1 Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination and Implications for Cervical Cancer Screening Vlastos Anne-Therese Departement of Obstetrics and Gynecolgy Geneva University Hospital

2 HPV, DNA virus More than 120 different type High-risk: : 68% SCC 18: 71% AdenoCx Intermediate-risk:

3 + 70% of sexually active people face the Papillomavirus during their lifetime Incidence estimated to be 6.2 million/year for genital HPV infection in U.S.

4 HPV and related diseases

5 5.2% of all cancers worldwide attributable to HPV infection (Parkin et al. Vaccine 2006) Organ Site for women % HPV Related CANCER Estimated number/year Cervical ,000 Vulva ,000 Vagina Total with vulva Anal ,000 Oral/larynx 25 3,000 Oro-pharynx ,000 TOTAL 534,000 WHO Information Center

6 HPV Burden These worldwide and U.S. estimates show: the burden of noncervical HPV-related cancers is substantial, approximately equal among men and women oropharyngeal cancers constitute a high proportion of noncervical HPVrelated cancers, particularly among men Additionally, the burden of noncervical cancers approximates that of cervical cancers in the United States such an equilibrium may be true only for developed nations with established Pap smear screening programs In developing countries without organized Pap smear screening programs, the burden of cervical cancers far exceeds that of noncervical cancers.

7 Estimated HPV burden in women in Europe: Nearly 1.4 million events/year Oncogenic types Pre-cancerous Cervical Lesions Cervical Cancer Non Oncogenic types Low Grade Cervical Lesions Genital warts Calculations 817,000 cases/yr 250,000 cases/yr 187,000 cases/yr 60,000 cases/yr 30,000 deaths/yr Simoens C, Sabbe M, Van DP et al.

9 Cervical cancer and HPV Secondary prevention: Pap smear

10 Screening with the Conventional Pap Smear Widely available Inexpensive But not perfect Screening test not diagnostic 7-10% of women need further evaluation Low sensitivity need regular repeats Cervical Cytology Screening. ACOG Practice Bulletin No ; 102:

11 Incidence of cervical cancer in the Nordic countries From Hakama, 1992

12 Cervical cancer and HPV Secondary prevention: HPV testing

13 HPV Testing: Pcr test HPV testing is approved for use in two contexts: 1. As a triage test following an equivocal cytology result of ASCUS 2. Primary screening in conjunction with cervical cytology for women aged 30 years and older. Interpretation HPV-based screening is more effective than cytology in preventing invasive cervical cancer, by detecting persistent high-grade lesions earlier and providing a longer low-risk period. However, in younger women, HPV screening leads to over-diagnosis of regressive CIN2.

21 Implications of HPV Vaccines Females are not protected if they have been infected with HPV prior to vaccination HPV vaccine does not protect against less common HPV types, not included in the vaccine Duration of protection, need for booster doses, not certain Routine vaccination of year old girls will take decades to show a discernable effect on the incidence of cervical cancer; screening needs to continue for other women

34 Guideline Conclusions Fitting vaccination with existing screening strategies

35 When

36 Adherence to cervical screening in the era of human papillomavirus vaccination Mathematical model of vaccination, screening, and disease incidence For a population with opportunistic screening and 30% vaccine coverage: Screening rates in vaccinated women would have to decline by at least 80% before the incidence of cervical cancer would increase in the era since the introduction of the vaccine. In populations that have highly eff ective cervical screening programmes, incidence of cervical cancer starts to increase after smaller, but still substantial, decreases in screening. Introduction of vaccine is unlikely to lead to an increased incidence of cervical cancer as a result of diminished screening. Adherence to cervical screening in the era of human papillomavirus vaccination: how low is too low? Chris T Bauch, Meng Li, Gretchen Chapman, Alison P Galvani. Lancet Infect Dis 2010; 10:

37 Cervical Cancer Screening at the vaccine age Cervical cancer screening no change 30% of cervical cancers caused by HPV types not prevented by the quadrivalent HPV vaccine Vaccinated females could subsequently be infected with non-vaccine HPV types Coverage of the population never = 100% Sexually active females could have been infected prior to vaccination

38 Conclusions: Screening for Cervical Cancer Prevention Non vaccinated women: Vaccinated women while sexually active: Continue program / change to HPV screening HPV screening/continue program Vaccinated women while presexually active: HPV screening

52 Loss of screening performance due to vaccination As successive cohorts of women are vaccinated, we will achieve a significant (50% +) reduction in the prevalence of the most significant cytologic abnormalities resulting in: Decrease in positive predictive value of cytology Increase in false positive rates will lead to overdiagnosis and over-treatment Negative impact on technician training and quality assurance (largely avoided by HPV tests)
