Abstract
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. We set out to determine whether attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy combined with principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) or, variable selection techniques employing successive projection algorithm or genetic algorithm (GA) could classify cervical cytology according to human papilloma virus (HPV) infection [high-risk (hr) vs. low-risk (lr)]. Histopathological categories for squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) were segregated into grades (low-grade vs. high-grade) of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) expressing different HPV infection (16/18, 31/35 or HPV Others). Risk assessment for HPV infection was investigated using age (≤29 years vs. >30 years) as the distinguishing factor. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples (n = 350) were collected and interrogated employing ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Accuracy test results including sensitivity and specificity were determined. Sensitivity in hrHPV category was high (≈87%) using a GA-LDA model with 28 wavenumbers. Sensitivity and specificity results for >30 years for HPV, using 28 wavenumbers by GA-LDA, were 70% and 67%, respectively. For normal cervical cytology, accuracy results for ≤29 years and >30 years were high (up to 81%) using a GA-LDA model with 27 variables. For the low-grade cervical cytology dataset, 83% specificity for ≤29 years was achieved using a GA-LDA model with 33 wavenumbers. HPV16/18 vs. HPV31/35 vs. HPV Others were segregated with 85% sensitivity employing a GA-LDA model with 33 wavenumbers. We show that ATR-FTIR spectroscopy of cervical cytology combined with variable selection techniques is a powerful tool for HPV classification, which would have important implications for the triaging of patients. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014
