The objective of the study was to evaluate the difference in the stiffness between a healthy cervix (no pre-invasive lesions [NPILs]) and a cervix with a pre-invasive lesion (PIL). In the PIL group, we determined whether there was a difference in stiffness between the cervix with persistent low-grade lesions (>2 y, LSIL-persistent) and that with high-grade lesions (HSILs). Evaluation was performed using 2-D shear-wave elastography (SWE) in the midsagittal-plane of the uterine cervix (UC) at 0.5 cm (cervical canal, anterior and posterior cervical lips). In this prospective observational study (consecutive series), we evaluated 96 non-pregnant women: a group with PIL (LSIL-persistent, 22 cases; HSIL, 26 cases) with indications for cervical conization (48 cases) and a group without UC pathology (NPIL, 48 cases). Although we did not observe statistically significant differences (SSDs) in epidemiological characteristics, we did find an SSD in the speed and stiffness between the PIL versus NPIL groups at all evaluated depths (speed: 4.1 m/s vs 3.0 m/s, stiffness: 58.6 and 34.5kPa in the PIL and NPIL groups, respectively, p < 0.001). An SSD in speed and stiffness (speed: 4.9 m/s vs. 3.2 m/s, and stiffness: 76.1 and 38.0 kPa) between the HSIL (26 cases) and LSIL-persistent (22 cases) groups, respectively, was also detected (p < 0.001). The area under the curve of speed differentiation between a cervix with HSILs and without lesions was 73.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 63.1-83.7), and the best cutoff of speed was 3.25 m/s (sensitivity = 62.5%, 95% CI: 47.3-76.0), with a specificity of 75.5% (95% CI: 60.4-87.1). |
