Summary

Patients whose pathology results are reported as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1, CIN 2, and CIN 3, are recruited. We aimed to evaluate HPV-positive women presenting to the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic, whose cervical pathology results were reported as CIN 1, CIN 2, and CIN 3, by collecting oropharyngeal and anal swab samples. A total of 30 women of reproductive age, who consented to participate, were included in the study.

Detailed description

Human papillomavirus (HPV) positivity is associated with cervical, oropharyngeal, and anal cancers. There is insufficient data in the current literature regarding the effectiveness of obtaining oropharyngeal and anal swabs from patients with HPV positivity is an effective method for detecting potential pathologies. HPV-positive women presenting to the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic, whose cervical pathology results were reported as CIN 1, CIN 2, and CIN 3, will be evaluated by collecting oropharyngeal and anal swab samples.
