16 HPV and cervical cancer Establishing a viral aetiology to cervical cancer has led to 1) cervical disease prevention (vaccination) 2) management beyond traditional cytology screening (HPV testing)

17 HPV (direct) tests in current use for cervical disease management Often: Molecular, frequently based on amplification of HPV sequences Broad spectrum/consensus tests, detect a pool of HR HPV types in aggregate* Consensus tests with limited genotyping Examples: Hybrid Capture 2 (Qiagen), COBAS 4800 HPV test (Roche), RealTime High Risk HPV test (Abbott), Cervista HPV HR Test Assay & the Aptima HPV Test (Hologic). More than 200 others! Very sensitive for detecting disease have a high negative predictive value *Detect a common pool of types: 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,68,66.

18 However - HPV is a common virus that often clears Clinical sensitivity of HPV tests often exceeds their clinical specificity i.e. All individuals that have disease that will test HPV positive but not all individuals who are HPV positive will have significant disease Negative predictive value of HPV tests is higher than their positive predictive value i.e. individuals who test HPV negative are unlikely to have the disease but individuals who test HPV positive may not have the disease

19 HPV is common in Scotland 18% HR- HPV in women aged attending for ~280,000 infections routine in screen age cervical women in Scotland. screening

20 What are the indications for HPV testing for the management of cervical disease? Context is key! A As a primary screen With cytology as a triage. Ie START with the more sensitive test and follow-up with a more specific one. B As a triage to refer women with low-grade abnormalities to colposcopy for visual examination of the cervix (and biopsy if indicated). C As a test of cure of treatment of high grade abnormalities To indicate treatment success*

21 Advice and support relating to HPV testing for the Scottish Cervical Screening Programme HPV testing as a Test of Cure of Treatment Major work stream, HPV testing in women treated for cervical lesions as a test of cure. First time HPV testing fully integrated into the Scottish Cervical Screening programme Input into Test of Cure Working Group Design and user acceptance testing of Virology module for IT system (SCCRs) 2010 Since early implementation received 20,000 + Pilot Implementation; Highland, Grampian Lothian Research to investigate/inform optimal test choice for test of cure* 2011 National Roll out 2012 *Cubie HA, Canham M, Moore C, Pedraza J, Graham C, Cuschieri K. Evaluation of commercial HPV assays in the context of posttreatment follow-up: Scottish Test of Cure Study (STOCS-H). J Clin Pathol. 2014

22 Advice and support relating to HPV testing for the Scottish Cervical Screening Programme (2) Further Research to refine and develop Test of Cure processes MAGS* Project: Gathering evidence base to determine whether patients treated with Micro-invasive cancer or Glandular lesions may benefit from HPV-Test of Cure. SHPVRL represented within HPV Reference Group**, Scottish Cytology Steering Group. Primary Screening with HPV a priority issue. Support in the cascade of training, best practice and quality assurance for increased volume of HPV Testing *Microinvasive Glandular and SMILE **Set up to consider the case for HPV Primary Screening

23 - Key phrase: UK Cervical Cancer Screeing Programme should adopt the test for HPV as a primary screening test

24 HPV screening / genotyping in individual clinical cases where knowledge of HPV status will inform clinical management Gynae Non Gyane Year 62 in total In Service Level Agreement originally funded to perform 200 tests per year.

29 Research and Development (3) Life beyond the cervix. Further insight into HPV associations and impact in the development of non cervical ano-genital cancers (K Wakeham) AND Head and neck cancers (in addition to oropharynx) hypopharynx, nasopharyx (Ioanna Nixon, Simon Talbot) HOPSCOTCH HPV Oral prevalence study CSO funded feasibility study just completed in dental practices (CI David Conway)

30 Scottish HPV Archive Started in 2009 Archive of cervical samples from women in Scotland Associated data linkage capabilities Can be used for HPV related research Over 27,000 and counting. Multiple aliquots each INTERESTED IN USING THE ARCHIVE? Get in touch Dr Ramya Bhatia - archive manager

31 The Scottish HPV Investigators Network (SHINe, est 2008) Purpose The purpose of SHINe is to act as a multi-disciplinary forum for discussion on HPV and HPV-related diseases, identify emerging research and clinical questions, and implement a series of research programmes/projects relevant to HPV disease prevention and management in the future. The group benefits from the combined expertise of representatives from cervical screening (Primary Care and Cytology), disease management/treatment (Pathology, Gynaecology and Colposcopy) and internationally recognised basic scientists. In addition, representation from the Scottish HPV Reference Laboratory (SHPVRL) and the team at Health Protection Scotland responsible for National Immunisation and surveillance make SHINe a truly relevant and integrated collaboration. Funding has already been obtained from the Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government Health Department with two concurrent programme grants, one of which has ensured the development of a National HPV sample archive.
