UNLABELLED AIM OF THIS STUDY was to examine the frequency of cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial lesions of a different degree in women, corelation between cytologically diagnosed CIN I, CIN II and CIN III lesions and colposcopic findings and corelation between cytologic and pathohistologic findings of CIN III lesion. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cytologic and colposcopic findings have been ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the reproductive health of military women. This study sought to determine women Veterans' competing risk factors, including life span sexual assault (LSA) exposures, associated with recent and lifetime cervical cytologic abnormalities. METHODS This cross-sectional study of a retrospective cohort of 999 Midwestern Veterans (enrolled in the VA) included computer...

this study has been designed to compare visual inspection of cervix with acetic acid (via test) with cytology as an accepted method for screening of cervical carcinoma and its precursors. 1200 eligible women were examined by both pap-smear and via tests in imam khomeini hospital, a referral general hospital in tehran, iran. those who had abnormal results in one or both of the screening tests (n...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is increased in HIV infection. The UK National Health Service Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP) guidelines therefore provide specific recommendations for HIV-positive women. An audit of cervical surveillance in HIV-positive women who attend the genitourinary medicine (GUM) department at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leic...

The National Health Service (NHS) cervical-screening programme has recently produced guidelines specifically for HIV-positive women. This includes annual cervical cytology screening and colposcopy to follow national guidelines. The case notes of all women attending Sheffield genitourinary clinic were audited. Of the 46 notes available, there was no documentation that annual screening has been o...

Twenty two patients referred to a district colposcopy clinic because of an abnormal cervical cytology report or a suspicious cervix and found to have a cervical epithelial abnormality were studied. The techniques of cytology, histology, immunohistochemistry, and DNA-DNA hybridisation were used to detect infection by human papillomavirus. Using an indirect immunoalkaline phosphatase technique hu...

The epidemiology on human papillomavirus (HPV) among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women in Korea is not well established. A retrospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV infection among HIV-infected women in Korea. HPV DNA genotype and cervical cytology were examined in 60 HIV-positive women and 1,938 HIV-negative women. HPV genoty...

BACKGROUND Female immigration in Catalonia, Spain, increased dramatically in the last 10 years. The Public Health system in the Region, provides a free of charge opportunistic cervical cancer screening. AIM This study examines cervical cancer screening coverage and prevalence of cytology abnormalities in Catalonia by immigration status. METHODS The study analyzes the cytologies registered a...

Although anal cancers are up to four times more common in women than men, little is known about the natural history of anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and HPV-related anal lesions in women. This study reports on the prevalence of and risks for anal cytological abnormalities over a 1-year period in a cohort of young women participating in a study of the natural history of cervical HPV...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse (≥CIN3) and cost-effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping with reflex liquid-based cytology (LBC) for cervical cancer screening in Singapore. MATERIALS AND METHODS Women who were ≥25 years old and undertook co-testing with LBC and HPV-genotyping (Cobas-4800, Roche, US...
