Diagnostic Accuracy of Serum P16ink4A and FOX-P3 Concentrations for Detection of Cervical Lesions Among Women Attending a Cervical Cancer Clinic in Western Uganda: A Case-Control Study

Conclusion: Although serum P16ink4A and FOXP3 concentrations showed moderate accuracy, their combination was more specific than sensitive. This combination has a high potential to be applied for diagnosis rather than screening for cervical lesions, at least in the Ugandan population. Combinations of...

description Conclusion: Although serum P16ink4A and FOXP3 concentrations showed moderate accuracy, their combination was more specific than sensitive. This combination has a high potential to be applied for diagnosis rather than screening for cervical lesions, at least in the Ugandan population. Combinations of P16ink4A and FOXP3 with other biomarkers could improve diagnostic accuracies. Additionally, studies could be conducted to assess the performance of these biomarkers in the detection of cervical lesions in specific populations, say Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive and HIV-negative populations.
