Artificial Intelligence Enables Precision Diagnosis of Cervical Cytology Grades and Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer, the fourth most common cancer globally and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths, can be effectively prevented through early screening. Detecting precancerous cervical lesions and halting their progression in a timely manner is crucial. However, accurate screening platforms for early detection of cervical cancer are needed. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an Artificial Intelligence Cervical Cancer Screening (AICS) system for diagnosing cervical cytology grades and cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Women Aged 25-65 years old.
2. Availability of confirmed diagnostic results of the cervical liquid-based cytological examination, and satisfactory digital images from the liquid-based cytology pap test: at least 5000 uncovered and observable squamous epithelial cells, samples with abnormal cells (atypical squamous cells or atypical glandular cells and above).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Unsatisfactory samples of cervical liquid-based cytological examination: less than 5000 uncovered, observable squamous epithelial cells, and more than 75% of squamous epithelial cells affected because of blood, inflammatory cells, epithelial cells over-overlapping, poor fixation, excessive drying, or contamination of unknown components.
2. Women diagnosed with other malignant tumors other than cervical cancer.
