人乳头状瘤病毒感染与宫颈病变的相关性分析？

目的：分析宫颈上皮内瘤变（ CIN）及宫颈癌（ CC）中人乳头状瘤病毒（ HPV）亚型,探讨HPV感染与宫颈病变的相关性。方法：慢性宫颈炎或液基细胞学异常的妇女检测21种HPV基因亚型和阴道镜下宫颈定位活检,分析2481例CC和CIN患者的HPV感染情况。结果：在2481例CIN和CC患者中,HPV感染率85．0%,HPV感染与宫颈组织学结果有较强的相关性（P〈0．001,Pearson列联系数=0．648）。 CC及CINⅢ、CINⅡ患者以HPV16、18感染最多见,其次见HPV58、33、31、52、45、59、68等亚型。304例患者宫颈感染HPV16、18、58、52、33等亚型后,发生高度鳞状上皮内病变（HSIL）、不明意义的非典型鳞状细胞（ASCUS）及低度鳞状上皮内病变（LSIL）的频率增加,TCT分型与HPV分型有较弱的相关关系（P=0．002,Pearson列联系数=0．322）。细胞学结果提示HSIL、AS-CUS,宫颈组织学诊断以CC、CINIII和CINII为多,TCT分型与组织学分型也有较弱的相关性（ P=0．026,Pearson列联系数=0．172）。结论：HPV16、18、58、33、52、31、45等高危型HPV感染是宫颈癌（ CC）及癌前病变（ CIN）最常见的风险因素。高危型HPV单独或混合感染宫颈后,细胞学检测HSIL、ASCUS及LSIL的发生率增加,细胞学结果与组织学分型的相关性促进了CC和CIN的及时诊治。     

Incidence risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 or more severe lesions is a function of human papillomavirus genotypes and severity of cytological and histological abnormalities in adult Japanese women

We examined incidence probabilities of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3) or more severe lesions (CIN3+) in 1,467 adult Japanese women with abnormal cytology in relation to seven common human papillomavirus (HPV) infections (16/18/31/33/35/52/58) between April 2000 and March 2008. Sixty‐seven patients with multiple HPV infection were excluded from the risk factor analysis. Incidence of CIN3+ in 1,400 patients including 68 with ASCUS, 969 with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), 132 with HSIL without histology‐proven CIN2 (HSIL/CIN2(?)) and 231 with HSIL with histology‐proven CIN2 (HSIL/CIN2(+)) was investigated. In both high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL)/CIN2(?) and HSIL/CIN2(+), HPV16/18/33 was associated with a significantly earlier and higher incidence of CIN3+ than HPV31/35/52/58 (p = 0.049 and p = 0.0060, respectively). This association was also observed in LSIL (p = 0.0002). The 1‐year cumulative incidence rate (CIR) of CIN3+ in HSIL/CIN2(?) and HSIL/CIN2(+) according to HPV genotypes (16/18/33 vs. 31/35/52/58) were 27.1% vs. 7.5% and 46.6% vs. 19.2%, respectively. In contrast, progression of HSIL/CIN2(+) to CIN3+ was infrequent when HPV DNA was undetected: 0% of 1‐year CIR and 8.1% of 5‐year CIR. All cervical cancer occurred in HSIL cases of seven high‐risk HPVs (11/198) but not in cases of other HPV or undetectable/negative‐HPV (0/165) (p = 0.0013). In conclusion, incidence of CIN3+ depends on HPV genotypes, severity of cytological abnormalities and histology of CIN2. HSIL/CIN2(+) associated with HPV16/18/33 may justify early therapeutic intervention, while HSIL/CIN2(?) harboring these HPV genotypes needs close observation to detect incidence of CIN3+. A therapeutic intervention is not indicated for CIN2 without HPV DNA.     

九价HPV疫苗所针对的高危型HPV亚型在宫颈癌及其癌前病变中应用有效性的初步预测

背景与目的：宫颈癌是世界范围内女性第4常见的恶性肿瘤,在我国其发病率和死亡率都呈上升趋势,高危型人乳头状瘤病毒(high-risk human papillomavirus,hrHPV)持续感染与浸润宫颈癌(invasive cervical carcinoma,ICC)及其癌前病变的发生、发展关系密切,HPV预防性疫苗的研制应用成为宫颈癌一级预防的有效措施。该研究拟通过分析九价HPV疫苗所针对的7种HPV高危亚型(HPV16、18、31、33、45、52和58)在经组织学证实的宫颈癌及癌前病变中的分布,为九价疫苗在本地区人群的应用前景评估提供更多依据。方法：回顾性收集复旦大学附属肿瘤医院病理科行聚合酶链反应-反向点杂交法(polymerase chain reaction-reverse dot blot,PCR-RDB)进行HPV基因分型检测的患者,经计算HPV阳性患者中特定HPV亚型的阳性比例来评价HPV亚型对宫颈癌及其癌前病变的相对贡献。采用比例权重归因(proportional weighting attribution,PWA)方法将多重感染中亚型占比折算至相应的单型别感染。结果：符合入组条件者共计624例,分别为117例未见上皮内病变及恶性病变(negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy,NILM),45例低级别鳞状上皮内病变(low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion,LSIL),268例高级别鳞状上皮内病变(high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion,HSIL)和194例ICC。HPV总感染率为84.29%(526/624),在LSIL、HSIL及ICC组中的感染率分别为71.11%,95.90%及91.75%。HPV16/18 PWA合计占比在LSIL、HSIL和ICC组中依次上升,分别为50.00%、70.44%和91.71%。九价疫苗针对的7种hrHPV的PWA合计占比均较HPV16/18提高,在LSIL、HSIL和ICC中分别为86.34%,98.61%和94.89%。额外增加的5种hrHPV(HPV31、33、45、52和58)的相对贡献在LSIL、HSIL和ICC组中依次下降,分别为36.34%、28.17%和3.18%。结论：九价疫苗额外增加的5种hrHPV型别在本地区有望令更高比例的ICC及癌前病变得到预防,尤其对于LSIL和HSIL的预防有较大改善。     

Combined p16INK4a and human papillomavirus testing improves the prediction of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN II-III) in Thai patients with low-grade cytological abnormalities

Thailand is in the process of developing a national cervical screening program. This study examined p16INK4a staining and HPV prevalence in abnormal cervical samples with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), to evaluate the efficacy of combined HPV and p16INK4a detection to predict CIN II-III. Totals of 125 ASCUS and 87 LSIL cases were re-evaluated by Pap test and cervical cells of ASCUS and LSIL cases were prepared on slides for p16INK4a detection by immunocytochemistry. HPV genotyping of DNA extracts was performed by GP5+/6+ PCR and reverse line blot hybridization. Histopathologic tests were performed to identify cervical lesion. Total of 212 cases were diagnosed to normal (20), ASCUS (112), LSIL (78) and HSIL (2). HPV was detected in ASCUS (49/112, 43.8%), LSIL (60/78, 76.9%) and HSIL (2/2, 100%) cases. The majority of HPV positive samples typed for high-risk HPV. 55.7% (107/192) of abnormal cases (ASCUS, LSIL and HSIL) were positive p16INK4a. For the 111 HPV DNA positive cases, 34 of 49 (69.4%) ASCUS cases and 49 of 60 (81.7%) LSIL cases were p16INK4a positive. 140 biopsies were taken and histological classified: CIN negative (65 cases), CIN I (56 cases) and CIN II-III (19 cases). HPV DNA detection predicted CIN II-III with sensitivity and specificity of 84% and 49%, whereas p16INK4a staining showed higher sensitivity (89.5%) and specificity (56.2%). The prediction of CIN II-III was significantly better by combination of positive HPV DNA and p16INK4a with 93.8% sensitivity and 59.2% specificity. Detection of HPV DNA combined with p16INK4a in cervical cells can predict CIN II-III and may improve the screening diagnosis of Thai women at risk for CIN II-III or cancer.     

Distribution and prevalence of human papillomavirus genotypes in routine pap smear of 2,470 korean women determined by DNA chip.

PURPOSE: We examined human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distribution and prevalence from routine Pap smear cases in Korean women using DNA Chip.Patients and METHODS: A total of 2,470 cervical specimens from women attending routine Pap smear cytology screening in local hospitals was subjected to HPV test. HPV detection and genotyping were done using DNA Chip.RESULTS: HPV DNA was detected in 44.8% of the patients and in 58.7% of the 861 atypical lesions based on the Bethesda system, including 52.6% of 627 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), 69.0% of 168 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), and 89.4% of 66 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) cases. The most frequently found genotypes in all HPV-positive cases were HPV-16, HPV-52, and HPV-58. HPV-16 was the most prevalent type in within normal limits, ASCUS, and HSIL categories, whereas HPV-51 was most frequently found in LSIL. Multiple infection was identified in about 20% of HPV-positive cases and most of them were that by two different types. HPV-16 was present in the majority of multiple infection cases. A significant decrease in the percentage of multiple infection was observed in HSIL cases compared with ASCUS and LSIL.CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of HPV genotypes in Korean women was revealed to have differences to that of other regions, showing higher frequencies of HPV-52, HPV-58, and HPV-51. HSIL cases were mostly infected by sole HPV-16 whereas LSIL that by various HPV types, suggesting a certain type may become dominant over others as the disease progresses.     

The Impact of Triage for Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance with Human Papillomavirus Testing in Cervical Cancer Screening in Japan

Background: One of the features of cervical cancer screening using the combination of cytology and humanpapillomavirus (HPV) testing is the triage for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US). Theeffectiveness of the triage has been recognized widely. However, there are few reports evaluating this triage process inJapan. Material and Methods: We retrospectively examined the results of cytology and HPV co-testing for cervicalcancer screening in the Oyama area of Tochigi Prefecture between 2012 and 2014. Women who were ASC-US/HPVpositive and had cytologic abnormalities [low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) or worse] were examinedby colposcopy. The results of the colposcopy testing were evaluated. In addition, we also examined the results of thosewho underwent co-testing a year after a ASC-US/HPV-negative result. Results: A total of 21,342 women receivedtheir first screening test during the study period, with 542 (2.5%) found to have ASC-US. Of the ASC-US-positivewomen, 289 (53.3%) were also HPV positive. The prevalence of CIN+ (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or higher)in the ASC-US/HPV-positive group was 63.2%, with 81.8%, 16.4% and 4.8%. showing CIN 1, CIN 2 and CIN 3+,respectively. The prevalence of CIN+ in the LSIL group was 66.8%, with the majority having a low risk CIN 1 (76.6%)compared to CIN 2 (18.6%), and CIN 3+ (4.8%). No significant difference was observed between the LSIL and ASC-US/HPV-positive groups. The prevalence of women diagnosed with CIN in the ASC-US/HPV-negative group, followingco-testing a year after colposcopy was low (3%). Conclusions: The ASC-US/HPV-positive group was comparable tothe LSIL group in terms of prevalence of CIN+ lesions. Furthermore, low CIN prevalence after one year in the ASCUS/HPV-negative group provides confirmation that the screening interval could be extended. The application of HPVtriage (which is routine in other countries) to identify these groups would be of benefit in Japan.     

高危型HPV E6/E7mRNA检测在宫颈机会性筛查中应用价值研究

目的 人乳头瘤病毒(human papillomavirus,HPV) DNA能提高检测宫颈上皮内瘤变2级+(cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+,CIN2+)的灵敏度,但也增加了一过性HPV感染的检出率.本研究应用高危型HPV(high risk human papillomavirus,hrHPV) E6/E7 mRNA对比二代杂交捕获(hybrid CaptureⅡ,HC2)、HPV分型,描述机会性筛查人群中HPV感染及宫颈病变分布特征,探讨其用于宫颈筛查的可行性.方法 选取2013-01-01-2015-12-31在青岛大学附属青岛市立医院(6 138例)和青岛市城阳区人民医院(1 653例)妇科门诊行宫颈液基细胞学筛查的女性共计7 791例,年龄21～65岁.所有筛查女性行液基细胞学检查的同时行HPV检测,根据HPV检测方法的不同分为HC2组、HPV分型组和E6/E7组共3组.计算各组细胞学结果异常率、HPV阳性率和宫颈病变检出率,比较E6/E7所描述的流行病学特征与HPV-DNA方法的不同.结果 E6/E7组各级细胞学结果分别为,未见上皮内瘤变及恶性病变(negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy,NILM) 87.51％,意义不明的非典型鳞状细胞(atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance,ASCUS)5.47％,低级别鳞状上皮内瘤变(low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion,LSIL)3.51％,不除外高级别鳞状上皮内瘤变的非典型细胞(atypical squamous cells cannot exclude HSIL,ASC-H)0.52％,高级别鳞状上皮内瘤变(high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion,HSIL)2.99％.HPV阳性中异常细胞学结果的比例明显高于HPV阴性,而NILM的比例低于HPV阴性,P＜0.001.随着细胞学异常程度的加重,HPV阳性率逐渐增高,差异有统计学意义,x2值分别为611.089、512.036和767.260,P值均＜0.001.E6/E7组中NILM的HPV阳性率为8.02％,合计阳性率为14.73％,均较HC2及分型组低,x2=30.174,P=0.000;x2 =22.991,P＜0.001.

Atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion: diagnostic performance, human papillomavirus testing, and follow-up results

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend colposcopy rather than high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing for the evaluation of abnormal cervical cytology interpreted as "atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion" (ASC-H) based on data from the Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance/Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (ASCUS/LSIL) Triage Study (ALTS), which indicated that ASC-H had a significantly greater frequency of high-risk HPV positivity and underlying high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) compared with ASCUS. The cytologic interpretations in the ALTS were expert consensus diagnoses rather than routine, single-pathologist readings. METHODS: The authors conducted a comparative analysis of Hybrid Capture 2 high-risk HPV positivity and frequency of histologically diagnosed HSIL for ASC-H and ASCUS to evaluate the performance of ASC-H as a cytologic interpretation subcategory and the potential utility of HPV testing for colposcopy triage of ASC-H in routine practice. RESULTS: Sixty-four of 96 patients with ASC-H (66.7%) were HPV-positive compared with 484 of 1079 patients with ASCUS (44.9%). Among the patients who had histologic follow-up, HSIL was identified in 18 of 45 patients (40.0%) with HPV-positive ASC-H compared with 27 of 266 patients (10.2%) with HPV-positive ASCUS (P < 0.0001) and 1 of 22 patients (4.5%) with HPV-negative ASC-H (P = 0.003); the latter result was similar to the finding of HSIL in 5 of 85 patients (5.9%) with HPV-negative ASCUS. The frequency of HPV-positive ASC-H in the current study (67%) was lower than that obtained in the ALTS for ASC-H (86%) but higher than that for ASCUS in both this study (45%) and in the ALTS (51% for all ASC; 63% for ASCUS, equivocal for LSIL). Underlying HSIL was detected in a similar percentage of patients with HPV-positive ASC-H in this study and in the ALTS (41%). CONCLUSIONS: The greater frequency of HPV positivity and the significantly increased risk of underlying HSIL for ASC-H compared with ASCUS indicated that ASC-H category utilization and performance are appropriate in this routine clinical practice setting. The lower frequency of HPV positivity for ASC-H compared with the ALTS data and the similar low risk of HSIL in HPV-negative ASC-H and HPV-negative ASCUS indicate that HPV testing for triage of ASC-H in routine practice has the potential to reduce the number of women who are referred for colposcopy without an increased risk of failure to detect HSIL among HPV-negative women, similar to its triage role for ASCUS.     

Evaluation of quantity and staining pattern of human papillomavirus (HPV)-infected epithelial cells in thin-layer cervical specimens using optimized HPV-CARD assay

BACKGROUND: Testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) is used in the triage of women with a cervical cytology of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS). A fluorescent in situ hybridization assay was developed for the detection of HPV using the catalyzed receptor deposition technique (HPV-CARD). In this study, the utility of this assay was tested for the detection of HPV in liquid-based cervical cytology specimens. METHODS: A total of 195 liquid-based cytology specimens were analyzed using the HPV-CARD assay. The results from the assay were compared with HPV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and typing results. The number of HPV-infected cells and the staining pattern was correlated with the cytology classification. RESULTS: A 91% concordance between HPV-CARD and PCR was observed for the detection of high-risk HPV viruses. A 78% concordance was observed for specimens that were negative for HPV. In ASCUS, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) categories, the average number of HPV-positive cells per slide was 19 cells, 127 cells, and 450 cells, respectively. The number of cells with a punctate staining, suggestive of HPV integration, was 21% in ASCUS, 34% in LSIL, and 46% in HSIL specimens. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the current study indicate positive correlations between the severity of the disease and the increased overall quantity of HPV-positive epithelial cells in cervical cytology specimens and accumulation of cells with punctate staining suggestive of integrated HPV. In summary, the developed HPV-CARD assay was found to provide novel information regarding the proportion and staining pattern of HPV-infected epithelial cells in different cytologic categories of cervical specimens.     

p16/ki-67 dual-stain cytology in the triage of ASCUS and LSIL papanicolaou cytology: results from the European equivocal or mildly abnormal Papanicolaou cytology study

BACKGROUND:

The objective of this study was to analyze the diagnostic performance of a newly established immunocytochemical dual‐stain protocol, which simultaneously detects p16^INK4a and Ki‐67 expression in cervical cytology samples, for identifying high‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) in women with Papanicolaou (Pap) cytology results categorized as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or low‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL).

METHODS:

Residual liquid‐based cytology material from 776 retrospectively collected ASCUS/LSIL cases that were available from a recent study evaluating p16 cytology and HPV testing were subjected to p16/Ki‐67 dual staining. The presence of 1 or more double‐immunoreactive cell(s) was regarded as a positive test outcome, irrespective of morphology. Test results were correlated to histology follow‐up.

RESULTS:

Sensitivity of p16/Ki‐67 dual‐stain cytology for biopsy‐confirmed CIN2+ was 92.2% (ASCUS) and 94.2% (LSIL), while specificity rates were 80.6% (ASCUS) and 68.0% (LSIL), respectively. Similar sensitivity/specificity profiles were found for both age groups of women aged <30 years versus women aged ≥30 years. Dual‐stain cytology showed comparable sensitivity, but significantly higher specificity, when compared with human papillomavirus (HPV) testing.

CONCLUSIONS:

The results of this study show that p16/Ki‐67 dual‐stain cytology provided a high sensitivity for the detection of underlying CIN2+ in women with ASCUS or LSIL Pap cytology results, comparable to the rates previously reported for HPV testing and p16 single‐stain cytology. However, the specificity of this morphology‐independent interpretation of p16/Ki‐67 dual‐stain cytology testing was further improved compared with the earlier p16 single‐stain cytology approach, which required morphology interpretation, and it is significantly higher when compared with HPV testing.

Combined use of cytology,p16 immunostaining and genotyping for triage of women positive for high-risk human papillomavirus at primary screening

Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is very sensitive for primary cervical screening but has low specificity. Triage tests that improve specificity but maintain high sensitivity are needed. Women enrolled in the experimental arm of Phase 2 of the New Technologies for Cervical Cancer randomized controlled cervical screening trial were tested for high-risk HPV (hrHPV) and referred to colposcopy if positive. hrHPV-positive women also had HPV genotyping (by polymerase chain reaction with GP5+/GP6+ primers and reverse line blotting), immunostaining for p16 overexpression and cytology. We computed sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) for different combinations of tests and determined potential hierarchical ordering of triage tests. A number of 1,091 HPV-positive women had valid tests for cytology, p16 and genotyping. Ninety-two of them had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2+ (CIN2+) histology and 40 of them had CIN grade 3+ (CIN3+) histology. The PPV for CIN2+ was >10% in hrHPV-positive women with positive high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (61.3%), positive low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL+) (18.3%) and positive atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (14.8%) cytology, p16 positive (16.7%) and, hierarchically, for infections by HPV33, 16, 35, 59, 31 and 52 (in decreasing order). Referral of women positive for either p16 or LSIL+ cytology had 97.8% sensitivity for CIN2+ and women negative for both of these had a 3-year CIN3+ risk of 0.2%. Similar results were seen for women being either p16 or HPV16/33 positive. hrHPV-positive women who were negative for p16 and cytology (LSIL threshold) had a very low CIN3+ rate in the following 3 years. Recalling them after that interval and referring those positive for either test to immediate colposcopy seem to be an efficient triage strategy. The same applies to p16 and HPV16.

Histopathologic extent of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 lesions in the atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion triage study: implications for subject safety and lead-time bias.

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3) is the precursor of mostsquamous carcinomas and serves as a surrogate end point. However, small CIN3 lesions are rarely associated with concurrent invasion. We hypothesized that aggressive follow-up for cytology of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) leads predominantly to detection of smaller CIN3 lesions than those usually associated with cancer. We assessed this hypothesis in a masked histopathologic review of 330 CIN3 lesions in the ASCUS LSILTriage Study, focusing on ASCUS referrals. ASCUS referrals underwent randomized management [colposcopy for repeat cytology of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), colposcopy for oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) detection or repeat HSIL, or immediate colposcopy]; then all were followed with repeat cytology for 2 years, followed by colposcopy and aggressive treatment. We assessed all CIN3 lesions qualitatively and measured 39 of them. CIN3 lesions were overwhelmingly small. Compared with enrollment, lesions found at follow-up or exit involved fewer tissue fragments (P < 0.01) and showed less diffuse gland involvement (P = 0.03). CIN3 lesions found postenrollment after HPV testing involved the fewest tissue fragments [versus immediate colposcopy (P = 0.04) or repeat cytology of HSIL (P = 0.02)], and none showed diffuse gland involvement. The median distal-proximal length was 6.5 mm (median replacement of total epithelium = 5%) in the 39 measured cases. We conclude that CIN3 lesions underlying ASCUS or LSIL generally lack features associated with invasion, particularly if managed using HPV testing, suggesting that aggressive management leads to early detection of CIN3 but probably prevents relatively few cancers in screened populations.     

Long‐term HPV type‐specific risks for ASCUS and LSIL: A 14‐year follow‐up of a randomized primary HPV screening trial

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections result in a significant burden of low‐grade cervical lesions. Between 1997 and 2000, our randomized trial of primary HPV screening enrolled 12,527 women participating in population‐based screening. Women between 32 and 38 years of age (median: 34, interquartile range: 33–37) were randomized to HPV and cytology double testing (intervention arm, n = 6,257 enrolled, n = 5,888 followed‐up) or to cytology, with samples frozen for future HPV testing (control arm, n = 6,270 enrolled, n = 5,795 followed‐up). We estimated the HPV type‐specific, long‐term absolute risks (AR), and population attributable proportions (PAR) for cytological diagnoses of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or low‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and for histopathologically diagnosed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1). The women were followed using comprehensive, nationwide register‐based follow‐up. During a mean follow‐up time of 11.07 years, 886 ASCUS and LSIL lesions were detected, 448 in the intervention arm and 438 in the control arm. Poisson regression estimated the incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of low‐grade lesions by HPV type. The IRRs were strongly dependent on follow‐up time. The IRRs for ASCUS/LSIL associated with high‐risk HPV positivity were 18.6 (95% CI: 14.9–23.4) during the first screening round, 4.1 (95% CI: 2.8–6.2) during the second, 2.6 (95% CI: 1.7–4.1) during the third, and 1.1 (95% CI: 0.7–1.8) for >9 years of follow‐up, with similar declines seen for the individual types. Type 16 contributed consistently to the greatest proportion of ASCUS, LSIL, and CIN1 risk in the population (first screening round PAR: ASCUS: 15.5% (95% CI: 9.7–21.9), LSIL: 14.7% (95% CI: 8.0–20.9), and CIN1: 13.4% (95% CI: 3.2–22.5)), followed by type 31 [8.4% (95% CI: 4.2–12.5) for ASCUS to 17.3% (95% CI: 6.8–26.6) for CIN1]. In summary, most ASCUS/LSIL lesions associated with HPV infection are caused by new HPV infections and most lesions are found during the first screening round.     

Population-based prevalence, type- and age-specific distribution of HPV in women before introduction of an HPV-vaccination program in Denmark

Knowledge about the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) on a population level is important. We conducted a large population-based study in Denmark to determine the overall and age-specific HPV prevalence, and HPV type distribution in women. Liquid-based cytology samples (SurePath) were collected consecutively. HPV testing was performed with Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2; Digene) (high-risk and low-risk probes), and LiPA (Innogenetics) was used for genotyping. We analyzed samples from 11,617 women; 94.0% had normal cytology, 4.3% atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and 1.6% had high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). The HPV prevalence was 26.4% with a peak in women 20-24 years (50.2%) and then decreased without a second peak in older women. Among the youngest women (15-19 years), 14% had HPV 16/18 and 16% had HPV 6/11. Prevalence of high-risk HPV types increased from 19.2% in women with normal cytology to 100% in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3)/cervical cancer. HPV 16 was the most prevalent type (6.0% of all women), and was also the most prevalent in women with HSIL (35.1%) and CIN3 (53.2%). Other common HPV types in women with CIN3 included HPV 52, 51, 31, 33 and 18. HPV 16/18 alone was present in 23% of CIN3 lesions and 67% of cervical cancers, and HPV 16/18 together with other high-risk HPV types was present in 41% of CIN3 lesions. This suggests that an efficacious HPV 16/18 vaccine will have a substantial preventive potential in the general female population.

Reliable identification of women with CIN3+ using hrHPV genotyping and methylation markers in a cytology-screened referral population

Cervical screening aims to identify women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2-3 (HSIL/CIN2-3) or invasive cervical cancer (ICC). Identification of women with severe premalignant lesions or ICC (CIN3+) could ensure their rapid treatment and prevent overtreatment. We investigated high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) detection with genotyping and methylation of FAM19A4/miR124-2 for detection of CIN3+ in 538 women attending colposcopy for abnormal cytology. All women had an additional cytology with hrHPV testing (GP5+/6+-PCR-EIA+), genotyping (HPV16/18, HPV16/18/31/45), and methylation analysis (FAM19A4/miR124-2) and at least one biopsy. CIN3+ detection was studied overall and in women <30 (n = 171) and ≥30 years (n = 367). Positivity for both rather than just one methylation markers increased in CIN3, and all ICC was positive for both. Overall sensitivity and specificity for CIN3+ were, respectively, 90.3% (95%CI 81.3–95.2) and 31.8% (95%CI 27.7–36.1) for hrHPV, 77.8% (95%CI 66.9–85.8) and 69.3% (95%CI 65.0–73.3) for methylation biomarkers and 93.1% (95%CI 84.8–97.0) and 49.4% (95%CI 44.8–53.9) for combined HPV16/18 and/or methylation positivity. For CIN3, hrHPV was found in 90.9% (95%CI 81.6–95.8), methylation positivity in 75.8% (95%CI 64.2–84.5) and HPV16/18 and/or methylation positivity in 92.4% (95%CI 83.5–96.7). In women aged ≥30, the sensitivity of combined HPV16/18 and methylation was increased (98.2%, 95%CI 90.6–99.7) with a specificity of 46.3% (95%CI 40.8–51.9). Combination of HPV16/18 and methylation analysis was very sensitive and offered improved specificity for CIN3+, opening the possibility of rapid treatment for these women and follow-up for women with potentially regressive, less advanced, HSIL/CIN2 lesions.     

Different risk factor patterns for high-grade and low-grade intraepithelial lesions on the cervix among HPV-positive and HPV-negative young women

Risk factors for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia have most often been studied in high-grade lesions. Furthermore, in a high proportion of the studies, human papillomavirus (HPV), the most significant risk determinant of cervical neoplasia, was not taken into account when evaluating other risk factors. To compare risk factors for ASCUS (atypical cells of undetermined significance), LSIL (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) and HSIL (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion), we conducted a case-control study among 20 to 29 year-old women participating in a prospective cohort study in Copenhagen. It included 131 women with ASCUS, 120 women with LSIL, 79 women with HSIL and 1,000 randomly chosen, cytologically normal, control women. All participants had a personal interview and a gynecological examination including a Pap smear and cervical swabs for HPV DNA detection using general primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction. The most significant risk determinant of all 3 disease categories was the presence of genital HPV DNA. The risk factor pattern was nearly identical for ASCUS and LSIL, but differed significantly from that for HSIL. Stratified analysis by HPV-status showed that, apart from, respectively, smoking and parity among HPV-positive women, and smoking and number of sex partners among HPV-negative women, no additional risk factors were observed for ASCUS and LSIL. In contrast, among HPV-negative women with HSIL, long-term use of oral contraceptives was the most important risk factor. However, our result should be taken with great caution as it is based on very small numbers, and as it is unknown whether the HPV-negative lesions constitute a true entity. Among HPV-positive women, the risk of HSIL was associated with e.g., years of sex life without barrier contraceptive use, early age at first genital warts and smoking. Whether the risk factors that are applicable only to HSIL represent factors related to progression remains unknown. Int. J. Cancer 76:613–619, 1998.© 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Single and multiple high-risk and low-risk Human Papillomavirus association with cervical lesions of 11,224 women in Jakarta

Purpose

We sought to evaluate prevalence, age-adjusted distribution, and impact of single and multiple high- and low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes and their associations with cervical lesions.

Methods

Data were extracted from 11,224 women who underwent routine screening of HPV genotyping and liquid-based cytology co-testing. Fifteen high-risk (HR) and six low-risk (LR) HPV types were genotyped.

Results

Overall HPV prevalence was 10.7 %, and young women (under 21 years old) harbored highest HPV infection rate (40.38 %). The rate declined in old women 9.49 % (age 30–49) and 6.89 % (age 50 and above). Normal cytology had lowest HPV (5.66 %) compared to low-grade (60.49 %), high-grade (71.96 %) squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL and HSIL) and squamous cell carcinoma SCC (86.9 %). LR HPV subtypes were absent in SCC and were consistently lower than HR HPV in LSIL (6.74 vs. 33.54 %) and HSIL (2.12 vs. 51.32 %). Multiple HPV infection was more frequent in young women under 30 years old (10 %) than older women (2 %) and in LSIL (20.2 %), HSIL (18.5 %) than SCC (4.4 %). HR HPV 52, 16, 18, and 58 were the most frequent subtypes in normal, LSIL, and HSIL. Greater or equal proportion of HPV 16, 18, 45, and 52 was found in SCC compared to normal cytology (SCC/normal ratios 4.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 1.7). While important in LSIL and HSIL, HPV58 was not detected in SCC.

Conclusion

Taken together, identification of these HPV types, especially HPV 16, 18, 45, and 52, and their associated cervical lesions may improve cervical cancer preventive strategies in Indonesia.
