Immunosuppression as an associated risk factor for high-grade cervical lesions: a comparative study of cytology, HPV, and histopathology
Background Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection is the main cause of cervical carcinogenesis, and impaired immune surveillance may increase the risk of viral persistence and progression to high-grade lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the association between immunosuppression and high-grade ce...
