AbstractObjectiveTo provide the first report on the main outcomes from the prevalence and incidence rounds of a large pilot of routine primary high risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing in England, compared with contemporaneous primary liquid based cytology screening.DesignObservational study.SettingThe English Cervical Screening Programme.Participants578 547 women undergoing cervical screening in primary care between May 2013 and December 2014, with follow-up until May 2017; 183 970 (32%) were screened with hrHPV testing.InterventionsRoutine cervical screening with hrHPV testing with liquid based cytology triage and two early recalls for women who were hrHPV positive and cytology negative, following the national screening age and interval recommendations.Main outcome measuresFrequency of referral for a colposcopy; adherence to early recall; and relative detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse from hrHPV testing compared with liquid based cytology in two consecutive screening rounds.ResultsBaseline hrHPV testing and early recall required approximately 80% more colposcopies, (adjusted odds ratio 1.77, 95% confidence interval 1.73 to 1.82), but detected substantially more cervical intraepithelial neoplasia than liquid based cytology (1.49 for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse, 1.43 to 1.55; 1.44 for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse, 1.36 to 1.51) and for cervical cancer (1.27, 0.99 to 1.63). Attendance at early recall and colposcopy referral were 80% and 95%, respectively. At the incidence screen, the 33 506 women screened with hrHPV testing had substantially less cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse than the 77 017 women screened with liquid based cytology (0.14, 0.09 to 0.23).ConclusionsIn England, routine primary hrHPV screening increased the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse and cervical cancer by approximately 40% and 30%, respectively, compared with liquid based cytology. The very low incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse after three years supports extending the screening interval.

Given the causal relation between a persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection and the development of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer, hrHPV testing has been advocated in addition to cytology for the detection of clinically relevant cervical lesions. HrHPV testing is thought to improve cervical screening algorithms, the management of women with cytologically equivocal smears, and the management of women treated for high grade CIN. In this chapter we discuss different methods for HPV detection and genotyping and their respective applications.

Optimizing the management of patients with HPV-associated cervical diseases remains a priority for the modern studies on this issue. The human papillomavirus is divided into two types: high-risk and low-risk types according to its malignant potential to cause cervical cancer and some other oncological diseases. Human papillomavirus can clear spontaneously in 85-90% cases, but the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive cervical cancer is quite high in persistent high-risk oncogenic infection. The virus presence in the body tissues cannot be considered as a marker for progression or regression of the pathological process in the strict sense, even though cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer develop in HPV-positive patients in the vast majority of cases. These studies are aimed at searching for the new and improving existing methods for early diagnosis of precancerous diseases and cervical cancer. The development of the HPV-associated pathological process is known to be dependent on the human immune system status. The virus provokes a cellular immune response, which is expressed as changes in interferon status, cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells, methylation processes, etc. The use of a holistic approach to treatment, a comdoibination of traditional therapy, antigen-specific vaccination and administration of immunomodulating agents seems relevant for patients with persistent high-risk oncogenic papilloma virus, as well as precancerous diseases and cervical cancer. The use of immunomodulators in the complex treatment of virus-associated diseases contributes to relief of symptoms and reduction of the recurrence rate.
