#140 Management of Abnormal Cervical Cancer Screening Test Results and Cervical Cancer Precursors Flashcards
Is HPV infection more likely to be transient or permanent?
Transient

Teenagers and early 20s
What is the lifetime risk of HPV infection?
80%
In what time frame do young healthy women typically clear HPV infection?
Average of 8 months.
In the young population, does clearing of HPV also lead to spontaneous resolution of cervical neoplasia?
Most of the time
What is CIN1?
Manifestation of acute HPV infection
How is CIN1 managed?
Usually can be managed expectantly
What is the typical time course of progression from CIN 3 to invasive cancer?
Between 8.1 to 12.6 years
What %tage of women with LSIL will have CIN2-3?
28%
Is HPV testing more or less sensitive to cytology testing?
More sensitive. Less specific.
What increases the sensitivity of colposcopy?
Additional biopsies. Increased detection with random biopsies in addition to directed biopsies
What techniques can be used for endocervical sampling during colposcopy?
Sharp curette, vigorous endocervical brushing, or both. Curette followed by brush.
When should endocervical sampling be performed at time of colposcopy?
- Women with ASCUS or LSIL with no lesion on colposcopy, unsatisfactory colposcopy, previous excision or ablation of transformation zone
- Women with ASC-H, HSIL, AGC, or AIS ECC should be considered part of initial colpo exam, unless excision is planned
How frequent do you perform cervical cytology screening?
q3 years
How frequently do you perform cervical cotesting?
q5 years
How long after treatment do women with hx CIN2+ have increased risk of recurrence?
Up to 20 years
At what age do you start cervical cancer screening for general population?
21 years old
What does LSIL represent?
Productive HPV infection, majority transiet and unlikely to progress to cancer. CIN1
What does HSIL represent?
Precancerous lesions. CIN 2 and CIN 3
How do you manage an unsatisfactory cervical cytology test result and no, unknown, or negative HPV?
Repeat cytology in 2-4 months
How do you manage unsatisfactory cervical cytology with positive HPV co-test (>30yo)?
Repeat cytology in 2-4mo or colposcopy
How do you manage two consecutive unsatisfactory cervical cytology test results?
Colposcopy
How do you manage negative cytology test results with absent or insufficient endocervical-transformation zone component (age 21-29)?
Routine screening recommended. HPV testing is unacceptable.
How do you manage negative cytology test results with absent or insufficient endocervical-transformation zone component and no or unknown HPV testing (age >30)?
HPV testing is preferred. Repeat cytology in 3 years if HPV testing not performed.
How do you manage >30yo NILM, HPV neg with absent or insufficient endocervical-transformation zone?
Return to routine screening
How do you manage >30yo NILM, HPV+ with absent or insufficient endocervical-transformation zone?
Repeat cotesting in 1 year is acceptable. Genotyping is acceptable, if HPV 16 or 18, colposcopy is recommended. If 16, 18 negative, repeat cotesting in 12 mo
Do women with insufficient endocervical-transformation zones sampling on pap have an increased risk of having CIN2+?
No
How do you manage a 30+ year old with cytology negative, HPV positive pap smear?
Option 1: HPV genotyping, HR HPV -> colposcopy
Option 2: cotesting 1 year
Next step in pap management:
30+ year old w/ NILM, HPV+ pap, repeat cotesting in 1 year is NILM, HPV neg
Repeat cotesting in 3 years
What pap result on cotesting 12 months after 30+ yo w/ NILM, HPV+ pap would lead you to do colposcopy?
HPV+ with any cytology.
ASCUS or greater
What is the % chance of CIN2+ with normal cytology and single HPV positive result?
2.2 - 6.1% risks
What is the risk of CIN3+ over the next several years in woman with HPV16?
Approaches 10%
What is next step in management: 25+yo ASCUS, HPV negative?
Repeat cotesting in 3 years
What is next step in management: 25yo+ ASCUS, HPV+
Colposcopy
What is next step in management? 25yo+ ASCUS, HPV+ with negative colposcopy
Cotesting at 12 months
What is next step in management? 25yo+ ASCUS, HPV+ > negative colpo > HPV+ at 12mo cotesting
Repeat colposcopy (colposcopy for anything ASCUS or higher or persistent HPV)
What is next step in management? 25yo+ ASCUS, HPV+ > negative colpo > Cotesting ASCUS HPV-
Repeat colposcopy (colposcopy for anything ASCUS or higher or persistent HPV)
What is the next step in management? 25yo+ with ASCUS and no HPV testing?
Repeat cytology at 1 year
What is the next step in management? 25yo+ ASCUS (no HPV testing) > 12mo cytology = ASCUS or higher
Colposcopy
What is the next step in management? 65yo+ (for whom you were planning to discontinue screening) w/ ASCUS results?
Consider abnormal, repeat testing in 12 months, cotesting preferred
What is the next step in management? 25yo+ LSIL, HPV negative?
Option 1: cotesting at 1 year (preferred)
Option 2: colposcopy (acceptable)
What is the next step in management? 25yo+, LSIL, HPV positive
Colposcopy
What is the next step in management? 25yo+ LSIL, HPV negative > repeat cotesting (1 yr) LSIL
Colposcopy. Colposcopy if repeat cotesting ASCUS or greater or HPV+
