BACKGROUND Cervical cancer risks, estimated by using cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) or more severe diagnoses (≥CIN3) endpoints, have not been quantified for different combinations of results from currently approved screening methods. Understanding these risks will guide optimal patient management. METHODS Women aged ≥25 years (n = 7,823) underwent high-risk human papillomav...

Aim. Cervical cancer is one of the most common female malignancy with high mortality rates in developing countries. Our purpose is to present cervical cytologic abnormalities and the detection rate of epithelial abnormalities by cervical cytology (CC). Method. A total of 8972 conventional pap smear tests collected between August 2010 and August 2012 from Çankırı State Hospital were retrospectiv...

OBJECTIVES The aim of our study is the comparison of the results of conventional smear (CC) technique and liquidbased cytology (LBC) technique used as cervical cancer screening methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS The results of 47954 patients submitted to smear screening in our gynecology clinic between January 2008 and December 2014 have been studied. The smear results have been divided into two g...

Objective: The high number of smear tests has a workload on pathologists/cytopathologists, which raises the concern for quality diagnoses. application high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) analyses with PAP begun to contribute clinical practice. In this study, we aimed show effect hr-HPV analysis results via atypical squamous cell/squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC/SIL) ratio standards. Mat...

background: sex workers and hiv seropositive women are at high risk of abnormal cervical cytology. the objective of this study was to compare the cervical cytology among three groups of women: active sex workers, hiv-infected women, and general population in iran. methods: this was a cross-sectional study performed in hazrat zeinab, lavan clinics and drop in center (dic) in shiraz, iran. this s...

Introduction: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main risk factor related to cervical cancer, the third most frequent type of cancer in Brazilian women. Early identification of high-risk HPV types in the normal cervix, or cervix with premalignant lesions may help prevent the progression of these lesions to cancer. Objective: This study aimed to detect and genotype HPV in women with low-grade...

Background & Objective: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide with high mortality, necessitating quicker diagnostic methods. We wish to enhance th...

To clarify the distribution and relative risk of different human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in cervical preinvasive lesions, 1246 women with abnormal Papanicolaou smear including atypical squamous cell of unknown significance (ASCUS), atypical glandular cell of unknown significance (AGUS), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL...

Cervical cancer serves as a biologic and an epidemiologic model for anal carcinoma and its precursors. The current incidence of cervical cancer in the United States is approximately 8 cases per 100,000 people. The incidence of anal cancer in men who had sex with men (MSM) prior to the HIV epidemic was 35 per 100,000—an incidence rate similar to that of cervical cancer before routine Pap testing...
