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.

The variations in the natural history of high-risk human papillomavirus infections in Chinese healthy women aged 27-45 years compared with 18-26 years: A prospective cohort study.

Int J Cancer

State Key Laboratory of Vaccines for Infectious Diseases, Xiang An Biomedicine Laboratory, School of Public Health, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian Province, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study followed 3,681 healthy women aged 18-45 for over 5 years to investigate HR-HPV infections and their outcomes, using regular cervical testing and colposcopy for abnormal results.
  • Data indicated that younger women (18-26 years) had a higher incidence of persistent HR-HPV infections and cervical lesions (CIN2+) than mid-adult women (27-45 years), suggesting age-related differences in risk.
  • Despite lower rates of infection and lesions in mid-adult women, they still face a significant risk of acquiring HR-HPV infections that could lead to cervical issues, highlighting the need for continued monitoring.

Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit, Department of Neuroscience, San Carlo Borromeo Hospital, ASST Santi Paolo e Carlo, Milan, Italy.

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.
