Key Points

This research aims to explore the link between serum FOXP3 and P16INK4A levels and cervical lesion outcomes.
Cohort study design.
Measurement of serum FOXP3 and P16INK4A concentrations.
Assessment of cervical lesions persistence and progression.
Serum FOXP3 and P16INK4A levels showed a likely association with the persistence of cervical lesions.
The results, though not statistically significant, suggest a trend towards predicting treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Though results are not statistically significant and imprecise, serum FOXP3 and P16ink4A concentrations are likely associated with persistence and progression of cervical lesions. Their measurement may benefit the prognostic monitoring of cervical lesions.
