Methylated as a triage marker for occult cervical cancer and advanced cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

To explore the appropriate triage methods for women infected with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV). A total of 424 out of 872 hrHPV-infected women were divided into cervicitis (n = 123), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1; n = 89), CIN2 (n = 72), CIN3 (n = 87) and cervical cancer (n = 53) groups. The sensitivity/specificity of , and liquid-based cytology (LBC) for hrHPV-infected women with transformation zone 3 CIN3+ was 83.

The effect of high-risk HPV E6/E7 mRNA on the efficacy of topical photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid for cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.

Background: E6 and E7 high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) oncoproteins are closely associated with the initiation and progression of cervical cancer (CC) and pre-cancerous lesions. Cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), as pre-cancerous lesions, have a 5% chance of progressing to invasive cancer. Topical 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is a novel non-invasive targeted therapy for intraepithelial lesions.

Comparative study of topical 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) and surgery for the treatment of high-grade vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) and local surgical excision in the treatment of high-grade vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN).

Methods: This was a retrospective study of a single center. Patients with biopsy-proven high-grade VAIN were counseled on the option of excision or ALA-PDT.

Therapeutic effects of topical photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid on cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.

Background: Topical photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) is a non-invasive option for treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN). We investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of ALA-PDT in treatment of patients with cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and evaluated the factors that effect the efficacy of PDT.

Methods: A total of 99 patients (average age: 30 years (18-45 years old)) with cervical HSIL and high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (hr-HPV) infections and who had received ALA-PDT were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Long non-coding RNA ZFAS1 regulates cell proliferation and invasion in cervical cancer via the miR-190a-3p/KLF6 axis.
