Objective:To evaluate the clinical performance of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) genotyping in cervical cancer screening.Methods:Between June and July 2017, a prospective cervical cancer screening cohort was established in Xiaye Town, Jiyuan City, Henan Province, China by recruiting 3 254 women aged 21 to 64 years. At baseline screening, cervical exfoliated cell specimens were collected for HR-HPV genotyping and liquid-based cytology testing. Follow-ups were conducted over a 3-year period, with cytology testing in the first and second years and both HR-HPV genotyping and cytology testing in the third year. Women meeting the referral criteria were referred for colposcopy, with cervical biopsy and histopathological diagnosis performed as necessary. The endpoint was defined as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) or higher confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting CIN2 or higher lesions of HR-HPV genotyping were calculated, as well as the cumulative risk of developing CIN2 or higher lesions over the 4-year study period in women with different baseline HR-HPV genotyping results.Results:A total of 2 741 women were included in the statistical analysis. Baseline HR-HPV genotyping detected 453 HR-HPV positive cases (16.53%), including 98 HPV 16/18 positive cases (3.58%) and 355 other HR-HPV positive cases (12.95%). During the 4-year period, 83 cases of CIN2 or higher were diagnosed. The sensitivity and specificity of baseline HR-HPV positivity for CIN2 or higher were 89.16% (95% CI: 80.66%-94.19%) and 85.74% (95% CI: 84.36%-87.02%), respectively. The corresponding rates for HPV 16/18 positivity were 43.37% (95% CI: 33.24%-54.09%) and 97.67% (95% CI: 97.02%-98.18%). The 4-year cumulative absolute risk of CIN2 or higher was highest in the HPV 16/18 positive group (36.73%, 95% CI: 27.85%-46.62%), followed by other HR-HPV positive groups (10.70%, 95% CI: 7.87%-14.38%), and the HR-HPV negative group was the lowest (0.39%, 95% CI: 0.19%-0.76%). Conclusions:HR-HPV genotyping testing exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for detecting CIN2 or higher lesions in cervical cancer screening. It also provides a scientific basis for stratifying the individual risk of developing CIN2 or higher lesions to guide subsequent management. Therefore, the HR-HPV genotyping testing can be considered as an effective method for cervical cancer screening.

Objective:To investigate the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) combined with quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in predicting axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer.Methods:A total of 150 cases of breast cancer confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. 68 cases had axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis and 82 cases had no ALN metastasis. All breast lesions were examined by DKI and DCE-MRI before operation. We analyzed clinical case data, routine MRI features, DKI, and DCE-MRI parameters between two groups, including diffusion kurtosis (MK), mean diffusion rate (MD), volume transfer constant (K trans), extravascular volume fraction (Ve), and rate constant (Kep); The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of quantitative parameters for ALN metastasis of breast cancer. Results:The proportion of lesions with blurred edges in the metastatic group was higher than that in the non ALN metastatic group ( P=0.032); The proportion of uneven and circular enhancement within the ALN metastasis group was relatively high ( P=0.018). The MD value of the ALN transfer group was lower than that of the group without ALN transfer ( P=0.021); The MK value, K trans value, and Kep value were higher than those in the group without ALN metastasis (all P<0.01). The K trans value of DCE-MRI model was the most effective in diagnosing ALN metastasis of breast cancer, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.831; The AUC of DCE-MRI model was 0.833, which was higher than that of DKI model (AUC=0.733), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=2.208; P=0.027). The AUC of DCE-MRI and DKI models were higher than that of conventional MRI models ( Z=3.184, P=0.002; Z=1.917, P=0.046). The sensitivity and accuracy of combined DKI and DCE-MRI models in the diagnosis of ALN metastasis in breast cancer were higher than those of single model. Conclusions:DKI and DCE-MRI models can be used to predict axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. Among them, the K trans value of DCE-MRI model is the most effective in diagnosing axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the compliance rate and its impact factors of liver cancer screening for high-risk groups in urban areas of Henan Province from 2013 to 2019.Methods:Residents of 40-74 years old in 8 cities of Henan province were selected to investigate the risk factors and liver cancer risk assessment. Subjects with high risk of liver cancer received AFP combined ultrasonography for screening. Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in liver cancer screening participation rates between groups. Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to explore the potential factors correlating to the compliance of liver cancer screening.Results:Overall, 3 6781 participants who met the inclusion criteria were included in this analysis, and 17 241 of them took the following liver cancer screening, yielding a participation rate of 46.87%. The participation rate varied greatly across cities, ranging from 62.50% to 38.59%. Moreover, the participation rate varied greatly across periods, ranging from 52.77% in 2014-2015 to 38.14% in 2013-2014. The multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that: female, older, high education degree, cigarette and alcohol intake, infrequent physical exercise, chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, fatty liver, gallstones and a family history of liver cancer were inclined to accept liver cancer screening ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall participation rate of liver cancer screening among high-risk population is less than 50% in urban areas of Henan Province. Implement of effective interventions targeting the specific high-risk populations might improve the overall compliance rate of liver cancer screening in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of high risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) E6/E7 mRNA in triaging women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined signification (ASCUS).Methods:The ASCUS cohort determined by liquid-based cytology test in the cervical cancer screening queue in Luoshan County, Xinyang City, Henan Province 2017 were selected. The population underwent colposcopy biopsy and pathological tests, combined with HPV16 or 18 (HPV16/18), HR-HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA test. By using the pathological result as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictor (PPV), negative prediction (NPV), referral rate and 95% confident interval ( CI) of HPV E6/E7 mRNA, HR-HPV DNA, HPV16/18 were calculated, respectively. Results:The average age of 312 ASCUS women was 52.6±7.3 years old. Among the 290 women diagnosed as normal by pathology, 64 (22.1%) were HPV E6/E7 mRNA positive, 86 (29.7%) were HR-HPV DNA positive, and 19 (6.6%) were HPV16/18 positive. All of the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) cases determined by pathology were both HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HR-HPV DNA positive. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and referral rate of HPV E6/E7 mRNA for predicting CIN2+ lesion in women with ASCUS were 100.0% (95% CI: 72.3, 100.0), 77.8% (95% CI: 72.8, 82.1), 13.0% (95% CI: 7.2, 22.3), 100.0% (95% CI: 98.4, 100.0) and 24.7%. Compared with HPV E6/E7 mRNA, the sensitivity of HR-HPV DNA was similar with HPV E6/E7 mRNA, but with a lower specificity [70.2% (95% CI: 64.8, 75.1), P<0.05], a higher referral rate (32.1%, P<0.05); while HPV 16/18 had a high specificity (93.4%, 95% CI: 90.0, 95.7) and a low sensitivity (30.0%, 95% CI: 10.8, 60.3). Based on the age stratification by age 45, the sensitivity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA in both age groups was 100.0%. The specificity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA in group of ≥45 years was a little higher than that in group of <45 years [79.0% (95% CI: 73.7, 83.5) versus 68.3% (95% CI: 53.0, 80.4)], but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The ASCUS woman triaging effect of HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection is better than those of HR-HPV and HPV16/18 under certain conditions. The application of HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection to triage ASCUS population can avoid unnecessary colposcopy referral and reduce the missed diagnosis of cervical lesions.

Objective:To analyze the effects of esophageal cancer screening in Henan rural areas with cancer screening program from 2014 to 2018.Methods:From July 2014 to June 2019, according to the National Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer in Rural Areas Project, cluster sampling method was adopted in 16 counties/county-level cities in rural areas with high incidence of esophageal cancer in Henan province. Endoscopic iodine staining and indicative biopsy were used to screen esophageal cancer. The patients with mild and moderate dysplasia confirmed in screening were followed up. The distribution of esophageal diseases in the screening population was calculated, and Chi-square test was used to compare the differences of detection rate and early diagnosis rate between the primary screening population and the follow-up population.Results:The age of 116 630 primary screening population was (54.29±7.70) years old, and the proportion of males was 41.2% (48 108). In the primary screening population, patients with normal esophagus, mild to moderate dysplasia, severe dysplasia and above accounted for 92.91% (108 363), 6.03% (7 035) and 1.06% (1 232), respectively. The detection rate of esophageal cancer was 1.06% (1 232/116 630), and the rate of early diagnosis was 85.80% (1 057). Among the follow-up population of 6 154 people, those with normal esophagus, mild to moderate dysplasia, severe dysplasia and above diseases accounted for 63.45% (3 905), 33.13% (1 519) and 3.41% (210), respectively. The detection rate of esophageal cancer was 3.41% (210/6 154), and the rate of early diagnosis was 91.90% (1 939). Compared with the primary screening population, the risk of esophageal cancer was higher in the overall follow-up population, people either with mild or with moderate dysplasia diagnosed in primary screening, with OR values (95 %CI) of 3.23 (2.78, 3.75), 1.85 (1.49, 2.29) and 8.13 (6.69, 9.88), respectively. Conclusion:From 2014 to 2018, in the early diagnosis and early treatment of upper digestive tract cancer project in rural areas of Henan Province, the detection rate of the follow-up population is significantly higher than that of the primary screening population. Improving follow-up rate and paying more attention to the screening of people who need follow-up could further improve the screening effect.

Objective:To evaluate the compliance of colonoscopy screening and the detection rate of colorectal lesions with colonoscopy in urban areas of Henan province from 2013 to 2019.Methods:The study objects were derived from the Cancer Screening Program in Urban Henan Province, China. From October 2013 to October 2019, 282 377 residents, who had lived in the local area for more than three years, were recruited from Zhengzhou, Zhumadian, Anyang, Luoyang, Nanyang, Jiaozuo, Puyang and Xinxiang. The cancer risk assessment questionnaire was used to collect basic demographic characteristics, eating habits, living environment and habits, psychology and emotions, past disease history and family history of cancer, and women′s physiological and reproductive history. The cancer risk assessment model was used for evaluating the risk of colorectal cancer. The data related to colonoscopy screening was obtained from the participating hospitals. Chi-square test was used to analyze the compliance rate among different groups.Results:The 282 377 subjects were (55.26±8.68) years old, of which 44.80% (126 505) were males, and 67.63% (190 694) had junior/senior/tertiary education background. A total of 39 834 (14.11%) subjects were assessed to be at high risk for colorectal cancer, of which 7 454 took the following colonoscopy screening, yielding a participation rate of 18.71%. The screening rate was higher in those aged 50 to 54 (20.42%) and 55 to 59 (20.43%) years, and lowest in those aged 70 years and older (12.30%) ( P<0.001). A total of 17 colorectal cancer cases were detected, with a detection rate of 0.23% (17/7 454). Conclusion:Colonoscopy as a means of screening for colorectal cancer is helpful for early detection of colorectal lesions, but the participation rate is poor.
