Abstract Context.—Although human papillomavirus (HPV) testing may aid in managing low-grade abnormality on screening cervical cytology, patient compliance with repeat testing programs requires consideration. Objectives.—To determine effectiveness and costs of repeated Papanicolaou (Pap) test and oncogenic HPV testing for detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3. Design.—We conducted a randomized controlled trial of combined Pap test and cervical HPV testing by Hybrid Capture 1 test compared with Pap test alone; tests were performed every 6 months for up to 2 years. The study end point was colposcopic examination performed on all women at 2 years, or earlier if an HPV test was positive or if a Pap test showed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Setting.—Sixty-six community family practices. Participants.—Two hundred fifty-seven women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on screening cervical cytology. Main Outcome Measures.—Detection of histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3, fully allocated costs, and loss to follow-up. Results.—Combined Pap test and HPV testing detected 11 (100%) of 11 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3, whereas Pap test alone detected 7 (63.6%) of these 11 cases (P = .14); corresponding specificities were 39 (46.4%) of 84 and 45 (71.4%) of 63 (P = .005). The cost-effectiveness ratio was Can $4456 per additional case of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Sixty-nine (26.8%) of the 257 women (24.6% combined group vs 29.1% Pap test only group, P = .41) defaulted from testing or from colposcopy when referred with an abnormal result. Conclusions.—Combined testing was more costly but may detect more cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 than Pap test alone. However, poor adherence limits usefulness of a management strategy that requires repeated follow-up.

Abstract Context.—High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and 3) are commonly treated with loop electrosurgery excision procedure (LEEP) biopsies. Objective.—To highlight the significance of positive margins and extent of positive margins of the cervical LEEP biopsies in predicting the persistence of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and to provide suggestions for reporting margins in cervical LEEP biopsies. Design.—The pathology files at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences were searched for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and 3 treated by LEEP biopsy from 1990 to 2001. Results.—A total of 489 LEEP biopsy specimens were retrieved and reviewed; 270 patients had follow-up within 1 year. The biopsy specimens of 110 patients showed positive endocervical margins. One hundred sixty specimens had negative ectocervical-endocervical margins. Follow-up of 54% of the cases with initial positive margins showed residual high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. This association was even greater when multiple blocks showed positive endocervical margins and in cases with positive deep margins. On the other hand, a negative margin predicted ability to completely remove the lesion in 95% of patients. Conclusion.—This study reiterates the significance of the evaluation of the margin, even in samples that were received as multiple fragments. Reporting of LEEP biopsy findings should include the extent of the dysplasia, the status of the ectocervical-endocervical margin, and the status of the deep margin.
