Abstract
Liquid-based thin layer cytology (TCT) and HR-HPV detection are the most important screening methods for cervical cancer. These two methods have limited sensitivity and specificity, so some cervical lesions are still missed or misdiagnosed. This paper mainly discusses the value of P16 protein detection in cervical cancer screening. In particular, it is effective and practical in high-grade squamous epithelial and above cervical lesions (CINII+). In this retrospective study, the diagnostic specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of P16 protein detection for cervical CINII+ lesions were significantly higher than that of TCT and HR-HPV detection, and the accuracy was the highest. P16 protein detection can also reduce the rate of missed diagnoses in HR-HPV-negative patients and reduce unnecessary colposcopic biopsies. Our data highlight the feasibility and significance of P16 protein detection in cervical disease screening.
期刊介绍:
Diagnostic Cytopathology is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of information in the field of cytopathology, with special emphasis on the practical, clinical aspects of the discipline. The editors invite original scientific articles, as well as special review articles, feature articles, and letters to the editor, from laboratory professionals engaged in the practice of cytopathology. Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the basis of scientific merit, practical significance, and suitability for publication in a journal dedicated to this discipline. Original articles can be considered only with the understanding that they have never been published before and that they have not been submitted for simultaneous review to another publication.
