Brief Summary:
This study compares the efficacy of cytology (Pap smear) with the molecular screening in their ability to detect reactive cellular changes in the cervix among an open population
Detailed Description:
The primary goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of the cytology (Pap smear) with the molecular screening -of three human biomarkers- in their ability to detect reactive cellular changes in the cervix among an open population. Participants will be asked to attend two study visits. All the clinical procedures will be done on the first visit:
1. Explanation of the study and its procedures. Only participants that give their written Informed Consent will be enrolled in the study.
2. Interview and physical examination to obtain a medical record. The interview will collect information related to known risks factors for cervical lesions.
3. Venipuncture to obtain a blood sample.
4. Colposcopy to obtain a cervical smear and a colposcopic diagnosis. The cervical smear will be used to perform liquid-based cytology and HPV detection.
5. Biopsy, only if the gynecologist detects a cervical lesion or another abnormality during colposcopy.
The gynecologist will make preliminary recommendations based on the colposcopic findings.
During the second visit the study's gynecologist will explain the tests' results and provide clinical recommendations to each participant.
The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of cytology, HPV detection, and molecular screening will be calculated using colposcopy (for all participants) and histopathology (for those biopsied). These results will be compared using a DeLong test. Correlation tests will be performed using risk factors data and test results.
