Mashup Score: 0Cervical Screening Guidelines Based on DCEG Research - 3 year(s) ago
New guidelines for screening and treatment of cervical cancer and its precursors from the American Cancer Society, ASCCP, and the World Health Organization, are based in part on research by DCEG investigators. These guidelines use a risk-based approach to screening and management, focusing on HPV testing for primary screening. These guidelines, paired with vaccination against HPV, support the…

Mashup Score: 1HPV Genotype and Cervical Cancer Screening - 3 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.

Mashup Score: 2Postmenopausal Androgen Metabolism and Endometrial Cancer Risk in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study - PubMed - 4 year(s) ago
We identified increased risks for endometrial cancer with the highest levels of adrenal androgens and high levels of estrogens relative to these androgens. As adrenal androgens can be aromatized to estrogens, this suggests androgens likely influence endometrial carcinogenesis via estrogen metabolism …
