ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of cervical lesions screened with white acetate solution. Methods Four hundred and eighty-five patients who were suspected with cervical lesion during Janurary to March 2016 were enrolled in this study. The patients were asked about the medical history, filled the registration form, and performed routine gynecological examinations with white acetate solution, thinprep cytology test (TCT) and vaginal endoscopic biopsy. The value of white acetate solution in clinic was assessed. Results In 485 patients, 450 patients (92.78%) were pathologically diagnosed of inflammation (92.78%), 24 patients (4.95%) were diagnosed of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), 10 patients (2.06%)were diagnosed of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and one patient (0.21%) was diagnosed of cervical cancer. The detection rate of white acetate solution and TCT were gradually increased with the increase of the degree of cervical lesions. The detection rate of white acetate solution in the inflammation was 1.33%, in LSIL was 91.67%, in HSIL was 9/10, and in cervical cancer was 1/1. The detection rate of TCT in the inflammation was 8.44%, in LSIL was 66.67%, in HSIL was 6/10, and in cervical cancer was 1/1. The sensitivity, specificity and coincidence rate of the diagnostic results with white acetate solution were 84.21%, 99.33%, 98.14%, and with TCT were 62.30%, 93.63%, 89.69%. There were significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Cervical lesions screened with white acetate solution is good in sensitivity and specificity, which is an effective way for screening cervical cancer.
