Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

El cáncer de cuello uterino (CCU) es la primera causa de muerte por cáncer en mujeres en países en vías de desarrollo. La infección persistente por el virus papiloma humano (VPH) es un factor necesario en lesiones preneoplásicas y CCU. La citología cervicovaginal es el método mayormente utilizado para detectar el CCU y su uso combinado con la de detección de ADN viral seis meses post-tratamiento aumenta la efectividad para identificar mujeres tratadas con riesgo de lesión residual/recidiva. El objetivo fue describir la frecuencia de VPH de alto riesgo (AR) en mujeres tratadas por lesión escamosa intraepitelial (SIL) que acudieron al Servicio de Patología Cervical del Hospital San Pablo de enero-diciembre/2014. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transverso, que incluyó 80 pacientes que acudieron al servicio para control post-tratamiento por SIL. Se utilizó Cobas 4800 HPV Test (Roche) para la detección individual de VPH-16 y 18, y un pool de 10 VPH-AR (31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59) y dos de “probable” alto riesgo (66,68). Se encontró infección viral en el 7,5% (6/80) de las pacientes tratadas; identificándose VPH-16 en 3/6 de los casos positivos. En Paraguay existe alta incidencia de lesiones pre-neoplásicas y CCU siendo un problema de salud pública. Los datos observados sugieren que la utilización de este sistema para la detección viral puede llevar a optimizar el seguimiento post-tratamiento y la identificación de VPH-16 y 18 podría contribuir a la selección de pacientes en mayor riesgo de desarrollar una lesión cervical que deben someterse a una vigilancia frecuente y meticulosa.
