Effect of Human Papillomavirus Subtype on the Rate of Positive Surgical Margin After Cervical Conization.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a risk factor for cervical carcinoma. Over 100 types of HPV have been identified. The excisional procedures are recommended for women with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

The meaning of high-risk HPV other than type 16/18 in women with negative cytology: Is it really safe to wait for 1 year?

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a primary risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV 16 and 18 are the two most carcinogenic genotypes and have been reported in the majority of cervical cancer. High-risk HPVs (hrHPVs) other than HPV 16/18 cause approximately a quarter of cervical cancers.

Is cervical cytology testing as a part of co-test unnecessary for HPV 16/18-infected women? A retrospective cohort study of 1647 women.

Background: We aimed to present the biopsy results of women with HPV 16/18 infection and investigate whether cytology is necessary as a part of routine cervical cancer screening in women with HPV 16/18.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted on 1647 patients between the ages of 30 and 65 years with HPV 16/18 undergoing colposcopy-guided biopsy at a tertiary gynecological cancer center between January-2016 and January-2019. We compared the preinvasive lesion rates and the invasive cervical cancer rates of women with HPV 16/18 between the negative and the abnormal cytology group.
