Cervical cancer (CC) ranks fourth in the structure of morbidity and mortality from cancers in women. Early detection of CC and assessment of malignancy prognoses are of critical importance, because women who have early-stage invasive carcinoma have significantly higher chances of being cured, which is in turn cost effective. Publications in the PubMed and Cochrane databases; recommendations of international and Russian professional communities, clinical studies published in the public domain to search for modern markers for the progression of cervical precancerous processes have been analyzed. The review presents markers for the progression of cervical precancerous processes and describes the main mechanisms of the pathogenic effect of human papillomavirus (HPV) on epithelial cells. Along with well-known markers, such as p16, Ki-67, proteomics that is a valuable tool for studying the mechanisms involved in the interaction of viral infection and protein dysfunction leading to cervical carcinogenesis is being actively investigated. Metabolomics is widely used to study cancer metabolism. Metabolites, the end products of various biological processes, hold promise as accurate biomarkers that reflect past biological events, such as genetic mutations and environmental changes. Altered metabolites will help to better understand metabolic dysregulation during tumor initiation and progression.
Conclusion: An analysis of the data available in the literature has shown that markers for dysplasia progression enhance the possibilities of timely diagnosis and therapy.
