LBC hrhpv testing: New methods for testing Triage ASC-US, LSIL Follow-up after treatment of hgcin 1ary screening QC of cytology Molecular markers HPV genotyping
Siebers, Arbyn JAMA 2009, 302:1757-1764 Conclusion: This study indicates that liquid-based cytology does not perform better than conventional Pap tests in terms of relative sensitivity and PPV for detection of cervical cancer precursors.
New trials: Pap vs LBC Strander Eur J Cancer 2007 (Sweden) Sykes BJOG 2008 (New Zealand) Siebers, Arbyn JAMA 2009 (Netherlands) Adding newest trials conclusions of meta-analysis unchanged
LBC: logistical advantages Less unsatisfactory samples Microscopic screening is quicker (-1/3) Allows ancillary molecular testing: HPV testing Usable for biobanking
HPV testing in triage of ASCUS, LSIL
Triage with HPV testing from previous meta-analyses / ALTS Triage of ASCUS: HC2 more sensitive and similarly specific compared to repeat cytology for detection of underlying CIN2+ Triage of LSIL: LSIL is an expression of HPV infection, and therefore very often HPV positive. Might be useful in triage among older women (>40,>45, >50 years) Research needed to assess triage by biomarkers Arbyn et al, JNCI2004a &b, Gynecol Oncol 2005, Vaccine 2006; ALTS group AJOG2003a &b; Solomon Arch Pathol Lab Med 2009

HPV testing after treatment of CIN hrhpv DNA testing after treatment predicts residual or recurrent CIN with higher sensitivity than cytology or histology of the section margins Specificity of hrhpv DNA does not differ significantly from histology of section margins but is lower than repeat cytology But: cave: heterogeneity of studies, methods, timing of follow-up visits Long term follow-up needed, since high sensitivity of HPV testing might be only valid to short term recurrent disease (Stander EJC 2007) Arbyn, Gynecol Oncol 2005, Vaccine 2006; Chan AJOG 2009

Conclusion: hrhpv DNA testing More sensitive but less specific than cyto to detect CIN2+ & CIN3+ Accuracy estimates less variable than cytology Combined screening (cyto + HPV) does not increase sensitivity but decreases specificity and generates costs & adverse effects Less CIN3+, less invasive cancer among women with negative HPV test at base line Arbyn, Lancet Oncol 2009
Conclusion: hrhpv DNA testing HPV screening with validated tests: good reproducibility, less ~ skilled human resources HPV screening will allow extending intervals, but this will require a high level of organisation otherwise explosion of follow-up examinations Reduced specificity requires appropriate triage (cytology, typing 16/18, p16, RNA-5 types, persistent (type-specific) infection
Conclusion: hrhpv DNA testing Whatever the choice of future 1ary screening : the main factor of success will be the availability of a good organised and monitored system
