Brief Summary
This diagnostic trial is studying the presence of a specific protein as a potential biomarker of cervical dysplasia and/or cancer. The presence of specific proteins may allow a doctor to determine whether a patient has cervical dysplasia and/or cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Expression of the MN antigen in cytologic preparations that have been classified as AGUS
Baseline
Number of cervical specimens identified as having or not having glandular and/or squamous neoplasia
Baseline
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Ability of the MN antigen marker to be able to correctly predict patients who do not have glandular and/or squamous neoplasia
Up to 2 years
Feasibility, based on the number of years required to complete the study, as determined by both the actual disease prevalence rate as well as the actual patient accrual rate
At 1 year

Diagnostic
EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo a Pap smear followed by a ThinPrep cervical cell specimen collection at the time of direct colposcopic examination. Patients then undergo a cone biopsy of the cervix using loop electrosurgical excision procedure with an endocervical curettage, an excisional cone biopsy of the cervix with or without endocervical curettage, or a hysterectomy. Patients who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal or have a negative cervical cone biopsy also undergo endometrial biopsy or curettage. The Pap smear specimen is analyzed to determine MN antigen expression and the ThinPrep specimen is analyzed for the presence of high-risk human papilloma virus and to determine MN antigen and other marker (e.g., P16) expression. Patients who do not undergo hysterectomy are followed every 6 months for 2 years. All other patients are followed at 4, 26, and 30 weeks.
Interventions
Undergo cone biopsy
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Cytologically confirmed atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS)
- Must be scheduled to undergo complete histologic examination of the cervix by cone biopsy using loop electrosurgical excision procedure with an endocervical curettage, excisional cone biopsy with or without endocervical curettage, or hysterectomy within 6 months of the initial cytologic diagnosis of AGUS
- No history of endometrial hyperplasia
- No history of cancer of the endometrium, vagina, or cervix
- HIV negative
- No pregnant patients who are at high risk for excessive bleeding or preterm labor if a cone biopsy is performed
- No prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for vaginal and/or cervical cancer
- No prior radiotherapy to the vagina or cervix
- No concurrent radiotherapy to the vagina or cervix
- No prior hysterectomy
