisfactory or negative colposcopy. MATERIAL AND METHODS [corrected] In the cervico-vaginal pathology unit of the "San Giovanni Calibita Fatebenefratelli" University of Rome "Tor Vergata", 119 patients with a positive cervical cytology (LSIL), were submitted t...

We analyzed the management and risk of subsequent cervical intraepithelial neoplasm 3 (CIN3) and invasive cervical cancer in women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) cytology. A total of 53,293 women with a new diagnosis of cytologic LSIL were identified in Taiwan's national cervical screening registration database. Based on the retrieved clinical management data, the inciden...

OBJECTIVE To compare the performances of Papanicolaou test (PapTest) and of a new liquid-based cytology method, DNA-Citoliq System (DCS), in a high-risk population, with histology confirmation. METHODS Paired specimens of exfoliated cervical cells were collected under split-sample protocol. All patients were submitted to colposcopy and a biopsy taken when any atypical transformation zone was ...

We have designed a five-year multicentre prospective cohort study in women who are both human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive with either atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) of cervix. This study aimed to analyze the risk of developing a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) from either ASCUS or LSIL in HPV-p...

This study aimed to evaluate the performance and cost of using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybrid capture in the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in patients with cytological abnormalities (ASCUS/lowgrade squamous intraepithelial lesion – LSIL), and the feasibility of implementing these methods in Brazil’s Unified National Health System (SUS). Colposcopy gave a nega...

We used cytohistologic correlation to determine the clinical significance of atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high grade (ASC-H) in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. A computer search identified 250 Papanicolaou smears from women older than 45 years with a diagnosis of ASC- H. Cases were considered perimenopausal (45 to < 55 years; 150 cases) and postmenopausal ((3)55 years; 100 c...

Aim: The present study is intended to detect the significance of epithelial cell abnormalities (ECA) identified during cervical smear screening and correlate it with clinical findings. Materials and Methods: Detailed clinical data and pap smear cytology was obtained of 1000 patients attending obstetrics and gynaecology O.P.D between 2014 -2015 with various gynecological problems . All the smear...

Background: Cervical carcinoma is the third most common cancer in women worldwide and firth cause of related deaths. Human Papilloma virus, cervical cancer, causes functional inactivation pRb, resulting overexpression p16INK4a. The p16INK4a correlates well with degree dysplasia neoplasia. present study done to determine IHC expression so that it may be used as a biomarker for HPV play role prev...
