Objective: To investigate the risk factors related to incomplete excision after loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in abnormal cervical cytology. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed during September 2010 to February 2017.

Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is one of the most common malignant neoplasms among women and remains the leading female malignancy in Thai women. Cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy remains a therapeutic challenge for physicians. Pregnant women should have cervical cytology screening at their first prenatal visit. In cases of cytological abnormality, colposcopy is indicated. Cervical co...

Background: Although cervical malignancy rate had grown up in recent years, primary cervical lymphoma is so rare. It must be high index of suspicious for primary cervical lymphoma diagnosis in patient with malignancy-like signs and symptoms for early detection. Primary cervical lymphoma has no standard treatment or follow-up protocol; so the management still is in doubt and based on previous ca...

BACKGROUND It is important to understand the specific HPV genotype distribution in screen-detected lesions. HPV Genotype is helpful for separating HPV-positive women at greater risk of cancer from those who can regress spontaneously and for preventing cervical cancer at early stage. The aim of this study was to investigate the high-risk HPV genotype distribution among cervical cytology abnormal...

Introduction and purposeThis article aims to compare two guiding methods of cervical cancer screening: cytology HPV testing. The objective is provide information on which method currently more relevant in the early detection precancerous lesions. 
 Material methodThis review was mainly based articles collected Pubmed i years 2015-2022. research done by looking through keywords as follows: ...

For nearly 50 years, the gynecologist’s mantra has been “Yearly Pap and Pelvic.”1 Yet, it remains unclear how the practice of annual cytology became a de facto standard in the United States, because there never has been an organized, national screening program. I suspect that the test became an annual ritual for many women as a result of the widespread use of oral contraceptives in the 1960s an...

INTRODUCTION Women presenting with unhealthy cervix needs to be evaluated with Papanicolaou (Pap) smear for epithelial abnormalities. AIM To detect epithelial cell abnormalities in unhealthy cervix using the 2001Bethesda system of reporting for cervical cytology and to confirm histopathologicaly the findings of Pap smear. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 125 women with clinical diagnosi...

OBJECTIVE To monitor the presence and persistence of high risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical brushings from HIV infected women. METHODS Prospective observational cohort study of HIV infected women. Women were enrolled from the cohort of 164 HIV infected women who attend the colposcopy clinic at the Edinburgh Regional Infectious Diseases Unit. A single cervical brush scrape was o...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the positive and negative predictive value in the diagnosis of premalignant and malignant lesions of cervical colposcopy, the sensitivity and specificity of smear, and to evaluate the correlation with histopathology of abnormal cytology and colposcopy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The criteria for inclusion of patients with unhealthy cervix in the study were: Eros...
