We compared the performance of the Whole, Turret and Step techniques of 100% rapid rescreening (RR) in detection of falsenegatives in cervical cytology. We tested RR performance with cytologists trained and among those without training. We revised 1,000 consecutive slides from women participating in an ongoing international screening trial. Two teams of experienced cytologists performed the RR techniques: one t...
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...
The present study was designed to further assess the validity of the cytological description of morphological lesions said to be related to Papillomavirus (HPV) infections in senior women. The casuistic comprised 196 cervical smears from a group of women with no clinical or morphological evidence of neoplasia, collected simultaneously with samples submitted to detection of HPV DNA by PCR in a previous study. Th...
