Abstract

Background: The increase in the incidence of Cervical Cancer in the female population worldwide has been an issue that deserves further attention from the scientific community. Several studies have already proven the relationship of its development with the molecular mechanisms that Human Papillomavirus (HPV) induces in cervical cells. The gene amplification provided by molecular biology techniques has been used as the gold standard diagnostic method of this virus because of its high specificity and sensitivity.However, the high investments associated with the acquisition of reagents, equipment and labor demonstrate the need for the development of more accessible techniques that present the same accuracy. FT-IR spectroscopy has been studied as an inexpensive and easily accessible technology that can provide the differentiation of malignant and benign cells. This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness and sensitivity of molecular analysis by PCR in relation to cytological analysis and to evaluate the sensitivity of FT-IR spectroscopy in the diagnosis of HPV for cervical cancer prevention. Methods: Cervical fluid samples obtained from 50 patients with absence of cellular lesion by cytological analysis were analyzed by molecular and spectroscopic analyzes. Oncotic colpocitology analysis was performed by the Papanicolaou staining, amplification of the L1 viral gene by PCR was performed using primers MY09 and MY11 and biochemical analysis of the fluids by FT-IR was performed using the Spectrum 400 system equipped with a microscope. Results: Of the 50 patients without evident morphological alteration of the cells, seven were diagnosed by molecular analysis as positive for presence of HPV. Principal component analysis of spectroscopy was not able to separate the negative samples from the HPV positive samples and, therefore, did not present as an effective diagnostic technique. Conclusions: We highlight the efficacy, sensitivity and specificity of molecular biology by PCR in the identification of the virus and we emphasize that more studies should be used for the application of FT-IR spectroscopy in the diagnosis of this infection and its application in the prevention of cervical cancer.
