Abstract Objective To investigate the application value of folate receptor-mediated cervical epithelial tissue specific staining ( FRD) in screening cervical cancer.
Methods The screening for cervical cancer was carried out in 800 women using two methods of FRD and human papilloma virus testing for cervical cancer (HPVE6/E7), of whom the patients with FRD or HPV E6/E7 positive received cervical biopsy via colposcopy. Taking pathological results as the golden standard. The diagnostic efficiency of FRD and HPV E6/E7 techniques was compared.
Results The cervical biopsy was performed in 180 cases and pathological coincidence rates for N/A and CIN2: were 69. 81 % and 89.90% using FRD, which were higher than 41.51% and 67. 57% using 1-IPV E6/E7 (P<0.05). For screening cervical lesions of CIN2 or higher, the sensitivity of FRD was similar to that of HPV E6/E7 (88.76% vs.83.15% (p<0.05), but specificity of FRD was higher than that of HPV E6/E7 (57.14% vs 38.46%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion Compared to HPV E6/E7 method, FRD technique has the advantages of higher specificity, quicker diagnosis, less cost, and more suitable for screening the cervical lesions of CIN2 or higher.
