Article Abstract
The objective of this work is to assess the 5-year outcomes of patients undergoing conization for high-grade cervical lesions that simultaneously present as risk factors in the persistence of HPV infection and the positivity of surgical resection margins. This is a retrospective study evaluating patients undergoing conization for high-grade cervical lesions. All patients included had both positive surgical margins and experienced HPV persistence at 6 months. Associations were evaluated with Cox proportional hazard regression and summarized using hazard ratio (HR). The charts of 2966 patients undergoing conization were reviewed. Among the whole population, 163 (5.5%) patients met the inclusion criteria, being at high risk due to the presence of positive surgical margins and experiencing HPV persistence. Of 163 patients included, 17 (10.4%) patients developed a CIN2+ recurrence during the 5-year follow-up. Via univariate analyses, diagnosis of CIN3 instead of CIN2 (HR: 4.88 (95%CI: 1.10, 12.41); = 0.035) and positive endocervical instead of ectocervical margins (HR: 6.44 (95%CI: 2.80, 9.65); < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of persistence/recurrence. Via multivariate analyses, only positive endocervical instead of ectocervical margins (HR: 4.56 (95%CI: 1.23, 7.95); = 0.021) were associated with worse outcomes. In this high-risk group, positive endocervical margins is the main risk factor predicting 5-year recurrence.

Background: In menopausal women, decreased estrogen levels lead to genital tract mucosal atrophy and reduced mucosal immune function. Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) associated with persistent or newly acquired high-risk HPV infection may progress silently to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and eventually cervical cancer.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy combined with estrogen in the treatment of menopausal women with LSIL and high-risk HPV infection.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) originates in the epithelial lining of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx, with over 830,000 new cases diagnosed globally in 2020, making it the seventh most prevalent cancer. Despite treatment advances, high-grade HNSCCs remain associated with poor outcomes and a high risk of recurrence. Although Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) are rare in HNSCC tumors, they are key drivers of tumor relapses, as they evade apoptosis and survive current therapies through enhanced DNA repair and quiescence.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) is a relatively new classification of head and neck carcinomas that displays histological combinations of multiple different neoplasms. Despite their high-grade appearance, the disease course is often indolent. Here, we report a unique case of HMSC in which a patient with a prior history of sarcoidosis presented with two histologically, and anatomically distinct tumors in the sinonasal tract.

Uterine cervical lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a rare type of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The present study describes a case of cervical LELC, including the cytological findings. A Japanese woman in her 40s was diagnosed with a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), suspected cytologically.

Objective: Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality among Mexican women aged 20-39 years, driven primarily by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. To determine the prevalence of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in women under 40 years of age and identify associated risk factors.
Material And Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted, including 359 women under 40 years old who were evaluated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Medical Unit of Centro Médico Nacional de Occidente.
