Cohort
Tracking disease incidence in order to identify risk factors and understand disease progression over time.Summary
Study start date: August 1, 1999
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the detection of transferrin receptor, epidermal growth factor receptor, and the MaTu-MN protein in exfoliated cervical epithelial cells from women with abnormal Pap test using fluorescent labeled antibody probe vs histology. OUTLINE: Patients undergo a Pap test and a colposcopy. Cervical epithelial cells are collected from the most abnormal appearing lesion. Cells are examined for molecular markers using a fluorescent antibody test. The presence or absence of these markers is compared to results of the Pap test and the histology of the cells. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 months.
