Cervical precancerous lesions represented by cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia may progress to invasive cancer. The principle treatment of CIN is eradication of the transformation zone. However, all eradication methods are associated with some adverse events, particularly with perinatal consequences. It is therefore necessary to identify which women have CIN that has a low risk of transformation into invasive cancer. The presence of modifying factors can help to stratify CIN lesions according to their malignant potential. The evaluation of HPV genotype in particular holds great promise for defining patients at greater risk. Tailoring treatment to the individual patient is going to become a major consideration in the management of cervical precancerous lesions.

Cervical cancer remains a major global health concern, with a specially alarming incidence in younger women. Traditional detection techniques such as the Pap smear and colposcopy often lack sensitivity and specificity and are highly dependent on the experience of the gynaecologist. In response, this study proposes the use of Hyperspectral Imaging, a pioneering technology that combines traditional imaging with spectroscopy to provide detailed spatial and spectral information.

Background: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is the primary cause of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. Approximately 35% of women with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1) may experience persistence or progression to high-grade lesions. Yet, the dynamic characteristics of HR-HPV infection in women with CIN1 remain unclear.

Cervical cancer is one of the deadliest cancers that pose a significant threat to women's health. Early detection and treatment are commonly used methods to prevent cervical cancer. The use of pathological image analysis techniques for the automatic interpretation of cervical cells in pathological slides is a prominent area of research in the field of digital medicine.

The incidence rate of cervical cancer (CC) is three times greater in Southeast Asia (SEA), where screening tests are less common than in Northern America, underlining a need for convenient self-diagnostic methods. The expression pattern of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been considered a molecular tool for non-invasive cancer diagnosis and prognosis. This study aimed at the development of the first miRNA biomarker panel for early detection of CC in Thai women.
