Microendoscopy in vivo for the pathological diagnosis of cervical precancerous lesions and early cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cancer is an important public health problem. Conventional colposcopy is inefficient in the diagnosis of cervical lesions and massive biopsies result in trauma. There is an urgent need for a new clinical strategy to triage women with abnormal cervical screening results immediately and effectively. In this study, the high-resolution microendoscopy combined with methylene blue cell staining technology was used to perform real-time in vivo imaging of the cervix for the first time.

Methods

A total of 41 patients were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent routine colposcopy and cervical biopsy, and high-resolution images of methylene blue-stained cervical lesions were obtained in vivo using microendoscopy. The cell morphological features of benign and
