cervical abnormalities Flashcards
1
Q
what are the classifications for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)?
A
- CIN1- equivalent to LSIS
- CIN2- if p16 neg then LSIS, if p16 pos then HSIS
- CIN3- equivalent to HSIS
2
Q
pathogenesis of CIN
A
- 99% from HPV d/t sexual contact
- older age= less likely to clear infection
- longer the infection persists= longer it takes to clear

Q
latent HPV infection
A
- without manifestations
- HPV DNA just in cytoplasm
9
Q
active HPV infection
A
- HPV undergoes replication
- NOT integrated into genome
- DNA just in cytoplasm
10
Q
neoplastic HPV transformation
A
- DNA gets integrated into host genome
11
Q
cofactors in HPV pathogenesis
A
- immunosuppression
- cigarette smoking
- herpes, chlamydia
- OCPs
12
Q
what is HPV cotesting
A
- perform pap and HPV testing at the same time
