Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is common in Thailand. According to the campaign in cervical cancer screening, more patients with abnormal cervical cancer screenings underwent colposcopy. This study’s objective is to estimate the prevalence of high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL/CIN2-3) in women who underwent colposcopy.

Objective: A primary objective is to estimate the prevalence of high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia in women who underwent colposcopy at Samutsakhon Hospital. A secondary objective is to identify cervical cancer screening result in women who developed high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.

Methods: This research is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Women who underwent colposcopy at Samutsakhon Hospital in Samut Sakhon, Thailand, from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2025 were included. Medical data were obtained from the hospital database.

Results: Of the 322 patients who underwent colposcopy with cervical biopsy at Samutsakhon Hospital, 81 patients (25.2%) were found to have high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL). Among them, 52 patients (64.2%) had HPV infection, while 29 patients (35.8%) had abnormal PAP smears: the most common PAP smear result was HSIL (16 patients).

Conclusion: The prevalence of HSIL among women who underwent colposcopy at Samutsakhon Hospital was 25.2%. The study found that HPV infection was the most common abnormal cervical cancer screening result in those who were diagnosed with HSIL.
