Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration is a crucial genetic step in cervical carcinogenesis. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of an HPV integration test for the triage of HPV-positive women.
An observational cohort study.
A cervical cancer screening programme in China.
1393 HPV-positive women aged 25-65 years undergoing routine cervical cancer screening and HPV integration testing with 1-year follow-up.
The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value between HPV integration and cytology were compared.
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or more severe (CIN3+).
Among 1393 HPV-positive patients, 138 (9.9% [8.3-11.5%]) were HPV integration test positive compared with 537 who had abnormal cervical cytology (38.5% [36.0-41.1%]). Compared with cytology, HPV integration exhibited higher specificity (94.5% [93.3-95.8%] versus 63.8% [61.2-66.4%]) and equivalent sensitivity (70.5% [61.4-79.7%] versus 70.5% [61.4-79.7%]) for detection of CIN3+. HPV integration-negative women accounted for 90.1% (1255/1393) of the total population and had a low immediate CIN3+ risk (2.2%). At 1-year follow-up, the progression rate in the HPV integration-positive women was higher than in the HPV integration-negative women (12.0% versus 2.1%, odds ratio 5.6, 95% CI, 2.6-11.9). In 10 conservatively managed integration-negative CIN2 patients, all showed spontaneous regression and seven showed HPV clearance after 1-year follow-up.
The HPV integration test may be a precise risk stratification tool for HPV-positive women and could avoid excessive use of invasive biopsies.
人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)整合是宫颈癌发生的关键遗传步骤。本研究旨在评估 HPV 整合检测在 HPV 阳性女性中的分流作用。
一项观察性队列研究。
中国宫颈癌筛查项目。
1393 名年龄在 25-65 岁之间的 HPV 阳性妇女,接受常规宫颈癌筛查和 HPV 整合检测,并进行为期 1 年的随访。
比较 HPV 整合与细胞学之间的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值。
宫颈上皮内瘤变 3 级或更高级别(CIN3+)。
在 1393 名 HPV 阳性患者中,有 138 名(9.9%[8.3-11.5%])HPV 整合检测阳性,而 537 名患者宫颈细胞学异常(38.5%[36.0-41.1%])。与细胞学相比,HPV 整合显示出更高的特异性(94.5%[93.3-95.8%]比 63.8%[61.2-66.4%])和相当的敏感性(70.5%[61.4-79.7%]比 70.5%[61.4-79.7%]),用于检测 CIN3+。HPV 整合阴性的妇女占总人群的 90.1%(1255/1393),其立即发生 CIN3+的风险较低(2.2%)。在 1 年随访中,HPV 整合阳性妇女的进展率高于 HPV 整合阴性妇女(12.0%比 2.1%,优势比 5.6,95%CI,2.6-11.9)。在 10 例保守治疗的整合阴性 CIN2 患者中,所有患者均出现自发消退,7 例在 1 年随访后 HPV 清除。
HPV 整合检测可能是 HPV 阳性妇女精确的风险分层工具,可以避免过度使用有创性活检。
