Objective: To compare the sensitivity and specificity of DNA ploidy with cytology, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and colposcopy in diagnosis of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and to assess the role of aneuploidy in cervical lesions with the worst prognosis. A prospective observational cohort study was conducted on 254 women with altered colpocytology.
Methods: Colposcopy, biopsy, DNA-ICM and HPV examinations were applied to cervical cytological and histological samples.
Objective: Evaluate the performance of different DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM) ploidy parameters in the categorisation of DNA-ICM results and identification of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or worse (≥ CIN2).
Methods: Cervical samples from 232 women were collected for DNA-ICM analysis and biopsy confirmation. Five DNA parameters were used to define DNA aneuploidy: number of cells with exceeding events (EE) over 2.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM) status for identifying high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or worse (≥CIN2).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in women undergoing follow-up procedure after a previous abnormal cervical cytology. Cervical cells were collected for HPV detection and DNA ploidy measurement.
