Cervical cancer is predominantly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), with oncogenic strains HPV 16 and 18 accounting for most cases worldwide. Prompt and precise identification of these high-risk HPV types is essential for enhancing patient outcomes as it enables timely intervention and management. However, the existing HPV detection techniques a...
Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of mortality in its invasive stages, presenting a significant global public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Despite technological advancements that have improved the quality of cervical images captured during visual inspections, several challenges persist. This article pres...
Background
The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) with cancer research is increasing, and many of the advances have focused on the analysis of cancer images.
Objectives
To describe and synthesize the literature on the diagnostic accuracy of AI in early imaging diagnosis of cervical cancer following Preferred Reporting Items for Systemati...
Background
Cervical cytology is essential for the early detection of cervical cancer. However, in Colombia, only 50% of women with subsidized health insurance were screened in 2019, compared to 100% of women with contributory insurance. This disparity highlights significant barriers that must be addressed. This study aimed to identify the factors t...
Global cervical cancer incidence and mortality have remained a major public health problem. Depending on the quality and coverage of preventive programs, and the capacity of health care systems, different screening tests are used, with the Pap smear being the most widely implemented. Several difficulties have been reported in accessing timely detec...
Background
Cervical cytology is essential for the early detection of cervical cancer. However, in Colombia during 2019, 50% of women with health insurance for poor people (subsidized regime) were screened, compared to 100% of women with health insurance for people with capacity to pay a contribution (contributive regime); these differences reflect...
Issue
In 2018, the mortality due to cervical cancer rose by 6.9 compared to the previous year, with 311.365 deaths in total. By 2030, it is estimated that there will be a 21.3% increase in incidence and 26.7% in mortality. In Colombia, cervical cancer is the second cause of death by cancer in women.
Description of the Problem
We present the design...
Introduction
In Colombian women, cervical cancer screening coverage in 2017, 48.2 % of women were able to pay and 34.3% were not able to.
Objective
To determine the barriers and facilitators of screening adherence to preventive program for cervical cancer prevention, in women were not able to pay affiliated to a public network of primary health ca...
Background
The production, delivery of services and scope of health outcomes have generated new forms of organization of the Colombian Healthcare System. Complex solutions developed with a focused techno vision have not been functional, nor adaptable to territories of scattered high rurality (TARD), mainly on the Colombian Pacific coast.
Objective...
This article presents the design process of innovative prototypes for cervical cancer prevention in primary care centers located in low-income settings in Cali, Colombia, using the Human-Centered Design (HCD). The project was developed in collaboration with a public healthcare network comprised of 38 urban and rural centers with women between the a...
A schwannoma is a slow-growing benign neoplasm of the peripheral nerves composed of Schwann cells. Pathologically, is characterized by solid, subcutaneous, asymptomatic lesions. Histologically, it is made of prototypes of cellular organization called Antoni A and Antoni B. The most common site for its occurrence is the tongue, followed by the palat...
