Article Synopsis
- * Conducted in two steps, the research verifies optimum sample storage conditions and compares HPV test results from self-collected urine and vaginal samples with traditional clinician-collected cervical samples among 121 participants.
- * Results show that while urine samples had lower HPV detection rates, the testing methods exhibited varying degrees of concordance, with self-collected vaginal samples showing better agreement with cervical testing compared to urine.
Objective: Over the past decade, liquid-based cytology has replaced conventional cytology for cervical cancer screening in many countries, including Japan. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of liquid-based cytology using a large database and compare two major liquid-based cytology platforms, SurePath and ThinPrep, to conventional cytology.
Methods: Cervical cancer screening data were collected from the Japan Cancer Society between 2015 and 2019.
Purpose: The current study was designed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on general thoracic surgeries in Japan.
Methods: Changes in surgeries for lung cancer and metastatic lung tumors were evaluated based on National Clinical Database data regarding cancer screening.
Results: In 2021, surgeries for primary lung cancer increased by 3.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has rapidly and dramatically influenced healthcare across Japan. However, the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of newly diagnosed cancer, surgical treatment, and diagnostic examination for cancer types have not been completely investigated all over Japan. This study aimed to analyze the number of cases before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
