Grading the severity of cervical neoplasia based on combined histopathology, cytopathology, and HPV genotype distribution among 1,700 women referred to colposcopy in Oklahoma

Diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer precursors rely on colposcopic biopsy, which is sometimes [tampered by incorrect biopsy placement an the unclear prognostic value of poorly reproducible diagnoses such as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia WIN) Grade 1 and 2. Searching for discrete disease categories that incorporate the value or cytology and that reflect the causal role of particular HPV types, we analyzed histology, cytology and HPV genotype distributions in the Study to Understand Cervical Cancer Endpoints and Early Determinants (SUCCEED). This cross-sectional study comprises similar to 1,700 women referred to colposcopy or treatment for the spectrum of cervical disease, including 439 women with
