    HPV Genotype and Cervical Cancer Screening - 4 year(s) ago

    In a study of 11,573 HPV-positive women, Maria Demarco, Ph.D., M.P.H., et al., found HPV type and persistence are the major predictors of progression to cervical precancer. At a minimum, HPV16 is clinically important, and dividing the other HPV types into three risk-groups is worth considering. These findings were published in the journal EClinicalMedicine on April 24, 2020.

    AI approach improves cervical cancer screening in NCI study - 4 year(s) ago

    In a new study, an automated dual-stain method using artificial intelligence (AI) improved the accuracy and efficiency of cervical cancer screening compared with the current standard for follow-up of women who test positive with primary HPV screening. The approach has clear implications for clinical care.

    Higher Intake of Plant Protein Compared to Animal Protein Associated with Lower Mortality - 4 year(s) ago

    Jiaqi Huang and Demetrius Albanes in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch analyzed the dietary intake of over 400,000 participants from the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study and found that greater intake of plant protein rather than animal protein was associated with lower overall and cardiovascular disease mortality.
