HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk of anal cancer. We evaluate the risk factors for anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (the precursor of anal cancer) in HIV-positive MSM.
In this cross-sectional study within a cohort, 320 HIV-positive MSM were screened by anal cytology followed by high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) in case of abnormal cytology. Risk factors for anal HSIL were analysed.
Men were mostly middle-aged Caucasians with median CD4+ T lymphocytes of 638 cells/µL, 87% on combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) for a median of 5 years. 198 anal cytology samples were normal. In the 122 patients with abnormal cytology, HRA with biopsies were performed: 12% (n=15) normal, 36% (n=44) anal low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and 51% (n=63) anal HSIL. Comparing patients with or without anal HSIL (normal cytology or normal biopsy or LSIL), we found in multivariate analysis significantly fewer anal HSIL in patients with cART ≥24 months (OR 0.32 CI 95% 0.162 to 0.631, p=0.001).
Prolonged cART (≥24 months) is associated with fewer anal HSIL.
男男性行为者(MSM)中的HIV阳性者患肛门癌的风险增加。我们评估了HIV阳性MSM发生肛门高级别鳞状上皮内病变(HSIL,肛门癌的前驱病变)的风险因素。
在一项队列中的横断面研究中,对320名HIV阳性MSM进行肛门细胞学筛查,若细胞学异常则进一步进行高分辨率肛门镜检查(HRA)。分析肛门HSIL的风险因素。
研究对象大多为中年白种人,CD4 + T淋巴细胞中位数为638个/µL,87%接受联合抗逆转录病毒治疗(cART),治疗时间中位数为5年。198份肛门细胞学样本正常。在122名细胞学异常的患者中,进行了HRA及活检:12%(n = 15)正常,36%(n = 44)为肛门低级别鳞状上皮内病变(LSIL),51%(n = 63)为肛门HSIL。比较有或无肛门HSIL的患者(细胞学正常或活检正常或为LSIL),我们在多变量分析中发现,接受cART≥24个月的患者中肛门HSIL显著较少(比值比0.32,95%置信区间0.162至0.631,p = 0.001)。
长期cART(≥24个月)与较少的肛门HSIL相关。
