Cervical Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
1. Primary Objective: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of high-definition electronic magnifying endoscopy combined with image-enhanced technology versus colposcopy for cervical and vaginal lesions. 2. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate and compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the two examination methods, and to assess the differences between the two techniques in image characteristics, such as lesion border clarity and visualization of microvascular structures.
Interventions
High-definition magnifying endoscopy (100-150×) enables clear visualization of microvascular and mucosal structures. In recent years, magnifying endoscopy combined with image-enhanced techniques (such as NBI/BLI/LCI) has established a well-developed vascular and epithelial interpretation system for the diagnosis of early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The cervix, vagina, and esophagus share the same stratified squamous epithelium, and the pathological evolution of precancerous lesions and early cancer exhibits similarities. Therefore, this technical framework may theoretically be transferable to the detection of lower genital tract lesions.
