Out-reach Colposcopy Clinics and HPV Self-Sampling Decreases Loss to Follow up in a Community based Cervical Cancer Screening Programme.

Objective: To introduce HPV self-sampling and out-reach colposcopy clinic as interventions to improve the follow-up of HPV positive women in a community based cervical cancer screening programme.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted during October 2017 to August 2019 and 2977 women underwent cervical cancer screening using CareHPV test. Follow up colposcopy for HPV positive women were conducted at the rural health center and alternatively as out-reach clinics in their own villages and default rates were compared.

Ubiquitous Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM): Potential Mechanism and Valorisation in Cancer Pathophysiology, Drug Targeting and Molecular Transductions.

Neural cell adhesion molecule, an integrated molecule of immunoglobulin protein superfamily involved in cell-cell adhesion, undergoes various structural modifications through numerous temporal-spatial regulations that generously alter their expressions on cell surfaces. These varied expression patterns are mostly envisioned in the morphogenesis and innervations of different human organs and systems. The considerable role of NCAM in neurite growth, brain development and etc.
