To quantify the association between time to colposcopy and risk of subsequent cervical cancer....
A longitudinal analysis of patients aged 21-79 years with an abnormal cervical cancer test result from health care systems in Texas, Massachusetts, and Washington was performed. The outcome was a cerv...
Of 17,541 patients, 53.3% of patients received colposcopy within 3 months, 22.2% received colposcopy in 3-12 months, and 24.6% had no colposcopy within 12 months. One hundred forty-seven patients were...
There was no difference in cervical cancer risk at more than 1 year between patients who received colposcopy within 3 months compared with those who received colposcopy within 3-12 months of an abnorm...
Following the publication of the European consensus statement on standards for essential colposcopy in 2020, the need for standards relating to more complex and challenging colposcopy practice was rec...
To provide expert guidance on complex colposcopy cases through published evidence and expert consensus....
Members of the EFC and ESGO formed a working group to identify topics considered to be the remit of the expert rather than the standard colposcopy service. These were presented at the EFC satellite me...
The agreed standards included colposcopy in pregnancy and post-menopause, investigation and management of glandular abnormalities, persistent high-risk HPV+ with normal/low-grade cytology, colposcopy ...
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 is associated with a high degree of progression to cervical cancer. Its risk is markedly reduced after excisional treatment. Hence, it is critical that providers a...
Learners were obstetrics and gynecology residents. Guidelines on performance of colposcopy and LEEP were presented prior to module participation. We used pelvic task trainers, kielbasa sausages, and r...
Modules were held in November 2021 and May 2022. Thirty-four residents participated. Mean comfort scores significantly increased from 3.1 to 4.3 (...
Simulation-based modules on performance of colposcopy and LEEP significantly increased resident learner comfort in the performance of these procedures. Comfort in performing these procedures is import...
To assess whether electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as an adjunctive technology enhances the performance of colposcopy....
Prospective cohort study....
University Hospital colposcopy clinic....
Colposcopy with EIS for 647 women and conventional colposcopy for 962 women....
Comparison of the performance of colposcopy by referral cervical cytology in two cohorts, with and without EIS as an adjunctive technology....
Prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+), diagnostic testing accuracy to detect CIN2+ with and without EIS and their relative differences between cohorts....
The prevalence of CIN2+ varied between the cohorts according to referral cytology: 17.0% after abnormal squamous cells of unknown significance referral cytology in EIS cohort and 9.1% in the reference...
Colposcopy with EIS had overall higher sensitivity but lower specificity to detect CIN2+ than conventional colposcopy. CIN2+ prevalence rates were, however, not consistently higher in the EIS cohort, ...
Colposcopy is a cornerstone of cervical cancer prevention; however, there is a global shortage of colposcopists. It is challenging to train a sufficient number of colposcopists through in-person metho...
This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of DECO (an online Digital Education Tool for Colposcopy) on trainees' colposcopy competencies and confidence....
DECO can be used both on laptops and smartphones and comprises 4 training modules (image interpretation; terminology learning; video teaching; and collection of guidelines and typical cases) and 2 tes...
Among 402 participants recruited, 96.8% (n=389) completed pretesting, 84.1% (n=338) posttesting, and 75.1% (n=302) follow-up testing. Colposcopic competence and confidence increased across this study....
DECO is a useful, acceptable digital education tool that improves colposcopy competencies and confidence. DECO could make colposcopy training more efficient, scalable, and sustainable because there ar...
To investigate the prevalence of common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the association of STI/human papillomavirus co-infection in young and middle-aged women with previous abnormal cervic...
719 cervical-swab cytobrush specimens were obtained from women aged ≤ 50 years who were referred for colposcopy at Peking University First Hospital due to previous abnormal cervical findings. HPV 21 t...
The overall prevalence of STIs among HPV positive women with previous abnormal cervical cancer screening results was 63.7% (458/719), with Ureaplasma parvum serovar 3, Ureaplasma parvum serovar 6 and ...
The high prevalence of HPV coinfection with other sexually transmitted pathogens, particularly Ureaplasma parvum serovar 3, Ureaplasma parvum serovar 6, and herpes simplex virus type 2, calls for rout...
This guideline provides evidence-based guidance on the risk-based management of cervical dysplasia in the colposcopy setting in the context of primary HPV-based screening and HPV testing in colposcopy...
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of oral etoricoxib administration before colposcopic procedure for pain relief during and after colposcopy....
A prospective double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted at the colposcopy unit of Thammasat University Hospital, Thailand from August 2022 to January 2023. The participants were women un...
One hundred and ten women were recruited and were divided equally into study and control groups. The mean age of participants was 42.6 years old. One-fourth of cases (29/110) had cervical intraepithel...
Administration of oral etoricoxib 30 minutes before colposcopy could reduce pain during and up to 24-hour post colposcopy with minimal side effects....
Screening plays a key role in secondary prevention of cervical cancer. High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing, a highly sensitive test but with limited specificity, has become the gold standar...
Hence, PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies that assessed methylation in hrHPV-positive women in cervical scrapes. Histologically confirmed HSIL was used as endpoint and QU...
Twenty-three studies were included in this meta-analysis, from which cohort and referral population-based studies corresponded to nearly 65%. Most of the women analyzed were Dutch, and CADM1, FAM19A4,...
This meta-analysis confirmed the great potential of DNA methylation-based biomarkers as triage tool for hrHPV-positive women in cervical cancer screening. Standardization and improved validation are, ...
Cervical cancer screening results that are negative for cytology but positive for high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) are not uncommon. One-year follow-up is suggested for patients with no history...
A retrospective study was conducted in patients who were cytology negative but HR-HPV positive and referred for colposcopy from January 2022 to August 2023. Patients were compared in terms of the imme...
Among the 372 patients, 195 had chronic cervicitis, 131 had CIN1, 37 had CIN2/3, and nine had carcinoma. The immediate rates of CIN2 + lesions and CIN3 + lesions in patients who were not HR-HPV16/18-p...
In countries with limited resources, immediate colposcopy referral should be recommended for patients who are cytology negative but HR-HPV-positive (including non-16/18 HR-HPV-positive), and cervical ...
