Detection of Oncoprotein by a Novel Immunochromatoghaphic Test Depending on Age and Parity of the Patients Attending at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh.

In world wide cervical cancer is the fourth most common among women, with the majority of cases occurring in developing countries. Some HPV infections persist, and a subset of persistent infections may lead to development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or invasive cancer. Because neoplastic change typically takes some years to occur and it depends on multiple factors among them age and parity play important role. The objective of the cross sectional observational study was detection of oncoprotein depending on age and parity by immunochromatographic test (OncoE6 cervical test). Informed consent was taken from patients and the protocol was approved by IRB, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. From April 2016 to March 2017 following universal safety precautions a total of 280 endocervical swabs were collected from VIA outdoor and Colposcopy clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Laboratory work was done in the department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College. The E6 strip test is an immunochromatographic test based on the detection of HPV-E6 oncoprotein in cervical swab samples. In this study VIA and OncoE6 cervical test were done on 280 cases and among them 120 were VIA positive and sent for colposcopy. From 120 VIA positive cases 70 were positive for colposcopy test. Afterwards 50 cases were selected for histopathological examination and classified into different grades. The present study showed 21(7.5%) cases were OnE6 cervical test positive by OncoE6 cervical test and most of them were found in advance aged <50 (38.09%) and multi parity (women more than two, 32.5%). Based on the findings of the present study, it may be concluded that age and multi parity plays important factor to cause cervical cancer. Now for prevention of cervical cancer we need screening which is an early detection tool. This is a low cost device, easily performed which can detect this HRHPV (High Risk HPV) and it will be helpful to reduce over treatment and high predictability of the disease.
