Cervical cancer, a prevalent malignancy in the female reproductive tract, exhibits a high incidence. Existing evidence indicates a robust correlation between alterations in vaginal flora composition and the progression of cervical cancer. Nevertheless, there is a lack of clarity concerning the specific microorganisms within the vaginal microbiota that are linked to the onset and development of cervical cancer, as well as the mechanisms through which they exert carcinogenic effects.

Methods: A longitudinal cohort study on the natural history of HPV infection in rural Uyghur women in China was conducted between May 2013 and May 2014.
Background: Cervical cancer is a significant malignancy of the female reproductive system. This study aimed to investigate the functions of Erythrocyte Membrane Protein Band 4.1 Like 3 (EPB41L3) in cervical cancer and to explore its underlying mechanisms.

In this research, we aim to discuss the appropriate age for Uyghur women in Xinjiang to be screened for cervical cancer using careHPV.
Methods: Eleven thousand women aged 20-69 years old (mean age 38.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine an appropriate follow-up schedule for human papillomavirus (HPV) detection by evaluating the clearance time of HPV after treatment.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 97 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2-3) patients and 437 early invasive cervical cancer (CC) (stages Ia-IIa) patients who received radical surgery at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Patient medical information, including personal information, pathological diagnosis, HPV infection status, and therapeutic methods, was obtained through the hospital's historical medical records management system.
Background: Cervical cancer incidence and mortality is high in Uyghur ethnics. Their life style and dietary habit were different from other ethnics living together. Study on the role of trace elements in HPV infection and cervical lesion of Uyghur minority is needed for future intervention and prevention work.

Methods: Three high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) detection methods were studied on two different populations by different combination modes; a cytology specimen was obtained at the same time. An abnormal result of any test resulted in referral to colposcopy.
