Genital papillomavirus infection after treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) III 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection was studied in 150 women after conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade three (CIN III). Colposcopically directed biopsies were taken from the cervix and vulva for histopathological diagnosis. 77 specimens were further analyzed immunohistochemically for the presence of HPV capsid antigen. In ten randomly selected cervical biopsies cellular DNA was dot blot hybridized with HPV 6/11 and 16/18 DNA probes. Genital warts were seen in 10 (7%) of the patients. Among the routine cytological smears, HPV infection was only reported in 3 (2%). In 87/142 (61%) of the cervical tissues koilocytes were found. A further 9/142 (6%) associated with CIN. Of the vulvar biopsies 91/145 (63%) contained koilocytes. A further 12/145 (8%) were associated with vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. HPV capsid proteins were detected in 35/77 (45%) of the cervical and in 20/41 (49%) of the vulva biopsies. All cervical DNA samples hybridized with probes for HPV 6/11 and two also reacted with the HPV 16/18 probes. Conclusion: A latent HPV infection of the cervix or vulva, can be detected in 85% of the women previously treated for CIN III by conization. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to assess the effect of CO2 laser (vaporization, conization), 5-FU topical application and interferon alpha-2a parenterally in the therapy of GIN. Three hundred and forty-seven (347) women with CIN were treated with CO2 laser (vaporization, conization), 5-FU topical application and interferon alpha-2a parenterally. The cure rates in the various treatment groups were analysed by the chi(2) test. The most effective treatment used for CIN I was the combination of CO2 laser vaporization plus 5-FU (p<0.05). The most effective treatment used for CIN II was the combination of CO2 laser vaporization plus 5-FU (p<0.001). The treatment modalities used for patients with CIN III achieved the same therapeutic results (p>0.1). The addition of interferon does not achieve better cure rates in patients with CIN. 相似文献

This case-control analysis presents odds ratios for active and passive cigarette smoke exposure and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of levels II and III (CIN II and CIN III) while controlling for confounders. From 1987 to 1988, 103 biopsy-conformed incident cases of CIN II or III and 268 controls with normal cervical cytology were enrolled. Seventy % of cases were cigarette smokers, while only 30% of controls had ever smoked. The adjusted odds ratio for current cigarette smoking was 3.4 (95% confidence interval, 1.7-7.0). The following confounders were included in logistic regression models: age, race, education, number of sex partners, contraceptive use, sexually transmitted disease history, and Pap smear history. The risk of CIN II/III increased with increasing years of cigarette smoking and with increasing pack-years of exposure. Smoking was associated more strongly with CIN III than CIN II. The effect of passive cigarette smoke exposure was explored separately for smokers and nonsmokers and was found not to be consistently associated with CIN II/III when controlling for confounders. 相似文献

A systematic review of the literature was conducted to determine the estimates of and definitions for human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence in women following treatment of cervical intra‐epithelial neoplasia (CIN). A total of 45 studies presented data on post‐treatment HPV persistence among 6,106 women. Most studies assessed HPV persistence after loop excision (42%), followed by conization (7%), cryotherapy (11%), laser treatment (4%), interferon‐alpha, therapeutic vaccination, and photodynamic therapy (2% each) and mixed treatment (38%). Baseline HPV testing was conducted before or at treatment for most studies (96%). Follow‐up HPV testing ranged from 1.5 to 80 months after baseline. Median HPV persistence tended to decrease with increasing follow‐up time, declining from 27% at 3 months after treatment to 21% at 6 months, 15% at 12 months, and 10% at 24 months. Post‐treatment HPV persistence estimates varied widely and were influenced by patient age, HPV‐type, detection method, treatment method, and minimum HPV post‐treatment testing interval. Loop excision and conization appeared to outperform cryotherapy procedures in terms of their ability to clear HPV infection. This systematic review provides evidence for the substantial heterogeneity in post‐treatment HPV DNA testing practices and persistence estimates. 相似文献

Persistent human papillomavirus infection and smoking increase risk of failure of treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Women with abnormal smears have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer. During the 8 years following conservative treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), their risk of invasive cervical cancer is about 5 times greater than that of the general population. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been associated with the natural history of both CIN and cervical cancer. To date, there have been no published reports on the predictive value of HPV testing in the treatment outcome of CIN. A prospective, multi-center, cohort study was conducted on women in the Northwest of England who were attending for treatment of CIN. They were asked to complete a questionnaire, which included a detailed smoking history. Pre- and post-treatment HPV testing was performed on cervical biopsies and cervical swab, being taken with the first follow-up smear at 6 months. A nested case-control analysis was performed, cases being defined as women who developed CIN within the 2 years of treatment and controls being sampled from those who did not experience treatment failure within 2 years. Multiple conditional logistic regression is used to study the factors associated with treatment failure of CIN. The cohort included 958 women of whom 77 (8%) experienced treatment failure (cases). Two controls were matched to each case (154). Smoking status was significantly associated with CIN treatment failure(p= 0.0013). Current smokers had a 3-fold increased risk of treatment failure of CIN as compared to non-smokers (95% CI 1.65 to 5.91). Five hundred twenty-five women underwent HPV sampling following treatment, of whom 47 (8.9%) developed further CIN. Post-treatment positive HPV testing was found to be strongly associated with treatment failure of CIN (OR 23.3; 95% CI 3.15-172.1). In 11/45 cases with negative smear at first follow-up, the HPV test was positive. The combination of both HPV and cytology in the first follow-up visit predicted treatment failure in 72% of the cases. Cigarette smoking is a factor, which, independently of HPV infection, influences the treatment outcome of CIN. Smokers and those who are HPV positive during follow-up appear to require longer, more intensive follow-up. HPV testing requires careful consideration as part of routine follow-up protocol following treatment of CIN. 相似文献

The temporal relationship between cervical infection with Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) or human papillomavirus (HPV) and the incidence rate of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade three (CIN III) was examined in a cohort of 43,016 Norwegian women. From 1980 to 1989, a cervico-vaginal infection from TV and HPV was diagnosed cytologically in 988 and 678 women, respectively. During the 181,240 person-years of observation, 440 cases of CIN III/cervical cancer developed. The age-adjusted incidence rates (IR) of CIN III were 225 per 100,000 person-years among women with no cytologic evidence of infection,459 among women with TV infection, and 729 among women with HPV infection. A multiple regression model yielded a relative rate (RR) of CIN III of 2.1 (95 percent confidence interval [CI]=1.3–3.4) among women with TV infection and 3.5 (CI=1.9–6.6) among women with HPV infection, compared with women with neither infection. As CIN can be misclassified as HPV infection, the entry Pap-smears of 10 women with HPV infection who later developed CIN III were re-examined. Excluding the four discordant cases with the corresponding person-years decreased the RR of CIN III to 2.1 (CI=0.9–4.8). Our report demonstrates the limitations of studies that rely only on cytologic detection of HPV infection. Nevertheless, the results support the hypothesis that HPV is a causal factor for CIN III lesions, and also display an association between TV infection and cervical neoplasia.Dr Gram is a research fellow of the Norwegian Cancer Society. This study was supported in part by a grant from the Aakre Foundation for the fighting of cancer and a grant from the University of Tromsö. A summary of this paper was presented at the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting, Atlanta, GA, USA, 10–14 November 1991. 相似文献

258 patients with dysplastic cervical lesions reclassified as CIN 1-3 and AIM 1-3 and with up to ten years of follow-up were immunostained with monoclonal antibodies against blood group isoantigens and involucrin for expression in normal and dysplastic squamous epithelium. The results show a varied staining pattern with a majority of unchanged staining properties in normal and dysplastic epithelium, the same frequency of increase as decrease in dysplasia and no correlation to progression or recurrence, in variance with previous reports. 相似文献

Persistent infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV) is a prerequisite for the development of cervical cancer. Vaccination with virus-like particles (VLP) has demonstrated efficacy in prophylaxis but lacks therapeutic potential. HPV16 L1E7 chimeric virus-like particles (CVLP) consist of a carboxy-terminally truncated HPV16L1 protein fused to the amino-terminal part of the HPV16 E7 protein and self-assemble by recombinant expression of the fusion protein. The CVLP are able to induce L1- and E7-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. We have performed a first clinical trial to gain information about the safety and to generate preliminary data on the therapeutic potential of the CVLP in humans. A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial has been conducted in 39 HPV16 mono-infected high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) patients (CIN 2/3). Two doses (75 mug or 250 mug) of CVLP were applied. The duration of the study was 24 weeks with 2 optional visits after another 12 and 24 weeks. The vaccine showed a very good safety profile with only minor adverse events attributable to the immunization. Antibodies with high titers against HPV16 L1 and low titers against HPV16 E7 as well as cellular immune responses against both proteins were induced. Responses were equivalent for both vaccine concentrations. A trend for histological improvement to CIN 1 or normal was seen in 39% of the patients receiving the vaccine and only 25% of the placebo recipients. Fifty-six percent of the responders were also HPV16 DNA-negative by the end of the study. Therefore, we demonstrated evidence for safety and a nonsignificant trend for the clinical efficacy of the HPV16 L1E7 CVLP vaccine. 相似文献

The role of nutrient-related genetic susceptibility factors for pre-cancerous lesions is gaining attention. We conducted a study to examine associations between polymorphisms in folate pathway coenzymes (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR] and methionine synthase [MS]) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2 or 3 in a population exposed to folic acid by the food fortification program in the United States. Status of MTHFR and MS and circulating concentrations of folate, vitamins B12, A, E, C and total carotene were ascertained in 170 Caucasian and 266 African-American women positive for high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV). Polymorphism status was determined using polymerase chain reaction assays. Micronutrient concentrations were measured using radiobinding assays, high performance liquid chromatography or spectrophotometry. Presence/absence of CIN 2 or 3 was determined on the basis of histology results and the association with risk factors was examined using multivariable analyses. Eighty women had CIN 2 or 3 lesions and they were compared to 356 women who had CIN 1, ASCUS or normal cytology. We found that women polymorphic for MTHFR were less likely to have CIN 2 or 3 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.23-0.79). No associations were seen with MS polymorphism alone (OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.43-1.21); however, women polymorphic for both MTHFR and MS were less likely to have CIN 2 or 3 (OR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.08-0.62). We conclude that these polymorphisms in the folate metabolic pathway were associated with a lower likelihood of CIN 2 or 3 in a population exposed to adequate amounts of folate from exposure to food fortification with folic acid. 相似文献

At the Institute of Pathology and Applied Cytology, 619 cases of conization or hysterectomies for CIS had been reviewed, through the study of 6,439 slides: 263 cases from the years 1957-1968, 287 cases from the years 1981-1983, have been studied. In the 1957-1968 group, a condylomatous lesion was associated with CINIII/CIS in 60% and in 79% in the 1981-1983 group. The relationship between the condylomatous lesions and the CIS, the grade of these lesions and the mean age of the patients had been examined. In the both groups, the HPV signs had been more frequently discovered in the younger women. But a difference of 4 years was found between the patients with CINIII without any sign of HPV infection and those with a CINIII/CIS associated with a condyloma. These data support the hypothesis of a lessening and a later disappearance of the HPV signs when the neoplasias become more severe. In both groups, the relationship between the signs of HPV infection and the grade of the cervical epithelial atypias are exactly the same. These lesions, more often extended, with a transitional passage between CIN with HPV cytopathological effects and CIS, comfort the hypothesis of a straight relationship between HPV infection and carcinoma of the cervix. 相似文献

Women with both a history of high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN III) and breast carcinoma as second primary cancer were selected for studying the presence of HPV in breast carcinomas. Paraffin embedded material from 38 patients with 41 breast carcinoma cases after CIN III were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization. By PCR we detected HPV 16 DNA in 19 out of 41 cases (46%) of the breast carcinomas. One case proved to be HPV 16 positive also by in situ hybridization. HPV 16 was also detected in 32 out of the 38 patients with CIN III (84%). All HPV 16 positive breast carcinomas were HPV 16 positive in their corresponding CIN III lesions. Eight patients with diagnosed breast cancer before the CIN III lesions were used as controls. None of these had HPV positive breast carcinomas. No cases were positive for HPV 11, 18, or 33. HPV 16 was detected in the primary tumours, in local metastases from HPV 16 positive tumours, in a distant HPV 16 positive breast carcinoma metastasis to the colon, and in other primary cancers in patients with HPV 16 positive breast carcinomas and HPV 16 positive CIN III. Estrogen and progesterone receptors were quantified in the HPV positive and HPV negative breast carcinomas, and there was no significant difference in the fraction positive in the two groups. Oncogenic HPV DNA might be transported from an original site of infection to other organs by blood or lymph, and possibly be a factor in the development of cancer in different organs. 相似文献
