ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association between endocervical adenocarcinoma (ECA) and HPV (Human papillomavirus) infection, as well as the characteristics of ECA distribution in China.METHODS:
A total of 756 specimens were collected from seven geographic regions across China. All cases were histologically categorized according to the 2020 WHO classification of female genital tract cancers, and 496 cases were included. We performed the SPF10-DEIA-LiPA25 assay on all specimens' whole tissue sections using PCR (WTS-PCR) to detect HPV DNA and 141 WTS-PCR HPV-positive specimens were selected for the laser capture microdissection (LCM).RESULTS:
Four predominant prevalent histological categories of ECA in China were usual type (51.8%, 257), invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (iSMILE) (11.5%, 57), mucinous NOS (not otherwise specid) (10.3%, 51), and gastric type (7.9%, 39). HPV positivity was 91.4% (235/257), 100.0% (57/57), and 90.2% (46/51) in usual type, iSMILE, and mucinous NOS by WTS-PCR detection, respectively (P < 0.001). LCM-PCR results showed a decreasing trend in HPV DNA positivity, and 21 (95.5%) patients with HPV-I were negative for HPV-DNA in glandular epithelial tissue. The most prevalent HPV genotypes in ECA were HPV16 (47.5%), 18 (40.8%), and 52 (6.5%). The average age of patients with HPVA was 44.9 years, while that of patients with HPV-I was 49.1 years, HPVA is more prevalent in younger females in China (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
In China, the predominant prevalent histological category of ECA is the usual type of adenocarcinoma, followed by iSMILE. Additionally, patients with HPVA tended to be younger than those with HPV-I.
