Background: The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation of mean platelet volume (MPV), MPV/ platelet count, and monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) between cervical cancer patients and healthy people and to evaluate the value of those parameters in early diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Methods: The study population included 137 cervical cancer patients undergoing hysterectomy and 113 healthy controls. The clinical features (age, pathology type, tumor staging, and tumor size) were collected from the hospital information system. The hematology parameters (white blood cell, red blood cell, hemoglobin, platelet count, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width) are obtained in the laboratory information system.

Results: We found that the monocyte count and MLR value are higher in the cervical cancer group. The MPV and MPV/platelet are lower in the cervical cancer group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis shows that MPV+MLR can generate a moderate specificity with 71.68%, sensitivity with 65.69%, and AUC with 0.718 to distinguish cervical cancer and healthy people.

Conclusions: MPV/platelet and MLR may be helpful for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer. A larger clinical data analysis is necessary to evaluate the diagnostic value of hematologic parameters in cervical cancer.

The efficacy of photodynamic treatment (PDT) against deep-seated tumor is hindered by low penetration depth of light as well as hypoxic conditions which prevails in tumor. To overcome this limitation, Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing photosensitizers have been investigated actively. In the present study we evaluated the PDT efficacy of an NIR absorbing chlorophyll derivative 'Cycloimide Purpurin-18 (CIPp-18)' in Human Breast carcinoma (MCF-7) and cervical adenocarcinoma (Hela) cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

Background: Vaccination against HPV is an effective strategy for the prevention of HPV infection and cervical cancer. Nevertheless, the HPV vaccine uptake rate is low among ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. This study sought to assess the feasibility and acceptability of motivational interviewing among South Asian mother-daughter dyads and to preliminarily examine its effects on knowledge of HPV infection and vaccination, health beliefs, intention to have the daughters vaccinated, and initiation and completion of HPV vaccine series.

Background: Cervical cancer is a major health burden in females worldwide, available studies indicated that sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) is closely related to the malignant phenotypes of multiple cancers including cervical cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms were blurred.

Experimental Procedures: A bioinformatics analysis was conducted to investigate the clinical correlation between SOX2 and cervical cancer.
