Extended human papillomavirus genotype distribution in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cancer: Analysis of 40 352 cases from a large academic gynecologic center in China.

Our aim was to conduct a large epidemiologic analysis of the distribution of human papilloma virus (HPV) genotypes associated with cervical neoplasias and cancers at a major Chinese gynecologic center. The pathologic database was searched for cervical histopathologic diagnoses with prior HPV genotyping from liquid cervical cytology specimens obtained ≤6 months before biopsy. HPV testing was performed by using the Tellgenplex HPV27 or YanengBio HPV23 genotyping assays. A total of 40 352 cases meeting study criteria were identified. High risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) was detected in 94.1% of squamous cancers compared to in only 83.3% of cervical adenocarcinomas. The prevalence of multiple HPV infections was highest in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (CIN1) (33.8%) and decreased with increasing severity of squamous lesions. The distribution of HPV genotypes was similar between CIN1 and histopathologic-negative cases. HPV16 was one of the three most common hrHPV genotypes before all histopathologic abnormalities, ranging from 72.0% for cervical cancers, 38.7% for CIN2/3/AIS, 13.1% for CIN1, and 9.1% for biopsy-negative cases. HPV16 and HPV18 accounted for over 87.2% of detected hrHPV genotypes for all glandular intraepithelial neoplastic lesions and cancers, whereas squamous lesions did not show this pattern. 80.3% of cervical cancers were associated with genotypes covered by HPV16/18 vaccines and 89.6% with genotypes covered by 9-valent vaccination.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and 18/45 Genotyping-Directed Follow-up of Women With Messenger RNA HPV-Positive, Cytology-Negative Cervical Screening Test Results.

OBJECTIVES: In this study, we sought to correlate genotype test results for human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16, 18, and 45 with histopathologic follow-up diagnoses in patients with messenger RNA (mRNA) high-risk HPV-positive, cytology-negative results. METHODS: We identified 1,157 patients with mRNA HPV-positive, cytology-negative cervical screening test results between June 2015 and June 2018. Reflex HPV 16/18/45 genotype results were documented in 1,018 women aged 30 years or older, 318 of whom had follow-up within 18 months. RESULTS: Histopathologic findings of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or worse (CIN2+) were diagnosed in 14 of 122 (11.5%) patients positive for HPV 16/18/45 vs in seven of 196 (3.6%) HPV 16/18/45-negative patients. Three patients with high-risk HPV-positive, cytology-negative cervical screening test results were diagnosed with stage I cervical adenocarcinomas following early colposcopic referral and biopsy after HPV 16/18/45-positive genotype results. CONCLUSIONS: Immediate reflex HPV 16/18/45 genotyping of mRNA HPV-positive, cytology-negative patients led to early colposcopic referral and histopathologic diagnoses of three difficult-to-detect, low-stage, cervical adenocarcinomas and significantly increased overall early detection of CIN2+ lesions.

HPV detection rates and histopathologic follow-up of patients with HSIL cytology in a large academic women's hospital laboratory.

INTRODUCTION: High risk (hr) human papillomavirus (HPV) testing has been proposed as a possible replacement for Papanicolaou (Pap) cytology for cervical screening. The aim of the present study was to assess the hrHPV detection rates using 3 available Food and Drug Administration-approved HPV assays in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) cytology results and to correlate the cervical screening test results with the immediate histopathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cases with positive HSIL ThinPrep cytology findings, concurrent hrHPV testing results, and histopathologic follow-up results obtained within 6 months of the Pap/HPV co-testing were identified from July 2010 to April 2018. RESULTS: A total of 943 HSIL Pap tests were identified with adjunctive hrHPV co-testing, and hrHPV was detected in 883 (93.6%) of these 943 cases. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ≥2 (CIN2+) lesions were diagnosed in 71.5% of patients, including 3.2% with invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In all hrHPV testing platforms, the detection rate for CIN2+ was significantly greater for the patients with positive HPV testing (72.7%) than for those with negative HPV testing (53.4%). However, CIN2+ lesions, including 3 cases of SCC, were found in 24 of 45 women (53.4%) with HSIL Pap and negative HPV testing results. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of CIN2+ histopathologic findings was significantly greater for patients with hrHPV-positive HSIL results. However, a subset of patients with HPV-negative HSIL results were found to have CIN2+ lesions, including SCC. The long-term effects of primary HPV screening on cervical cancer incidence, stage, and prognosis remain uncertain.
