Study of cervical biopsy over a decade at a tertiary level hospital, Nepal
TLDR
The histopathological findings of cervical biopsy includingcervical polypectomy and hysterectomy specimens at Dhulikhel Hospital from January 2008 to December 2018 are useful in updating thehistopathological pattern of cervicalBiopsy.Abstract:
Cervical carcinoma is the most common gynecological malignancy and almost curable cancer, if identifiedat an early stage. Cervical biopsy remains the ‘gold standard’ for the diagnosis of precancerous cervicallesion. The objective of this study was to review the histopathological findings of cervical biopsy includingcervical polypectomy and hysterectomy specimens at Dhulikhel Hospital from January 2008 to December2018. Out of 2098 cases, almost half of the cases (49.3%) were of Brahmin/Chhetri castes. There weresignificant differences in mean ages among hysterectomy cases (47.55±9.26), cervical biopsy cases(43.08±11.50) and polypectomy cases (33.59±12.47) (p value < 0.005). Out of 925 cervical specimens (cervicalbiopsy and polypectomy), colposcopy and hysteroscopy were performed in 18.2% and 12.7%, respectively.Out of 1173 hysterectomies, there were 110 cases (9.4%) of malignancies and cervical cancer was the mostcommon (67, 60.9%). The mean age of cervical cancer patients was 52.87±11.94 years. Cervical cancerdetected in age group of 40 – 59 years was significantly high (p value < 0.005). Incidence of cervical cancerwas lowest in Brahmin/Chhetris (2.4%) compared to Newars (3.4%) and other Janajatis (12.8%) and thedifference was statistically significant (p value < 0.005). The findings of thisstudy is useful in updating thehistopathological pattern of cervical biopsies.

TL;DR: A retrospective review of PAP smears in Dhiraj General Hospital in the period from May 2015 to September 2016 found the PAP smear has overall sensitivity of 86.04%, specificity 42.85%, positive predictive value 90.24 %, negative predictive value 33.33 % and accuracy 80% in detecting low/high grade lesions and malignancy.

The cervical cancer epidemic that screening has prevented in the UK.
TL;DR: C cervical screening has prevented an epidemic that would have killed about one in 65 of all British women born since 1950 and culminated in about 6000 deaths per year in this country, at a cost per life saved of about pound 36000.

TL;DR: A major finding was the consistently higher sensitivity but equal specificity of VILI compared with VIA, and some caution is warranted in the interpretation of observed accuracy measures, since a certain degree of gold standard misclassification cannot be excluded.

Epidemiology of cervical cancer with special focus on India
TL;DR: This paper attempts to review the available knowledge regarding the epidemiology and pattern of cervical cancer; types of HPV prevalent among cervical cancer patients and among women in general, high-risk groups such as commercial sex workers, and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-positive women; and the role of the national program on cancer in control efforts.

TL;DR: The 2012 national recommendations for cervical cancer screening will produce a lower level of cervical cancer protection than previously afforded by annual cytology or 3-year cotesting, despite the recognition of potential harms associated with more intensive screening.
