The gut microbiota may play a role in breast cancer etiology by regulating hormonal, metabolic and immunologic pathways. We investigated associations of fecal bacteria with nonmalignant disease case-control study conducted Ghana, country rising incidence mortality. To do this, we sequenced the V4 region 16S rRNA gene to characterize samples collected at time biopsy (N = 379 cases, N 102 414 population-based controls). estimated alpha diversity (observed amplicon sequence variants [ASVs],...

Abstract Background The causal role of high-risk Human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in the pathogenesis anogenital cancers is well established. In contrast, information on HR-HPV distribution continuous anatomic sites within female genital tract limited, and impact sample type clinical performance HPV-based cervical cancer screening warrants investigation. Methods A total 2,646 Chinese women were enrolled study from May 2006 to April 2007. We analyzed infection features by status pathological...

This study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test in cervical cancer screening China. A hospital-based was conducted with mRNA, DNA, and liquid-based cytology (LBC) as primary tests. Each woman a positive result received colposcopy lesion-targeted-biopsy. Histopathological diagnosis used gold standard. The total agreement DNA 90.7% (95%CI: 87.9, 92.9) kappa value 0.81. rates LBC increased severity histopathology diagnosis, from 25.5, 19.1, 11.4% normal 100.0% SCC,...

We assessed relationship between periodontal a large prospective cohort study. The Sister Study followed women without prior ages 35 to 74 years from 2003 2017 (N = 49,968). Baseline was self-reported, incident ascertained over mean follow-up of 9.3 years. estimated hazard ratios (HR) 95% confidence intervals...

Safer, more convenient methods for cervical sample collection and storage are necessary to facilitate human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing in low-resource settings. Our study aimed evaluate the stability of specimens collected with dry swabs stored dry, compared liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples, as detected by HPV testing. Women abnormal cytological findings or HPV-positive results at colposcopy were recruited from West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, between...
