Partha Basu, Head of the Early Detection, Prevention and Infections Branch at International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Our new publication on the performance of colposcopy to triage HPV positive women.
The pooled sensitivity for CIN2+ and CIN3+ using colposcopy (low-grade colposcopic impression) were 84.4% (95% CI: 79.0%–88.6%) and 86.9% (95% CI: 81.7–90.8%), respectively.
The pooled specificity for < CIN2 was 64.3% (95% CI: 57.4%–70.7%). Will this set the benchmark for the AI tools being developed for triaging the HPV positive women, including the one by IARC – International Agency for Research on Cancer / World Health Organization? Thanks Marc Arbyn for taking the lead.”
