Colposcopy was initially developed by Professor Hinselmann of Germany and is now a procedure that is recognized the world over. Twenty-two countries now represent the International Federation for Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy. Additionally, individual societies representing several countries exist.

Background: The current cervical cancer screening and diagnosis have limitations due to their subjectivity and lack of reproducibility. We describe the development of a deep learning (DL)-based diagnostic risk prediction model and evaluate its potential for clinical impact.
Method: We developed and internally validated a DL model which accommodates both clinical data and colposcopy images in predicting the patients CIN2+ status using a retrospective cohort of 6356 cases of LEEP-conization/cone-biopsy (gold-standard diagnosis) following an abnormal screening result.

Background Cervical cancer typically progresses over 10-20 years, making it a preventable disease and underscoring the importance of screening. In low-resource settings, Papanicolaou (Pap) smears and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) serve as primary screening tools. This study was conducted as part of the noncommunicable disease camps organized by the government of Karnataka, India.

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: We aimed to investigate the epidemiology of human papilloma virus (HPV)-related preneoplastic and neoplastic vulvar lesions in a large cohort of women living with HIV (WLWH).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively selected 1,796 WLWH who had a gynecological examination, cervical cytology, high-risk (HR-) HPV test, vulvoscopy, and colposcopy with targeted biopsies when necessary between 1987 and 2020 at 2 Italian institutions. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were carried out to test the association of the anamnestic and clinical data with the development of precancerous and cancerous lesions.
