Serum Free Fatty Acid-Based Diagnostic Index for Cervical Cancer Including High-Risk HPV-Negative Cases: An Independent Validation Study

Background/Objectives: Cervical cancer (CC) is usually caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV); however, some hrHPV-negative cases are undetectable by current screening programs. We evaluated a previously established diagnostic model based on serum free fatty acids (FFAs) in an independent cohort including hrHPV-negative CC.
