P16INK4a as a progression/regression tumour marker in LSIL cervix lesions: our clinical experience
Purpose Of Investigation:
The aim of this prospective study was the evaluation of low-grade intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) lesions evolvement in woman with evidence of high risk HPV infection and p 16 4a negative expression.
Materials And Methods:
150 women with cytological diagnosis of LSIL were selected to be underwent to three years of follow-up consisting in smear test, colposcopy, and protein p16I4a investigation every six months and HPV-test every 12 months.
Result:
Final follow-up showed 45 cases of spontaneous lesion regression and 42 cases of persistence with absence of protein p164NK4a in all of them. There were three cases of disease progression to CIN2, two at 18-month follow-up and one at last follow-up. Disease progression was characterized of p16NK4a expression.
Conclusion:
p16l4a should help to identify which LSIL cases are inclined to the progression of the disease and focalize which patients are eligible for specific treatment.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
