Background: According to the American Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), a co-test is recommended for patients one year after the detection of non-HPV 16/18 viral types in association with a negative cervical cytology. In this study, we used immediate colposcopy to evaluate the risks to the patient during the one year waiting period.

Methods: We included 544 Hpv-positive/cervical cytology-negative patients who underwent cervical cancer screening from June 2015 to June 2017. Cytological specimens were classified using the Bethesta method on a liquid based preparation. We used the Hybrid Capture 2 system to define HPV DNA. Biopsies were performed on all patients under colposcopy.

Results: Three hundred and seventy-five patients had HPV types 16/18 and 169 had non-HPV-16/18 oncogenic types. Of the 169 patients who had non-HPV-16/18 oncogenic types, 151 (89%) had no dysplasia, 16 (9.4%) had CIN 1, and 2 (1.1%) had CIN 2/CIN 3.

Conclusion: For the patients who had cervical cytology negative/non-HPV-16/18 positive, we detected that 1.1% of these women had CIN 2-3. For this reason, by chasing the algorithm recommended by guidelines, gynecologists take risk missing a diagnosis of CIN 2 plus lesion in 1.1% of patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Research on HPV prevalence and women's awareness in Shanghai is limited, prompting a study involving 6,619 women aged 21-65 to assess risk factors and knowledge about HPV before vaccine introduction.
  • The study found a 9.5% positivity rate for high-risk HPV, with factors such as education level, vaginitis, and family cancer history identified as significant independent risk factors for infection.
  • Women with graduate-level education exhibited higher knowledge regarding cervical cancer and screening compared to others, and the overall HPV prevalence in Shanghai was lower than in other regions, possibly due to differences in demographics and lifestyle.

Background: Factors that lead human papillomavirus (HPV) infections to persist and progress to cancer are not fully understood. We evaluated co-factors for acquisition, persistence, and progression of non-HPV-16/18 infections among HPV-vaccinated women.

Methods: We analyzed 2153 women aged 18-25 years randomized to the HPV-vaccine arm of the Costa Rica HPV Vaccine Trial.

Objectives: According to the American Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), cervical cytology patients who test positive for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and the human papilloma virus (HPV) positive are recommended to undergo colposcopies. This study compared the colposcopic biopsy evaluation results of patients with positive cervical cytology results for ASCUS and HPV with regards to their HPV genotypes.

Methods: This study included 179 patients who underwent cervical cancer screening tests between June 2015 and June 2017 and whose results displayed positive cervical cervical cytology results for ASCUS and HPV.

Purpose: Cervical cancer is the most frequently diagnosed female cancer in The Gambia, representing approximately 30 % of cases. In 2014, the quadrivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine was introduced, which offers protection against HPV genotypes 6, 11, 16 and 18. To evaluate the potential effectiveness of this vaccine, genotype distribution and risk factor analysis were assessed.
