Objective: This study assessed the prevalence and factors associated with detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (CIN2+) via endocervical curettage (ECC) during colposcopy.

Methods: Between December 2020 and September 2023, a prospective, cross-sectional study involving women with abnormal cervical cancer screening results who underwent colposcopy was conducted. ECC was performed via a Kevorkian endocervical curette following colposcopy-directed biopsy.

Objective: To compare attitudes toward self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing before and after specimen collection in women undergoing colposcopy. The factors associated with the pre-sampling attitude were also studied.

Methods: This prospective study enrolled women with abnormal cervical cytology and/or positive high-risk HPV who attended colposcopy clinics at 10 cancer centers in Thailand between October 2021 and May 2022.

Background And Objectives: The objective of this study is to establish the detection rate of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsies and to determine the sensitivity and false-negative rate of SLN biopsies compared with those of systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomies in endometrial cancer.

Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled patients with endometrial cancer who were scheduled for surgical staging. Patients with a history of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, an abnormal liver function test, or an allergy to indocyanine green (ICG) were excluded.

Purpose: To investigate factors predicting postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) by combined analysis of clinical features, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) value, and hCG ratios.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients with histopathologically proven molar pregnancy. Patients lost to follow-up before remission or developing postmolar GTN were excluded.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) cytology and the immediate risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (CIN2+) lesions.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study enrolled women aged ≥21 years that were diagnosed with LSIL cytology at Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand) during 2017-2019. Anyplex II HPV testing was performed to detect 14 high-risk HPV cases prior to colposcopy-directed biopsy.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the real-world effectiveness of bi- or quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines in Thai adult women ≥5 years post-vaccination in reducing HPV 16/18-associated low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or worse (LSIL+), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or worse (ASC-US+), and HPV 16/18 positivity.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among Thai women aged 20-45 years in Bangkok. The vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were matched according to baseline years.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at women who had a type of cervical disease called CIN2 or 3 to see how many had a lower level of disease (CIN1 or less) after a treatment called LEEP.
  • Out of 210 women, only data from 196 were used, and 32 of them (16.3%) were found to have CIN1 or less after the treatment.
  • The main finding is that having CIN2 from a biopsy was a strong risk factor for finding CIN1 or less after the LEEP procedure.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of abnormal cervical cytology, as diagnosed using a liquid-based cytology technique, in pregnant women attending the Antenatal Care (ANC) clinic at Siriraj Hospital.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 655 first-visit pregnant women who attended ANC clinic at Siriraj Hospital during June to November 2015 study period. After receiving routine antenatal care, cervical cytology screening was performed with the Siriraj liquid-based cytology technique.

Aim: To evaluate the agreement between colposcopic diagnosis and cervical pathology a retrospective chart review was performed.

Materials And Methods: This study included 437 patients who underwent colposcopy and cervical biopsy or conization at Siriraj Hospital from October 2010 - December 2012. The patient clinical characteristics, cervical cytology results, colposcopic diagnoses, cervical pathology results were recorded and correlations between variables were analyzed.

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to analyse retrospectively the data of a series of patients presenting to our unit with malignant mixed mullerian tumour (MMMT) of the ovary to identify the prognostic factors and relate them to survival. The role of platinum-based chemotherapy in the adjuvant treatment of this tumour was also evaluated.

Methods: All patients diagnosed with MMMT of the ovary from 1987 to 2000 were identified from the gynaecological tumour registry of King George V Hospital, Australia.
