ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The main aim of this study was to investigate the long-term risk of disease recurrence in women treated for high-grade vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-VaIN).METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective analysis on a cohort of 82 women diagnosed with HG-VaIN between 2010 and 2021 at the "Regional Referral Center for Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of HPV-related Genital Disorders", Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy. All women underwent either ablative treatment (CO2 laser ablation or electrocoagulation) or cold-knife excision.RESULTS:
In our series, the recurrence rate following treatment was 17%. The 5-year cumulative probability of recurrence was 30.4% and the median time to recurrence was 15.5 months. None of the patients progressed to invasive vaginal cancer during follow-up. A concomitant cervical or vulvar intraepithelial lesion was significatively associated with an increased risk of recurrence (p = 0.006).CONCLUSIONS:
The results of our study suggest that women with HG-VaIN are at high risk of developing disease recurrence after treatment, especially patients with a concomitant cervical or vulvar intraepithelial lesion. In these women strict monitoring is mandatory to obtain an early identification of recurrence.Palabras clave
