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.

IntroductionEighty per cent of the sexually active population will get human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Persistence of high-grade HPV infection may evolve to a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and these lesions may be precursors of cervical cancer. However, this progression can be prevented by the administration of therapeutic vaccines which use the main oncoproteins responsible for cancer development in an attempt to trigger a more specific and effective immunological response against this disorder. We aim to evaluate the safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of therapeutic vaccines in the treatment of patients with high-grade CIN 2/3 associated with HPV.Methods and analysisA systematic review of clinical trials will be undertaken. Medline, Excerpta Medica Database, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Scopus will be searched, with no restriction regarding publication date. Primary outcomes will include measures related to safety, efficacy and the immunogenicity of the therapeutic vaccines used in these patients. Study selection will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Methodological appraisal of the studies will be assessed by the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool for randomised controlled trials, and the quality evidence of the risk of bias in single studies will be evaluated by Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. A narrative synthesis will be done for all included studies. Outcomes will be analysed according to the subgroups of HPV type, CIN grade, route of vaccine administration and vaccine type. Also, if sufficient data are available, a meta-analysis will be conducted. The effect sizes will be generated using Hedges’ g score for both fixed and random effect models. I2statistics will be used to assess heterogeneity and identify their potential sources.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required as primary data will not be collected. Findings will be disseminated widely via peer-reviewed publication and in different media, for example, conferences, congresses or symposia.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017077428.

AbstractHost cell DNA methylation analysis in urine provides promising triage markers for women diagnosed with a high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. In this study, we have investigated a panel of six host cell methylation markers (GHSR, SST, ZIC1, ASCL1, LHX8, ST6GALNAC5) in cervicovaginal secretions collected within the first part of the urine void (FVU) from a referral population. Cytology, histology, and HPV DNA genotyping results on paired FVU and cervical samples were available. Urinary median methylation levels from HR-HPV (n = 93) positive women were found to increase for all markers with severity of underlying disease. Significantly elevated levels were observed for GHSR and LHX8 in relation to high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2 +; n = 33), with area under de curve values of 0.80 (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.59–0.92) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.58–0.89), respectively. These findings are the first to support the assertion that methylation analysis of host cell genes is feasible in FVU and holds promise as molecular, triage strategy to discern low- from high-grade cervical disease in HR-HPV positive women. Molecular testing on FVU may serve to increase cervical cancer screening attendance in hard-to-reach populations whilst reducing loss to follow-up and await further optimization and validation studies.

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) refers to precancerous changes in the cervix. After surgical treatment, a certain proportion of patients remain at risk of disease reccurence. Therefore, monitoring of patients after CIN surgery is an important and necessary part of their management tactics. Objective. Review of world literature on modern approaches to patients monitoring after using excisional methods of CIN treatment. Materials and methods. The information material includes data from scientific articles on the subject available in Pubmed and published over the past 20 years. Results. The analysis of data contained in modern literature on the frequency and risk factors for the development of reccurent CIN after excisional methods of treatment, diagnostic methods, the timing of follow-up examinations during post-operative monitoring, the main approaches to monitoring in different countries and the effectiveness of the proposed strategies for postoperative follow-up of patients after treatment was conducted. It was established that the approaches to the observation of this category of patients differ in various countries. Almost everywhere, the priority tool for monitoring of patients with CIN after treatment is a combined test, which involves a joint use of cytology and human papillomavirus tests. The main difference between countries is the timing of the first post-treatment follow-up visit. In some countries a follow-up visit is recommended within 24 months, while in others it is suggested to return to routine screening if the primary combined test is negative. Conclusion. Despite existing disagreements, the proposed post-operative monitoring strategies for CIN patients provide a fairly high percentage of “healing” and return to routine screening. Key words: human papillomavirus, monitoring, cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, excisional treatment
