Article Synopsis
- Primary HPV screening was introduced in the UK between 2018 and 2020 to enhance cervical cancer detection, while earlier practices included HPV triage for low-grade cytology since 2012; this study evaluates adherence to NHS standards and related outcomes.
- A retrospective audit of women referred from 2016 to 2018 found that 1.2% had high-risk HPV with borderline changes, with a median age of 29.5, and the majority showed high-grade dysplasia upon biopsy.
- The study concludes that borderline changes in endocervical cells are rare but should be regarded as high-risk, recommending diagnostic biopsies for women at initial colposcopy and suggesting further treatment options based on various patient factors.
