The use of endocervical curettage was evaluated in 200 patients undergoing colposcopy, biopsy, endocervical curettage, and conization. It is suggested that endocervical curettage be performed only in cases of satisfactory colposcopy, since patients with unsatisfactory colposcopy should undergo conization.

Objective: To explore the risk factors associated with the pathological progression to invasive carcinoma following the conization of cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and to construct a risk prediction model to guide preoperative risk assessment and optimize the selection of surgical approaches.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 3337 patients who underwent cervical conization for HSIL at Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from December 2016 to March 2022. The patients were categorized into the pathological progression group (398 cases) and the nonprogression group (2939 cases) based on postconization pathology results.

Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of endocervical curettage (ECC) in identifying additional cervical cancer and its precursors in women with atypical glandular cells (AGC) cytology.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records for women referred to colposcopy with AGC cytology between January 2019 and December 2023. The study included 433 women with AGC cytology who underwent both biopsy and ECC.

Objective: Endocervical curettage (ECC) is the gold standard for predicting the persistence of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) after cervical conization. However, ECC has a high rate of unsatisfactory samples and may be uncomfortable for women. Endocervical sampling with brush (ECB) has been proposed as an alternative to ECC, which, in addition to the cytological evaluation, allows performing HPV testing using the same sample.

Department of Pathology, Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital College of Clinical Medical for Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.

Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of endocervical curettage (ECC) in detecting additional high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or worse (HSIL+) in women infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18, which may be missed by biopsy alone.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzed the medical records of 4,811 women referred for colposcopy due to HPV16/18 infection from January 2019 to December 2023. Patients underwent both biopsy and ECC.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative human papillomavirus (IOP-HPV) testing for the prediction of postoperative treatment failure in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) undergoing loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP).

Methods: A total of 114 women diagnosed with HSIL by biopsy and/or endocervical curettage who underwent LEEP were included in a prospective cohort study. IOP-HPV testing was performed immediately after the procedure.
