Combination of cervical cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) testing, co-testing, has been increasingly used in screening cervical cancers. The present study summarized the outcome of co-testing by reviewing 3-year clinical and pathological follow-up information.
Patients were retrospectively identified via computerized search and were grouped based on the cytologic diagnosis and HR-HPV status as negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM)/HPV-, NILM/HPV+, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US)/HPV-, ASC-US/HPV+, low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL)/HPV-, LSIL/HPV+, atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H)/HPV-, ASC-H/HPV+, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL)/HPV-, and HSIL/HPV+. The patients' pertinent past medical history and follow-up information were analyzed.
During 3-year follow-up period, histologically proven HSIL was found in 5 of 1565 (0.3%) patients with NILM/HPV-, 7 of 141 (5.0%) with NILM/HPV+, 2 of 502 (0.4%) with ASC-US/HPV-, 30 of 274 (10.9%) with ASC-US/HPV+, 1 of 81 (1.2%) with LSIL/HPV-, 28 of 159 (17.6%) with LSIL/HPV+, 3 of 18 (16.7%) with ASC-H/HPV-, 34 of 69 (49.3%) with ASC-H/HPV+, 7 of 7 (100%) with HSIL/HPV-, and 35 of 56 (62.5%) HSIL/HPV+. In reviewing 12 HSIL cases that were originally diagnosed as NILM, 7 remained as NILM, and the other 5 were reclassified as 1 HSIL, 1 ASC-H, and 3 ASC-US, respectively. In 18 HSIL cases with negative HR-HPV, 12 patients had a prior history of positive HR-HPV testing and/or positive p16 IHC stain in the follow-up cervical biopsy.
HR-HPV testing plays an important role in cervical cancer screening by identifying HSIL in patients with ASC-US, LSIL, and NILM. Co-testing is an optimal method to identifying the patients with higher risk for developing cervical abnormalities.
宫颈细胞学检查与高危型人乳头瘤病毒(HR-HPV)检测相结合的联合检测,已越来越多地用于宫颈癌筛查。本研究通过回顾3年的临床和病理随访信息,总结了联合检测的结果。
通过计算机检索对患者进行回顾性识别,并根据细胞学诊断和HR-HPV状态进行分组,分为上皮内病变或恶性肿瘤阴性(NILM)/HPV-、NILM/HPV+、意义不明确的非典型鳞状细胞(ASC-US)/HPV-、ASC-US/HPV+、低级别鳞状上皮内病变(LSIL)/HPV-、LSIL/HPV+、非典型鳞状细胞,不能排除高级别鳞状上皮内病变(ASC-H)/HPV-、ASC-H/HPV+、高级别鳞状上皮内病变(HSIL)/HPV-和HSIL/HPV+。分析患者的相关既往病史和随访信息。
在3年的随访期间,1565例NILM/HPV-患者中有5例(0.3%)经组织学证实为HSIL,141例NILM/HPV+患者中有7例(5.0%),502例ASC-US/HPV-患者中有2例(0.4%),274例ASC-US/HPV+患者中有30例(10.9%),81例LSIL/HPV-患者中有1例(1.2%),159例LSIL/HPV+患者中有28例(17.6%),18例ASC-H/HPV-患者中有3例(16.7%),69例ASC-H/HPV+患者中有34例(49.3%),7例HSIL/HPV-患者中有7例(100%),56例HSIL/HPV+患者中有35例(62.5%)。在回顾最初诊断为NILM的12例HSIL病例时,7例仍为NILM,另外5例分别重新分类为1例HSIL、1例ASC-H和3例ASC-US。在18例HR-HPV阴性的HSIL病例中,12例患者在后续宫颈活检中有HR-HPV检测阳性和/或p16免疫组化染色阳性的既往史。
HR-HPV检测通过识别ASC-US、LSIL和NILM患者中的HSIL,在宫颈癌筛查中发挥重要作用。联合检测是识别发生宫颈异常风险较高患者的最佳方法。
