Progress in immunocytochemical staining for cervical cancer screening

Cancer Manag Res. 2019 Feb 22:11:1817-1827. doi: 10.2147/CMAR.S195349. eCollection 2019.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. In recent years, the implementation of cervical cancer screening has resulted in the effective control of cervical cancer incidence. However, many deficiencies still exist in the current screening techniques and strategies. With advancements in cervical cancer screening research, immunochemical staining to determine cervical cytology has shown a broader application prospect in the early screening for cervical cancer, especially for triage in cervical cancer screening.
