Background: Non-invasive treatments, such as 5-Aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT), has gained increasing attention among women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) who have fertility requirements. To compare the effectiveness of 5-ALA-PDT and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in patients with CIN2, we conducted this prospective cohort study in Chinese patients with CIN2.
Methods: 229 patients with CIN2 were enrolled.

Purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the major cause of (pre)malignant cervical lesions. We previously demonstrated that Vvax001, a replication-incompetent Semliki Forest virus (SFV) vaccine encoding HPV type 16 (HPV16) E6 and E7, induced potent anti-E6 and -E7 cytotoxic T-cell responses. Here, we investigated the clinical efficacy of Vvax001 in patients with HPV16-positive cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3).

Background: Cervical cytology screening and colposcopy play crucial roles in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer prevention. Previous studies have provided evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) has remarkable diagnostic accuracy in these procedures. With this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to examine the pooled accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of AI-assisted cervical cytology screening and colposcopy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer screening.

Background: Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV typing and cytology are conducted in women of appropriate age to assess the risk of cervical lesions and to guide the need for further diagnostic procedures such as colposcopy, cervical biopsy, or treatment. This article explores methods to predict the risks of high-grade precancerous cervical lesions based on high-risk HPV typing.

It is mostly performed by nurses in health centers. Innovative ways of improving the performance of VIA in HIV-infected women are desired.
