Growing evidence has shown that aerobic glycolysis, as a hallmark of cancer cells, plays a crucial role in cervical cancer. The aim of the study is to uncover whether fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 2 (FBP2) is involved in cervical cancer progression via the aerobic glycolysis pathway. FBP2 levels were determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and western blotting. Cell growth viability and apoptosis were tested by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assays. Immunoprecipitation assay was applied for the detection of the FBP2 effect on pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2) ubiquitination. FBP2 level was decreased in cervical cancer, which is closely linked to shorter overall survival. FBP2 decreased cell growth and aerobic glycolysis and increased cell apoptosis, as well as decreased PKM2 expression and increased its ubiquitination level. The above-mentioned roles of FBP2 were weakened followed by PKM2 overexpression. FBP2 inhibited cervical cancer cell growth via inhibiting aerobic glycolysis by inducing PKM2 ubiquitination.

Cervical cancer is the leading cancer among women in Nepal, but the country has very low screening rate, with only 8.2% of women being screened. In recent years, a self-sampling kit for testing for the human papillomavirus (HPV) has been developed to allow self-sampling and enable early detection of cervical abnormalities.

Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis suspected of malignancy: A case report.

Rationale: Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis (TB), a rare form of tuberculosis outside the lungs, can affect any organ or tissue in the body. It is difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific symptoms, often leading to delayed confirmation after the initial patient visit. Clinical manifestations such as cervical lymphadenopathy and irregular mucosal surfaces can be challenging to distinguish from nasopharyngeal cancer or malignant lymphoma.

Objective: The Enduring Consensus Cervical Cancer Screening and Management Guidelines Committee developed recommendations for the use of extended genotyping results in cervical cancer prevention programs.

Methods: Risks of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse were calculated using data obtained with the Onclarity HPV Assay from large cohorts. Management recommendations were based on clinical action thresholds developed for the 2019 American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines.
