Cover Story: Cervical cancer (CC) progresses from persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN I-III), and, ultimately, to invasive carcinoma. This study validates critical protein biomarkers, including topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A), minichromosome maintenance complex component 2 (MCM2), valosin-containing protein (VCP), and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (p16INK4a), in clinical swab samples and cervical tissues for point-of-care CC screening. By optimizing a simple and efficient protein extraction protocol, we further demonstrate the potential application of these biomarkers in detecting precancerous lesions (CIN II/III) and CC. Quantitative analysis of these biomarkers and subsequent classification models highlight their potential application in the effective early detection of CIN II/III and CC. View this paper
