Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Cervical carcinogenesis is mediated by the HPV-E6 and E7 oncoproteins, considered as biomarkers usable in managing screen-positive women. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the accuracy of HPV-E6/E7-oncoprotein tests to detect underlying cervical-precancer and cancer. We included studies reporting data on oncoprotein test accuracy detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse. Random effects logistic regression models were applied for pooling absolute and relative accuracy. RESULTS: Twenty-two studies were included. …
