Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide, being high-risk group the HPV infected, the leading etiological factor. The raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) has been associated with tumor progression and metastasis in several human neoplasms, however its role on cervical cancer is unclear. In the present study, 259 uterine cervix tissues, including cervicitis, cervical intraepithelial ...
We thank Dr. Alda Wakamatsu, Dr. Venâncio Avancini and Dr. Alexandre Ab'Saber from Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo, for technical assistance and selection of tissues samples, and João Simão Pereira Sobrinho for help in protein sample processing. ; Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women worldwide. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types, principally HPV16 and 18 is the main ...

Objective. This cross-sectional study was intended to assess the association between immunohistochemical analysis of p16INK4A and fragile histidine triad (FHIT) and the presence of precancerous cervical lesions. Materials and Methods. Women seen at Pe´ rola Byington Hospital, São Paulo, Brazil, with histologically confirmed cervicitis (n = 31), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 (n = 30), CIN 2,3 (n = 3...
This study was designed to evaluate whether Hybrid Capture II (HC2) test alone refer women to colposcopy as appropriately as DNA Papanicolaou (Pap) test, in the context of a high-risk group of women using the recently validated DNACitoliq LBC system. Women with suspected cervical disease were included in this crosssectional study at a tertiary center in São Paulo, Brazil, for further workup. All women had cervi...
As alterações citológicas de significado indeterminado representam uma importante limitação diagnóstica nos programas de escrutíneo de lesões cérvico-vaginais. A introdução de métodos biomoleculares, como o sistema de captura híbrida para detecção de HPV de alto risco contribui para a otimização da conduta clínica dessas pacientes, indicando colposcopia com precisão. Objetivo: avaliar o significado de lesões de...
This study was designed to analyze the cross-sectional comparison of the p16 INK4A and Ki-67 immunocytochemical expression in negative and equivocal (atyp-ical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US)) liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples testing positive for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types with HC2 assay or polymerase-chain reaction (PCR). A series of 199 consecutive LBC speci-mens derive...
Objective. To compare the performances of Papanicolaou test (PapTest) and of a new liquid-based cytology method, DNA-CitoliqR System (DCS), in a high-risk population, with histology confirmation. Methods. Paired specimens of exfoliated cervical cells were collected under split-sample protocol. All patients were submitted to colposcopy and a biopsy taken when any atypical transformation zone was seen. Sensitivit...
