Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas C Wright

Host: Stephen Cohen, MD Guest: Thomas C. Wright, Jr., MD Regardless of the cervical cancer screening (CCS) approach used, effective triage tests are needed to improve diagnostic evaluation. An ideal screening and triage approach should identify as many precancerous lesions as possible while referring as few women as possible to colposcopy. Learn how to maximize the diagnostic accuracy of CCS triage by including p16/Ki-67 dual-staining cytology in your screening algorithm.

Host: Thomas C. Wright, Jr., MD A study of HPV typing for the management of HPV-positive ASC-US cervical cytologic results. Schiffman M, Vaughan LM, Raine-Bennett TR, Castle PE, Katki HA, Gage JC, Fetterman B, Befano B, Wentzensen N. Gynecol Oncol. 2015 Sep;138(3):573-8. doi: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2015.06.040. Epub 2015 Jul 4. Abstract BACKGROUND: In US cervical screening, immediate colposcopy is recommended for women with HPV-positive ASC-US(equivocal) cytology. We evaluated whether partial typing by Onclarity™ (BD) might identify HPV-positive women with low enough CIN3+ risk to permit 1-year follow-up instead. METHODS: The NCI-Kaiser Permanente Northern California Persistence and Progression cohort includes a subset of 13,890 women aged 21+ with HC2 (Qiagen)-positive ASC-US at enrollment; current median ...
