Cervical Cancer (Early Detection)

Our overarching goal is to adapt and test the PINPOINT intervention -PatIent Navigation for the Prevention of CervIcal CaNcer inTervention. We will test the PINPOINT intervention among patients with high-risk profiles for cervical cancer who do not meet the recommended screening for cervical cancer.

This prospective, multicenter cohort study will recruit eligible HPV16/18-positive women from three tertiary hospitals in China. Peripheral blood samples and clinical data (cytology, HPV genotyping, colposcopy-directed biopsy) will be collected, followed by standardized mass cytometry (CyTOF) to develop and evaluate an immune model across cervical lesion grades.

This project will compare the uptake of cervical cancer screening through ED HPV sampling among patients presenting to the ED.

The EQUIP Study is testing whether high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV), the virus that causes most cervical cancers, can be accurately detected from menstrual blood collected at home. People who have been referred for colposcopy after an abnormal Pap or hrHPV test will use the Q-Pad Kit during their period to collect menstrual samples on a special menstrual pad and mail them to a central laboratory for hrHPV testing. The same participants will have a standard cervical sample collected for routine hrHPV testing and will undergo colposcopy as part of their usual care. By comparing hrHPV results from menstrual samples with results from cervical samples and biopsy findings, the study will evaluate how well the Q-Pad hrHPV Test System detects cervical precancer and will also assess how easy and acceptable it is for participants to use this at-home collection method.
