EPITHELIAL PROLIFERATION RATE IN THE CERVIX OF WOMEN UNDERGOING CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING WITH HIGH-RISK HPV INFECTION AND NEGATIVE CYTOLOGY RESULTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To determine the rate of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in women screened for cervical cancer with high-risk HPV infection and negative cytology and abnormal colposcopy at Au Co Hospital. Method: The study reports a series of 57 cases of women screened for cervical cancer with positive high-risk HPV results, abnormal cytology and abnormal colposcopy at Au Co Hospital during the study period from January 2017 to March 2024. Results: The rate of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in women positive for high-risk HPV but negative cytology and abnormal colposcopy was 73.7% (95% CI: 60.3-84.5). Of which, high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2+) accounted for 31.6% and there were no cases of cervical cancer. Conclusion: Long-term observation is needed to clearly see the relationship between HPV exposure time and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
