RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To compare the triage performance of HPV viral loads reflected by cycle threshold values (CtV) from two different HPV testing assays: the PCR based Cobas4800 and the isothermal amplification based AmpFire assay. METHODS: We used the data from a sub-study of The Chinese Multi-Center Screening Trial and analyzed the data of the cases positive in both Cobas4800 and AmpFire assays with recorded CtV. Spearman's correlation was applied to analyze the association between CtV from AmpFire and Cobas4800 assays, as well as the correlation between CtV and the histological lesion grades. The 50th percentile of CtV was used as the cutoff to construct triage algorithms for HPV-positive cases. McNemar's test was used to analyze the differences in sensitivity and specificity for detecting CIN2 + and CIN3 + in different triage algorithms. RESULTS: Four hundred forty-six HPV positive women who had consistent HPV results from Cobas4800 and AmpFire in terms of the HPV genotype and reported Ct values were included in the analysis. The mean CtV of hrHPV tested by Cobas4800 and AmpFire were linear correlated. Direct association were showed between the severity of cervical lesions and the HPV viral loads reflected by CtV of hrHPV, HPV16, non-16/18 hrHPV and A9 group from both assays. HPV16/18 genotyping combined with low-CtV for non-16/18 hrHPV, especially A9 group, were demonstrated to be satisfactory in the sensitivity and specificity for detecting CIN2 + or CIN3 + . CONCLUSION: Ct value represented a good triage marker in both PCR-based and isothermal amplification HPV detection.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of an internet-facilitated community model for cervical cancer screening using self-collected HPV testing as primary screening. METHOD: A population-based cervical cancer screening program was conducted in the suburb of Shenzhen, China, from September 2014 to July 2017. Women with 25-60 years of age and no pregnancy were eligible for participation. Participants could register for screening by logging in a website by themselves or with the aids of local community workers. A unique barcode was issued to each applicant upon successful registration. After registration, women could get sampling kits from community screening site/study clinic, collect vaginal samples privately or in group, and provide their sample for Hr-HPV tests on Cobas4800 and SeqHPV assays. Testing reports were checkable through personal account for all participant and phone calls were given to all women positive of Hr-HPV. Participants positive of both or either the 2 assays were identified as the positives. The positives could return the study clinic for triage or search medical care in other clinics. Colposcopy directed or ramdom biopsies were performed on all positives who returned to the study clinics. RESULTS: A total of 10,792 community women registered for screening, among whom, 10,010 provided their vaginal samples for tests. 99.5% of the participants were confirmed to have correct personal identifiable information and samples, and 98.9% of them got HPV testing results from both or either assays. No adverse event was reported. CONCLUSION: When self-collected HPV testing is used as the primary testing, the internet-based data platform facilitates the screening in registration, data collection, and data tracking, and increases the screening coverage. Internet-facilitated community model is promising to cervical cancer control and applicable in regions with variety of resources.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping particularly vaccine genotypes and multiple infections for cervical precancer and cancer, which might contribute to developing genotype-specific screening strategy and assessing potential effects of HPV vaccine. METHODS: The HPV genotypes were identified using the Seq HPV assay on self-collected samples. Hierarchical ranking of each genotype was performed according to positive predictive value (PPV) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 or worse (CIN2+/CIN3+). Multivariate logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) of CIN2+ according to multiplicity of types and vaccine types. RESULTS: A total of 2811 HPV-positive women were analyzed. The five dominant HPV genotypes in high-grade lesions were 16/58/52/33/18. The overall ranking orders were HPV16/33/35/58/31/68/18/ 56/52/66/51/59/45/39 for CIN2+ and HPV16/33/31/58/45/66/52/18/35/56/51/68/59/39 for CIN3+. The risks of single infection versus co-infections with other types lower in the hierarchy having CIN2+ were not statistically significant for HPV16 (multiple infection vs. single infection: OR = 0.8, 95%CI = 0.6-1.1, P = 0.144) or other genotypes (P > 0.0036) after conservative Bonferroni correction. Whether HPV16 was present or not, the risks of single infection versus multiple infection with any number (2, ≥2, or ≥ 3) of types for CIN2+ were not significantly different. In addition, HPV31/33/45/52/58 covered by nonavalent vaccine added 27.5% of CIN2, 23.0% of CIN3, and 12.5% of cancer to the HPV16/18 genotyping. These genotype-groups were at significantly higher risks than genotypes not covered by nonavalent vaccine. Moreover, genotypes covered by nonavalent vaccine contributed to 85.2% of CIN2 lesions, 97.9% of CIN3 and 93.8% of cancers. CONCLUSIONS: Partial extended genotyping such as HPV33/31/58 but not multiplicity of HPV infections could serve as a promising triage for HPV-positive self-samples. Moreover, incidence rates of cervical cancer and precancer were substantial attributable to HPV genotypes covered by current nonavalent vaccination.

OBJECTIVE: Self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is an effective option to increase the cervical screening coverage. How to best triage HPV-positive self-samples remains controversial. Here, we evaluated the performance of a novel p16INK4a immunocytology approach (p16) and HPV genotyping in triaging HPV-positive self-samples. METHODS: A cohort of 73699 women were screened via SeqHPV assay on self-samples. HPV-positive women who met any sequential positive result of HPV16/18 or VIA or p16 were referred for colposcopy. A triage strategy was considered favorable if the NPV for CIN3+ was ≥98%, combined with an improvement of sensitivity and specificity in comparison to the comparator, being the 'ASC-US+' triage and the guideline strategy (HPV16/18+ or ASC-US+). RESULTS: A total of 3510 HPV-positive women were included, 422 (12.0%) CIN2+ and 247 (7.0%) CIN3+ were identified. The positivity of p16 and ASC-US+ were 36.3% and 22.2%, respectively. p16 was more sensitive and less specific than ASC-US+ (P < 0.0001). However, when combined p16 with cytology or genotypes, two triage strategies were superior to the 'ASC-US+' strategy: p16 scored 3+; HPV16/33/58/31+ &p16+. Moreover, four strategies were favorable to the guideline strategy: ASC-US+ or p16+; LSIL+ or p16+; HPV16+ or p16+; HSIL+ or p16+ or HPV16+. These strategies achieved better balance between diseases detection and colposcopy referral. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate the promising utility of p16 immunocytology via adjusting the staining score or serving as an ancillary tool to liquid-based cytology or combining with genotyping for the triage of HPV-positive self-samples, which promotes the precise screening of cervical cancer.

BACKGROUND: Self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is a feasible option to improve the cervical screening coverage. However, an ideal triage method for HPV-positive self-samples does not yet exist. The aim of this study was to explore the utility of HPV genotyping and p16INK4a immunostaining (p16) in triaging HPV-positive self-samples, focusing on HPV-positive, cytology-negative (HPCN) women. METHODS: A total of 73,699 women were screened in a cervical screening project in China via SeqHPV assay on self-samples. HPV-positive women were called-back and collected cervical sample for p16 immunostaining and liquid-based cytology, those who met any result of HPV16/18+ or visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) + or p16+ were referred for colposcopy, and HPCN women with adequate data on p16 and pathology were analyzed. A triage strategy was considered acceptable if the negative predictive value (NPV) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 or worse (CIN3+) was 98% or more, combined with an improvement of sensitivity and specificity for CIN2+/CIN3+ in reference to the comparator, being HPV16/18 + . RESULTS: A total of 2731 HPCN women aged 30-64 years were enrolled, 136 (5.0%) CIN2+ and 53 (1.9%) CIN3+ were detected. Five triage strategies met the criteria: p16+; HPV16/33+; 'HPV16+ or HPV33/58/31/35+&p16+'; 'HPV16/33+ or HPV58/31/35+&p16+'; HPV16/18/31/33/45/52/58 + & p16+. These strategies required less or similar colposcopy referrals, and less colposcopies to detected one case of CIN2+/CIN3+, achieving favorable false positive (negative) rates to the comparator. Among them, p16 staining detected 83.1% (79.2%) of underlying CIN2 + (CIN3+) in HPCN women. Moreover, three triage strategies were favorable in sensitivity and/or specificity to the 'HPV16/33+' strategy: p16+; 'HPV16+ or HPV33/58/31/35 + &p16+'; HPV16/18/31/33/45/52/58 + &p16 + . CONCLUSIONS: Genotyping for HPV16/33 could be utilized to optimize the management of HPCN women. Moreover, p16 immunostaining, either alone or combined with extended genotypes, is more effective than HPV genotypes alone in the triage of HPCN women.

AIM: To compare thermocoagulation and cryotherapy for treatment of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS: From May 2017 to May 2018, women with CIN2/3 were randomized to thermocoagulation or cryotherapy at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital. Follow-up at 4 and 8 months included cytology and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing. Women who were HPV-positive or had atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or higher-grade disease underwent colposcopy/biopsy. RESULTS: Among 149 women enrolled, 74 were randomized to thermocoagulation, and 75 to cryotherapy (excluded four were immediately referred for thermocoagulation due to large lesions). At follow-up, there was no difference between the thermocoagulation and cryotherapy groups in HPV-negative (4/8 months: 72.5%/86.2% vs 68.6%/80.6%) and pathology-negative (97.1%/98.5% vs 94.3%/92.3%) rates (all P > 0.05). The cytology-negative rate was similar for thermocoagulation and cryotherapy at 4 months (79.7% vs 78.9%, P > 0.05), but higher for thermocoagulation at 8 months (100% vs 88.7%, P < 0.05). No lesions were observed among the four referral women at follow-up. As compared with cryotherapy, thermocoagulation was associated with shorter duration of treatment and less vaginal discharge, but higher pain during application and longer bleeding after treatment. CONCLUSION: Thermocoagulation was as effective and safe as cryotherapy and might be easily applied to treat high-grade cervical lesions.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the human papillomavirus (HPV) viral load combined with cytology as a secondary screening strategy after primary HPV screening. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data referring to direct Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2), cytology, and histology from Shenzhen Cervical Cancer Screening Trial II were re-analyzed to determine the correlation between viral load and cervical lesions. In addition, algorithms using different viral loads as cut points for immediate colposcopy plus cytology triage were compared with several recommended or controversial primary screening methods. RESULTS: A total of 8,556 women with a mean age of 38.9 years were included in the analysis, of which 13.67% tested high-risk HPV positive with a prevalence of 2.72% for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+ (CIN 2+) and 1.65% for CIN 3+. A significant correlation was observed between increasing relative light units/control (RLU/CO) values and worsening cervical lesions. The mean RLU/CO values for negative, CIN 1, CIN 2, CIN 3, and cancer were 6.86, 119.43, 410.90, 449.39, and 853.26, respectively. A larger proportion of HPV infections with relative high viral load (≥10 RLU/CO) were found in higher-grade lesions. The algorithm using 10 or greater RLU/CO as cut point for immediate colposcopy followed by triage cytology for the other positive (≥1 < 10 RLU/CO) had sensitivity of 93.13%/96.45% and specificity of 92.32%/91.44% for CIN 2+/3+, and the colposcopy referral rate was 10.00%. CONCLUSIONS: Human papillomavirus viral load level is positively associated with cervical lesion grade. Ten relative light units/control or greater is a viable threshold for immediate colposcopy whereas 1 or greater or less than 10 RLU/CO is advised to reflex cytology for optimizing sensitivity and specificity, as well as referral rates.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and implement a community based model for cervical cancer prevention that allows the communities to manage the screening and the healthcare system to focus resources on evaluation and management of the positives. METHODS: Using self-sampling and the concepts founded in Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR), we progressively developed a model to efficiently reach the women, especially rural communities; and collect the volume of samples needed to support high throughput centralized low cost per case processing. RESULTS: 8382 eligible women, ages 35 to 59, in 130 rural communities participated. The screening was organized by the local government administration and conducted by the community leaders (CLs). The model used was progressively designed through detailed assessment of key elements at 6 decision points in 26 workshops that were used to train the CLs and the local promoters. The communities were able to accurately conduct the screening; in the final model a local medical worker conducted a 50-minute workshop featuring instructional posters and structured role-play. A manual and a workshop DVD were created for distribution to and implementation by local governments. The average callback rate was 84.3%, without involvement of the local doctors in the management of the positives. CONCLUSION: An efficient community based model capable of massive screening events was developed. We believe that the callback rate will be further improved when local doctors are trained in the management of the positives. Many elements impact coverage and further research is needed to define the influence of the identified key variables.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and applicability of an online cervical cancer screening program using a website as the public platform and self-collected HPV testing as the primary screening method. METHODS: A website (mcareu.com) was developed to facilitate the online cervical cancer screening program by Peking University Shenzhen Hospital (PUSH). Women in Shenzhen could register for participation on the website by providing essential demographic data. Sampling kits and specimens were delivered through regular logistics. Eligible women collected vaginal samples by themselves using the provided kits and in referring of the graphic guidance. The specimens were tested for HPV at PUSH or a reference lab, and the results were accessible on the website through participants' personal accounts. Participants who tested positive for high-risk HPV were scheduled for colposcopy and biopsies. The demographic and social background data of the eligible participants were analyzed to evaluate the feasibility and applicability of the online screening approach. RESULTS: A total of 1712 applicants registered for participation, with 99.9% (1710/1712) completing registration with full data. The analysis included 1560 applicants aged 30-59, with an average age of 41.1 (± 7.6) years. Among them, 83.3% (1299/1560) provided self-collected samples for testing. Age-group analysis revealed an overall sample provision rate (SPR) exceeded 80% in all age groups. A significant difference in SPR was observed only between the 30-34 and 45-49 age groups (p < 0.05), while no significant differences were found among other age groups. 99.7% of the samples were tested qualified, and there was no significant difference in sampling failure rate among age groups. Analysis of demographic and social elements showed no significant impact on the rates of sample provision among groups in most of the social elements but the medical insurance and the monthly family-incomes. CONCLUSION: The findings demonstrate that online cervical cancer screening is reliable for self-registration, self-sampling, and self-ordering for specimen transportation. It is suitable for women of all ages needing to be screened, irrespective of social elements, and effectively facilitates screening for women with limited access to medical resources. Therefore, online screening holds promise as an effective approach to increase screening coverage.
RESUMO
Background: Few articles have focused on the cytological misinterpretation of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Due to estrogen deficiency, cervical epithelial cells in postmenopausal women tend to show atrophic change that looks like HSIL on Papanicolaou-stained cytology slides, resulting in a higher rate of cytological misinterpretation. P16INK4a immunocytochemical staining (P16 cytology) can effectively differentiate diseased cells from normal atrophic ones with less dependence on cell morphology. Objective: To evaluate the role of P16 cytology in differentiating cytology HSIL from benign atrophy in women aged 50 years and above. Methods: Included in this analysis were women in a cervical cancer screening project conducted in central China who tested positive for high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) and returned back for triage with complete data of primary HPV testing, liquid-based cytology (LBC) analysis, P16 immuno-stained cytology interpretation, and pathology diagnosis. The included patients were grouped by age: ≥50 (1,127 cases) and <50 years (1,430 cases). The accuracy of LBC and P16 cytology in the detection of pathology ≥HSIL was compared between the two groups, and the role of P16 immuno-stain in differentiating benign cervical lesions from cytology ≥HSIL was further analyzed. Results: One hundred sixty-seven women (14.8%; 167/1,127) in the ≥50 group and 255 (17.8%, 255/1,430) in the <50 group were pathologically diagnosed as HSIL (Path-HSIL). LBC [≥Atypical Squamous Cell Of Undetermined Significance (ASCUS)] and P16 cytology (positive) respectively detected 63.9% (163/255) and 90.2% (230/255) of the Path-≥HSIL cases in the <50 group and 74.3% (124/167) and 93.4% (124/167) of the Path-≥HSIL cases in the ≥50 group. LBC matched with pathology in 105 (41.2%) of the 255 Path-≥HSIL cases in the <50 group and 93 (55.7%) of the 167 Path-≥HSIL cases in the ≥50 group. There were five in the <50 group and 14 in the ≥50 group that were Path-≤LSIL cases, which were interpreted by LBC as HSIL, but negative in P16 cytology. Conclusion: P16 cytology facilitates differentiation of Path-≤LSIL from LBC-≥HSIL for women 50 years of age and above. It can be used in the lower-resource areas, where qualified cytologists are insufficient, as the secondary screening test for women aged ≥50 to avoid unnecessary biopsies and misinterpretation of LBC primary or secondary screening.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: The human papillomavirus (HPV) screening assays from Atila Biosystems, including the new AmpFire (14 type) and ScreenFire RS (13 type), were subjected to a series of validation tests. METHODS: We used a set of samples from the Chinese Multi-Site Screening Trial (previously tested with cobas 4800 and the next-generation SeqHPV) to satisfy Meijer's criteria for clinical end-point validation. We selected 556 self-collected specimens composed of 273 high-risk HPV (hrHPV) positives and 283 hrHPV negatives on the cobas 4800 and SeqHPV. Of the 273 hrHPV-positive cases, 108 had a disease end point of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) or higher, including 47 with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3+) or higher. We simulated the VALGENT framework for inter- and intralaboratory validation and evaluated the new 4-channel risk-stratified ScreenFire assay in a hierarchal fashion. RESULTS: Both AmpFire and ScreenFire detected 106 (98.1%) of 108 cases with CIN2 or higher, with specificities of 56.7% and 58.1%, respectively. Intralaboratory concordance for 2 runs of AmpFire and ScreenFire was 95.13% and 96.03%, respectively, for overall hrHPV types and 99.10% and 99.46%, respectively, for HPV 16. The interlaboratory concordance of AmpFire and ScreenFire was 93.68% and 94.04% for overall hrHPV and 98.92% and 99.28%, respectively, for HPV 16. Other genotype correlation percentages were similarly high, with κs ranging from 0.86 to 0.94. The ScreenFire RS assay demonstrated excellent "genotype-specific concordance" when evaluated for "clinical guidance" in a hierarchal fashion (noting only the highest risk channel) with both the cobas 4800 and SeqHPV for less than CIN2, CIN2, and CIN3 or higher. CONCLUSIONS: The excellent intra- and interlaboratory reproducibility and the established clinical performance, together with the platforms' simplicity, make these assays particularly applicable to low-resource settings.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and pathogenecity of the HPV subtyping and virus loads in Shenzhen district. METHODS: In the study, 10 000 sexually active women from Shenzhen city and rural areas around were screened for cervical cancer, and all the cases were examined with cytology tests and several kinds of high risk HPV (HR-HPV) tests. Those with cytology ≥atypical squamous cells of undetermined sign (ASC-US) or positive HPV results underwent colposcopy with biopsy for a pathological diagnosis. RESULTS: The average age of this study population was 38.9 years. The total prevalence of HPV infection was 16.6%, with age-specific prevalence increasing with age. The morbidity rate of the low grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia CIN1 was 17.0%, but that with those aged ≥55 years showed a sharp drop. The morbidity rate of the high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia CIN2/3 was 2.6%, and was higher in the 45 to 59 years age group than in the 25 to 44 years age group. HR-HPV infection was an obvious relevant factor of CIN1 and CIN2/3, and the OR values increased as the virus loads increased, but they had different relevant HPV subtypes. We found that HPV-16, -58, -31, -33, -18 were the first five ones for CIN2/3 while HPV-39, -58, -59, -52, -66 for CIN1. CONCLUSION: There is a high level of HPV infection and CIN in Shenzhen district. The prevalence of HPV infection has a trend to increase with age, and the people aged 45 years and more are key objects for CIN2/3 screening, with the virus load and subtyping of HR-HPV infection as indicative factors.

This study reports the outcomes of an innovative fertility-preserving surgery for the treatment of diffuse adenomyosis that is known as a surgery for protection of uterine structure for healing (PUSH Surgery). Developed at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, PUSH Surgery aims to achieve radical excision of adenomyotic lesions by reconstructing the uterus with overlapping muscle flaps to promote optimal healing of the uterine wall and reduce the risk of scar rupture in subsequent pregnancies. PUSH Surgery was performed on 146 patients with diffuse adenomyosis, with uteri measuring from 8 to 16 gestational weeks and an average volume of 230 ± 150cm³. Regular follow-up was conducted for up to 156 months, revealing a significant reduction in VAS pain scores from 9.4 ± 1.2 before the surgery to 0.3 ± 0.8 and 0.6 ± 1.0 at 1 and 2 years post-surgery, respectively, with a continuous alleviation rate of 96.4% after the operations. Notably, 100% of patients with severe menorrhagia reported normal menstruation volumes within 2 years. Additionally, 31 patients attempted to conceive, resulting in a 58% postoperative pregnancy rate and a 60.0% intrauterine live embryo rate. Operation-related complications occurred in 2.7% of patients, with a 3.6% recurrence rate after more than 2 years of follow-up. Importantly, no cases of uterine rupture or severe complications were observed in the pregnant patients. In conclusion, PUSH Surgery offers a promising approach for the radical excision of adenomyotic lesions, promoting improved tissue healing and significant symptom relief.

Self-collected vaginal specimens tested for high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) have been shown to be less sensitive for the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or cancer (≥CIN 3) than physician-collected endocervical specimens. To increase the sensitivity of self-collected specimens, we studied a self-sampling device designed to obtain a larger specimen from the upper vagina (POI/NIH self-sampler) and a more sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based HR-HPV assay. Women (10,000) were screened with cervical cytology and HR-HPV testing of vaginal self-collected and endocervical physician-collected specimens. Women were randomly assigned to use either a novel self-collection device (POI/NIH self-sampler) or conical-shaped brush (Qiagen). The self-collected and clinician-collected specimens were assayed by Cervista (Hologic) and the research only PCR-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF). Women with any abnormal screening test underwent colposcopy and biopsy. Women (8,556), mean age of 38.9, had complete data; 1.6% had ≥ CIN 3. For either HR-HPV assay, the sensitivity was similar for the two self-collection devices. Tested with Cervista, the sensitivity for ≥CIN 3 of self-collected specimens was 70.9% and for endocervical specimens was 95.0% (p = 0.0001). Tested with MALDI-TOF, the sensitivity for ≥CIN 3 of self-collected specimens was 94.3% and for endocervical specimens was also 94.3% (p = 1.0). A self-collected sample using a PCR-based assay with the capability of very high throughput has similar sensitivity as a direct endocervical specimen obtained by a physician. Large population-based screening "events" in low-resource settings could be achieved by promoting self-collection and centralized high-throughput, low-cost testing by PCR-based MALDI-TOF.

OBJECTIVE: To verify the association of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) viral load reflected by cycle threshold (Ct) values from HPV testing on Cobas4800 assay with the histologic grades of cervical lesions via analysis on the combined data from two cervical cancer screening trials and to explore the referability of Ct values in management of the abnormalities from cervical cancer primary screening. METHODS: We analyzed the data from Chinese Multi-Center Screening Trial (CHMUST) and BUJI Cervical Cancer Screening Study Project (BUJI Study). All data to be analyzed in this paper were related to provider-collected samples. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare the Ct values among different histological groups, and Kendall's tau-b correlation was applied to examine the association between Ct values and cervical lesion grades. The stepwise incidence of CIN2+ and CIN3+ in every 100 HPV positive individuals were calculated according to the descending of the genotype specific Ct values. The highest Ct values related to CIN3+ incidence rate 4% (or 25%) were used as the cutoffs to distinguish low-Ct value cases from the high-Ct value ones. RESULTS: A total of 1376 women in CHUMUST and BUJI Study who were aged 30-59 and positive of hrHPV for provider-collected samples on Cobas4800 with complete data in terms of the relevant Ct values (CtV) and the histological diagnosis were included for analysis. Our data showed significant difference among different histological grades of cervical lesions in the CtV of hrHPV, HPV16-plus (positive of HPV16 only or HPV16 plus 18 and/or pooled 12-HPV), and pooled 12-HPV (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found among different grades of lesions in term of correlated CtV of HPV18-plus (positive of HPV18 only or HPV18 plus pooled 12-HPV) (P > 0.05). The CIN2+ or CIN3+ incidence per 100 positives significantly increased corresponding to the descending of the CtV of hrHPV, HPV16-plus and pooled 12-HPV. Compared with high-CtV groups (CtV > 33.2 for hrHPV, CtV > 29.6 for pooled 12-HPV), the relevant risks (RRs) of CIN2+ for hrHPV and pooled 12-HPV positive groups with low-CtV (CtV ≤ 33.2 and ≤ 29.6, respectively) were 3.2 (95%CI 2.18-4.80) and 2.3 (95%CI 1.50-3.45). Similarly, the RRs of CIN3+ for hrHPV and pooled 12-HPV positive groups with low-CtV were 6.5 (95%CI 2.83-14.80) and 2.7 (95%CI 1.15-6.39), respectively. The RRs of CIN2+ for medium- (30.3 < CtV ≤ 37.4) and low- (≤ 30.3) CtV HPV16-plus positives were 5.1 (95%CI 0.68-38.38) and 20.6 (95%CI 2.96-143.92) related to high-CtV (> 37.4) groups, and the CIN3+ incidence in low-CtV value group was nine-fold higher of that in medium-CtV ones [RRs, 9.0 (95%CI 2.89-28.10)]. In comparing with the algorithms of "HPV16-plus/18-plus + cytology ≥ ASCUS for pooled 12-HPV", triage algorithm "HPV16-plus/18-plus + Ct value ≤ 33.2 for pooled 12-HPV" could achieve a comparable sensitivity of 93.2%. CONCLUSION: HPV viral loads reflected by Ct values for hrHPV, HPV16-plus and pooled 12-HPV from Cobas4800 HPV testing were directly associated with the severity of cervical lesions. A lower HPV genotype-specific Ct value prompted a significantly high CIN3+ risk of 4% or higher in women positive of hrHPV, HPV16-plus or pooled 12-HPV, indicating that HPV viral load reflected by Ct values on Cobas4800 may be a promising risk indicator in management of abnormalities from primary cervical cancer screening.
RESUMO
Objective: To validate the HPV viral loads that are reflected by the cycle threshold values of Cobas4800 as the viral load indicators by verifying the consistency of the viral loads per unit (10,000 cells) from the BMRT assay. Methods: The analysis is based on data from the Chinese Multi-Center Screening Trial (CHIMUST). The cases included in the analysis are all positive for physician-collected hrHPV on SeqHPV and/or Cobas4800 or negative for hrHPV but abnormal in cytology (≥LSIL), and some cases selected by nested case-control randomization from those negative for physician-collected hrHPV and cytology. With HPV testing results and relevant Ct values from Cobas4800 available, we tested the entire sample set with the BMRT HPV testing assay and analyzed their agreement with Cobas4800, followed by a comparison of the CtV from Cobas4800 and viral loads (lg) from BMRT by lesion grade. Results: We included 4,485 women (mean age: 45.4 years) in the study, and 4,290 had complete data. The consistency of genotypes from Cobas4800 and BMRT for hrHPV, HPV-16, HPV-18, and 12-HPV pools was 94.9% (4070/4290, Kappa = 0.827), 99.1% (4251/4290, Kappa = 0.842), 99.6% (4,273/4,290, Kappa = 0.777), and 95.3% (4,089/4,290, Kappa = 0.821), respectively. Further analysis shows that any inconsistency between the two assays is likely among samples with comparatively lower viral loads. When analyzing per lesions of CIN2+ and CIN3+, the CtV from Cobas4800 and VL (lg) from BMRT are highly correlated inversely and follow the linear regression for HPV16 and 12-HPV pool (Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient (r): In CIN3+, r HPV16 = -0.641, P < 0.001; r 12-HPVpool = -0.343, P = 0.109; In CIN2+, r HPV16 = -0.754, P < 0.001; r 12-HPVpool = -0.429, P < 0.001). Conclusion: The CtV from Cobas4800 and the viral loads (lg) of per unit cells from the BMRT are well correlated for lesion grading when tested on physician-collected samples. Cobas-CtV is worthy of further study for clinical application.

Objectives: Worldwide, around 18.2% of cervical cancer occurred in China, mainly because of lower screening coverage and screening quality in regional disparities. To assess self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, combined with the internet, as a primary cervical cancer screening (CCS) method in low-resource settings, and to establish an internet-based self-sampling CCS-management model. Methods: The women who participated registered on a CCS website. We recruited 20,136 women, aged 30-59 years, from 13 provinces in China, to perform vaginal self-sampling for HPV testing as a primary CCS, based on the internet. A questionnaire was subsequently used to investigate the acceptability of self-sampling. Results: Of the 20,103 women with qualified samples, 35.80% lived in remote areas, 37.69% had never undergone CCS, 59.96% were under-screened, and the overall prevalence of a high-risk of HPV was 13.86%. Of 8,136 respondents, 95.97% of women felt that self-sampling was easy to perform, 84.61% had no discomfort when using a self-sampling brush, 62.37% women were more likely to choose self-sampling for CCS in future, and 92.53% were willing to introduce the concept to others around them. The reliability and ease of self-sampling were independent factors influencing selection of self-sampling (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The Internet-facilitated self-sampling for HPV testing and management model for cervical cancer prevention is feasible and effective. It can be used as a supplement to the conventional screening, particularly in outlying areas with few medical resources, to improve the coverage of CCS.

Background: The disparities of hr-HPV infection among races/ethnicities have not been fully discussed. This study aimed to investigate the difference of hr-HPV infection between Chinese Han and Mongols minority women in Inner Mongolia. Methods: Genotyping and histopathology data of Chinese Han and Mongols minority women in Inner Mongolia from Chinese Multi-Center Screening Trial were used to analyze the hr-HPV prevalence, and type-specific distribution in abnormal pathology results. Results: The hr-HPV infection rates of Han women was 15.9% while of Mongols was 21.6% (P < 0.001). The most prevalent genotypes in Han women were ranked as HPV-16,-52,-18/-58,-31/-39, and-59 while in Mongols were-16,-31,-58,-18 and-52. When analyzing the age-specific of hr-HPV infection, two peaks were found at age of 40-44 (20.5%) and 55-59 (23.5%) years in Han women while three peaks were observed at age of 30-34 (22.1%), 45-49 (22.9%), and 55-59 (31.8%) years, respectively, in Mongols. HPV-16 accounting for 62.5 and 53.8% of the CINII+ in Han and Mongols, respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of hr-HPV was significantly different between the Han and Mongols minority women in Inner Mongolia, races/ethnicities background should be taken into consideration for the refinement of cervical cancer screening strategies and vaccine implementation in China.

PURPOSE: This ongoing trial is comparing the efficacy and safety of three ablation treatments for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher. Here, we present early data regarding pain, side effects, and acceptability of CO2 gas-based cryotherapy (CO2), nongas cryotherapy, and thermal ablation (TA). Efficacy results are expected to become available in late 2023. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This noninferiority randomized trial is taking place in El Salvador, China, and Colombia. Patients are 1,152 eligible women with biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher who will receive one of three ablation treatments. Pain is measured before, during, and after treatment with a visual analog scale (1-10). Side effects and acceptability are assessed at 6 weeks. RESULTS: To date, 1,024 of 1,152 (89%) women were randomly assigned to treatment. The median pain level was higher during TA (4, IQR = 4) than CO2 (2, IQR = 4) or nongas cryotherapy (2, IQR = 4) (P < .01, range: 0-10). The most common post-treatment symptom was watery discharge, reported by 97.9% of women, and it lasted longer in the CO2 group than the other two treatments (in days, median [IQR]: CO2 = 20[20], nongas cryotherapy = 15[10], TA = 18[15], P < .01). Bleeding was reported more frequently in women treated with TA (27.6%) than CO2 (17.5) or nongas cryotherapy (18.7%) (P < .01). The majority of patients reported being very satisfied with the treatment they received at 6 weeks (91%) and again at 12 months post-treatment (97%). CONCLUSION: Despite differences in pain and side effects across ablation treatments, all were safe and highly acceptable to patients. In addition to efficacy, considerations such as cost and portability may be more significant in choosing a treatment method.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and distribution of HPV genotypes among Chinese Han women, and to explore the risk of high-grade cervical lesions associated with individual hr-HPV genotypes. METHODS: Genotyping and histopathology data from the Chinese Multi-Center Screening Trial (CHIMUST) and its pilot screening trial, from 6 regions across mainland China, were re-analyzed. The data from physician- and self-collected samples from 10,867 Chinese Han women (ages 30-69) were used to determine the prevalence and distribution of hr-HPV and to explore the risk association between hr-HPV genotypes and precancerous lesions. RESULTS: 9.2% of the study population tested hr-HPV positive in physician-collected sample. The prevalence varied regionally from the lowest in Guangdong (6.3%) to the highest in Inner Mongolia (13.0%). The most prevalent genotypes found were HPV-52 (21.7%), HPV-16 (19.2%), HPV-58 (15.0%), HPV-39 (8.9%), and HPV-51 (8.2%). The overall odds ratios for CIN2+ and CIN3+ for the presence of HPV-16 was 58.6 (95% CI 39.2-87.5) and, 91.6 (95%CI 54.3-154.6), respectively and remained the highest odds ratio for CIN3+ in all 6 regions. CONCLUSION: Geographical variation exists in the prevalence and distribution of hr-HPV in mainland China. HPV-16/52/58 were the most prevalent genotypes, and HPV-16 had the highest risk for high-grade cervical lesions. TRIAL REGISTRATION: CHIMUST, Registration number: ChiCTR-EOC-16008456 .
