There is no need to screen more frequently than every three years, since the cumulative occurrence of a cervical cancer precursor lesion called a CIN3 + during the three years after a negative HPV test was less than 1 percent.

• Women who have a negative HPV test result from their primary screening have a greater reassurance of a very low risk for a future cervical cancer precursor lesion, as compared to women who have a negative Pap smear test in their primary screening.

Additional studies in larger cohorts will be needed to validate these findings, and more biomarkers will be needed to get the completely accurate set needed to screen the general population with the long term goal of identifying precursor lesions before they become malignant.

Terkeltaub enlisted colleagues at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, and the University of California, San Diego, to try to pin down how these precursors, called monocytes, might be attracted to the lesions.

Active chorioretinitis, a possible precursor of chorioretinal atrophy, has not been reported in infants with congenital ZIKV infection, and the pattern of ocular findings differs from those in other congenital infections.56 In particular, retinal lesions, including well - defined chorioretinal atrophy and gross pigmentation, generally affecting the macular region, are unique to ZIKV infection (Figure 3).

A new study co-authored by Jorge Moscat, Ph.D., and Maria Diaz - Meco Ph.D., professors at SBP's NCI - designated Cancer Center, looks at ways to detect and stop precursors of pancreatic cancer — premalignant lesions known as intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (PanIN1)-- before they become cancer.
