The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of inflammatory proteins as molecular markers in the diagnosis of cervical oncopathology. Materials and Methods. A prospective controlled trial was conducted with three groups of women: group 1 (n=13)- with precancerous pathology (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of grade III); group 2 (n=49) - patients with cervical cancer; group 3, control (n=13) - gynecologically healthy women (mean age - 30.0 +/- 4.4 years). The material for the study was cervical epithelium, which was taken according to the standard technique using a cytobrush from the junction zone of cervical. The levels of inflammatory proteins (SAA, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and sCD27) in the cervical epithelium were determined by flow cytometry. Results. Molecular criteria for the presence of precancerous pathology and cervical cancer have been found to be a 3.10 [1.31; 3.28] fold increase in SAA values (Ur-41.0, p=0.02), 2.62 [2.79 3.50] fold (U=137.0, p=0.001) in ICAM-1, 5.20 [3.84; 12.37] fold (U=138.5, p=0.001) in VCAM-1, and 4.32 [2.07; 5.02] fold (U=109.0, p https://repo.bashgmu.ru/publication/1591 https://repo.bashgmu.ru/files/1762
