[Analysis of clinical and pathological characteristics of high- risk HPV-negative carcinoma of the uterine cervix].

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the clinical and pathological characteristics of HPV-negative cervical cancer patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 785 cervical cancer patients in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from Jan. 2005 to Oct. 2015. By detecting high- risk HPV infection by flow-through hybridization genechip technique. Results: (1)Among 785 cases of cervical cancer, 71 cases were negative for HPV infection tested by genechip technique, accounting for 9.0%(71/785), and the relative light units/cut off(RLU/CO)ratios of these 71 cases were less than 1 by hybird capture Ⅱ(HC-Ⅱ)methods. The results showed that the positive coincident rate of genechip technique detecting result with HC-Ⅱ method was 100.0%(71/71).(2)There was no difference between 43(60.6%)cases from 41-55 years old of 71 cases of HPV-negative patients and 392(54.9%)cases from 41- 55 years old of 714 cases of HPV infection patients(χ2=15.63, P=0.571). Among 71 cases of HPV-negative patients, 32 cases of patients with doing TCT, 6(18.8%)cases for normal, 10(31.2%)cases for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASCUS), 3(9.4%)cases for atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(ASC-H), 3(9.4%)cases for low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL), 8(25.0%)cases for hight-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL), 2(6.2%)cases for squamous cell carcinoma(SCC). And there were 391 cases of patients with doing thin-prep cytologic test(TCT)of 714 HPV infection patients, 60(15.3%)cases for normal, 61(15.6%)cases for ASCUS, 28(7.2%)cases for ASC-H, 29(7.4%)cases for LSIL, 164(41.9%)cases for HSIL, 49(12.5%)cases for SCC. There was no difference of TCT between HPV infection and HPV-negative patients(P>0.05). Among 70 cases from 71 patients with negative for HPV infection, there were 8(11.4%)cases in stage Ⅰ a, 26(37.1%)cases in stage Ⅰ b1, 12(17.1%)cases in stage Ⅰb2, 11(15.7%)cases in stage Ⅱa, 10(14.3%)cases in stage Ⅱb, 3(4.3%)cases in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. There were 118(16.6%)cases in stage Ⅰa, 261(36.8%)cases in stage Ⅰb1, 72(10.1%)cases in stage Ⅰb2, 152(21.4%)cases in stage Ⅱa, 87(12.3%)cases in stage Ⅱb, 20(2.8%)cases in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ in 710 cases of HPV infection patients, in which there were no difference of clinical stage between HPV infection and HPV-negative patients(P>0.05). Among 69 cases from 71 patients HPV-negative infection, there were 51(73.9%)cases for squamous carcinoma, 13(18.8%)cases for adenocarcinoma, 5(7.2%)cases for adenosquamous carcinoma; and 593(87.2%)cases for squamous carcinoma, 38(5.6%)cases for adenocarcinoma, 39(5.7%)cases for adenosquamous carcinoma, 10(1.5%)case for others were in 680 patients of HPV infection, in which there was significant difference of adenocarcinoma between HPV infection and HPV-negative patients(χ2=11.96, P=0.001). Conclusions: Flow-through hybridization genechip technique is the method of high sensitivity to detect high-risk type HPV, as like HC-Ⅱ method. HPV-negative of cervical cancer occurs mainly in 41- 55 years old. Adenocarcinoma incidence is significantly higher in HPV-negative cases than those patients with infection of HPV positive.
