Background: Prevention of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection and effective medical intervention of persistent HPV infection and precancerous lesions are critical for the prevention of cervical cancer.

Aims: The aim of this retrospective comparative study was to evaluate the outcomes of ALA PDT and observation only in the management of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL).

Methods: In PDT Group (n = 138), ALA PDT was applied to patients with colposcopic biopsy confirmed cervical LSIL accompanied with HR-HPV infection longer than 1 year or HPV 16/18 subtype infection.

Article Synopsis
  • Portwine stains (PWS) are congenital birthmarks that require accurate area measurement for classification and treatment purposes.
  • This study investigated using 3D scanning combined with deep learning techniques to automate the quantification of PWS areas.
  • The results showed that the improved DeepLabV3+ model effectively extracted PWS lesions with high accuracy, demonstrating its potential for clinical applications in measuring these birthmarks.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a relatively new modality for the treatment of various precancerous mucosal lesions of the lower genital organs, including VaIN. Due to the special structure and location of the vagina, it is difficult to apply photosensitizer and light irradiation to VaIN lesions.
