Colposcopy accuracy in diagnosing cervical precancerous lesions in western Kazakhstan.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective cohort study focused on colposcopic accuracy for the diagnosis of cervical premalignant lesions using cytology and histology, as well as HPV data not included in current cervical screening practices in Kazakhstan. Colposcopy performance was assessed using the modified Reid index in women aged 18-63 years. In total, 1,129 colposcopic-HPV-cytology triple samples and 94 histology findings were collected. The sensitivity of colposcopy was 81.6% with specificity 72.6% for LSIL but fell to 56.6% with specificity 88.3% for CIN2+ vs. 89.6% and 74.5% for cytology at CIN2+, respectively. The ORs for high-grade lesion occurrence within each colposcopy group at viral load rising vs. ORs for HPV-negative women were 3.4; 5.3; and 39.7, respectively (p < 0.0001). Total attributive agreement between the colposcopy and histology findings reached 55.3%, ? 0.47 ± 0.06 vs. 0.62 ± 0.08 for cytology, and 0.34 ± 0.13 and 0.58 ± 0.1, for specialists, respectively. Outcomes obtained for colposcopy alone failed to show satisfactory reliability. Globally adopted primary HPV screening would be the best option despite the related costs.

Project description:BackgroundColposcopy serves as a subjective examination of the cervix with low sensitivity to detect cervical intraepithelial dysplasia (CIN) grade 2 or worse (CIN2 +). Dynamic spectral imaging (DSI) colposcopy has been developed to provide an objective element to cervix examinations and has been proven to increase sensitivity of detecting CIN2 + . We aimed to assess the performance of the DSI color map and compared it to histological diagnoses of cervical biopsies in determining the CIN grade present.MethodsWomen were included in a consecutive, prospective manner at Randers Regional Hospital, Denmark. Women were eligible to participate if they were referred for colposcopy due to abnormal cervical smear (threshold: ≥ ASCUS) or follow-up after previously diagnosed CIN. All women had four biopsies taken, one directed by colposcopists alone prior to viewing the DSI color map, one directed by the worst color on the respective DSI color map, and two additional biopsies. All biopsies were analyzed separately. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values (NPVs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsA total of 800 women were recruited. Of these, 529 (66.1%) were eligible for inclusion. The sensitivity of the DSI color map was found to be 48.1% (95% CI 41.1-55.1) in finding CIN grade 2 or worse (CIN2 +) when compared to the histological diagnosis of the DSI directed biopsy. This was 42.5% (95% CI 36.7-48.5) when compared to the final histological diagnosis of all four cervical biopsies and with an NPV of 53.5% (95% CI 50.5-56.5).ConclusionThe worst color indicated by the DSI map might not consistently reflect the true grade of cervical dysplasia present. Thus, even though the DSI color map indicates low-grade changes, colposcopists should still consider taking biopsies from the area as high-grade changes might be present.Trial registrationNCT04249856, January 31 2020 (retrospectively registered).

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To screen potential plasma protein biomarkers for the progression of cervical precancerous lesions into cervical carcinoma and analyze their functions. METHODS:Plasma samples obtained from healthy control subjects, patients with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), cervical cancer (CC), and patients with CC after treatment were enriched for low-abundance proteins for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. The MS data of the samples were analyzed using Discoverer 2.2 software, and the differential proteins (peptide coverage ≥20%, unique peptides≥2) were screened by comparison of LSIL, HSIL and CC groups against the control group followed by verification using target proteomics technology. Protein function enrichment and coexpression analyses were carried out to explore the role of the differentially expressed proteins as potential biomarkers and their pathological mechanisms. RESULTS:Compared with the control group, both LSIL group and HSIL group showed 9 differential proteins; 5 differentially expressed proteins were identified in CC group. The proteins ORM2 and HPR showed obvious differential expressions in LSIL and HSIL groups compared with the control group, and could serve as potential biomarkers for the progression of cervical carcinoma. The expression of F9 increased consistently with the lesion progression from LSIL to HSIL and CC, suggesting its value as a potential biomarker for the progression of cervical cancer. CFI and AFM protein levels were obviously decreased in treated patients with CC compared with the patients before treatment, indicating their predictive value for the therapeutic efficacy. Protein function enrichment analysis showed that all these differentially expressed proteins were associated with the complement system and the coagulation cascades pathway. CONCLUSIONS:We identified 5 new protein biomarkers (F9, CFI, AFM, HPR, and ORM2) for cervical precancerous lesions and for prognostic evaluation of CC, and combined detection of these biomarkers may help in the evaluation of the development and progression of CC and also in improving the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of cervical lesions.
