identified areas of concern with the DYSIS mapping, which would have been overlooked with the naked eye. The standardization of the entire process gives me reassurance that there is enough acetic acid applied and enough time passed during the exam to get the best results. My patients are also...
The results of the repeat smears obtained prior to colposcopy were compared with those of colposcopically directed biopsies and of follow-up. The repeat smear was negative in 99 patients; it disclosed squamous atypia in 84, CIN 1 in 64 and CIN 2 or 3 in 26. Thirty-two patients whose ...
"With this auxiliary diagnostic system, doctors can upload electronic colposcopy images and obtain results within tens of seconds.." Prof. Qiao said. "The system is not only able to help doctors diagnose cervical cancer, but it can also use algorithms to streamline cervical biopsies and thus red...
Results The HPV prevalence rate in the 1606 women screened was 8.5%. The sensitivity of HPV 16,18 genotyping, VIA and colposcopy to predict CIN2+ was 82.1%, 71.43% and 96.43%, respectively. The specificity was 13.04% (95% CI 6.93% to 21.68%) for HPV 16,18; 43.48% (33.17% to 54.22...
Our results found that CIN2+ lesions can be accurately diagnosed through static images using the Swede score. We also found that this method was as at least as effective as that achieved in a live assessment (AUC live = 0.69 and AUC static 0.71, p = 0.63). A strength of the...
Colposcopy is usually performed after suspicious Papanicolaou (Pap) test results or when suspected lesions cannot be visualized fully by the naked eye. The procedure is useful for identifying areas of cellular dysplasia and diagnosing cervical cancer because it provides the best view of the suspicious...
According to the study of Nessa et al, the Swede score colposcopic scoring system identified significantly more CIN II and higher lesions than smear results and provided more accurate screening and selection for immediate treatment of the cervical lesions in low-resource settings.19 In addition, Nes...
The new screening method results in a large group of HPV-positive women with NILM cytology [1]. In case of hr HPV persis- tence, women are referred to colposcopy for further assess- ment. The immediate risk of CIN II + in this specific group ranges from 4 to 15% in women aged ...
Results Of 520 women with negative or low-grade biopsy, 124 women (23.8%) had CIN2+ in follow-up biopsy. The sensitivity and specificity of the HPV mRNA test were 89.1% (95% CI, 80.1–98.1) and 92.5% (95% CI, 88.2–96.7), respectively. The ratios of sensitivity, specificity and ...
In a low-risk population, no more than 5% of Papanicolaou test results should feature ASCUS. With 55 million women undergoing this screening annually, more than 3 million ASCUS readings are possible. As many as 40-60% of women with ASCUS findings on Papanicolaou tests have negative results for...
