Objective: Cervical cancer is caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) a precancerous lesion. Common treatments for CIN are conization laser vaporization. HPV testing useful predicting residual or recurrent disease after surgical treatment. We performed high-risk (HR-HPV) genotyping postoperatively to examine the positivity rate determine whe...

BACKGROUND Normal and cancerous tissues have distinct auto-fluorescence properties because of differences in their biophysical and biochemical agents. Scientific evidences related to diagnostic fluorescence imaging for detection of oral precancerous and cancerous lesions are very limited. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to find out potential relationships between serum, salivary and tiss...

Women in developing countries disproportionately bear the burden of cervical cancer. The availability of prophylactic vaccines against human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18, which cause approximately 70% of cervical cancers, provides reason for optimism as roll-out begins with support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. However, for the hundreds of millions of women beyond the target age for ...

Cervical cancer is the second most common type of malignancy found in Thai women, only preceded by breast cancer (IARC 2015). Early detection of cervical cancer can decrease its incidence. Implementation of an effective organized screening in the target population is highly desirable by providing coverage of adequate screening intervals. It can also provide an effective and reliable means for i...

Cervical cancer is a prevalent and fatal disease that affects women all over the world. This roughly 0.5 million annually kills 0.3 people. Recently, significant amount of literature has emerged around advancement technologies for identifying cervical cells in women. Previously, diagnosing was done manually, which could lead to false positives or negatives. The best way interpreting Pap smear i...

BACKGROUND Previous studies found that topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is very effective for human oral precancerous lesions. METHODS This study evaluated whether topical photosan-mediated PDT (topical photosan-PDT), using a 640-nm light-emitting diode (LED) light, is an effective treatment modality for hamster buccal pouch precancerous lesions. Fourteen 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMB...
