Q

HPV test and cytology difference

A

HPV is positive or negative with cervical cells - machine detects infection and is sensitive
cytology is human interpretation of the cells and cellular change. specific

19
Q

HPV negative - what happens?

A

recall in 5 years

20
Q

HPV positive - what happens?

A

cytology normal repeat in 1 year

dyskariosis –> colposcopy

21
Q

colposcopy

A

magnification and light to see cervix
exclude obvious malignancy
acetic acid and iodine

22
Q

use of acetic acid and iodine in colposcopy

A

identify area for biopsy
identify limits of lesion
define area to treat

23
Q

Options for management - CIN

A

punch biopsy

return for treatment if CIN2/3

24
Q

E7 protein products

A

prevents cell cycle arrest

25
Q

E6 protein product

A

inhibits cell death

26
Q

Low risk HPV

A

6,11,42,44

genital warts, infection transient, low grade CIN

27
Q

High risk HPV

A

16,18,31,45

persistent infection and high risk of high grade CIN and cancer

28
Q

How does high risk HPV –> high grade CIN?

A

viral DNA integrates in host cell genome
over expression of viral E6+7 proteins
deregulation of host cell cycle

29
Q

CIN description

A

invisible to naked eye

dysplasia -squamous epithelium and abnormal change

30
Q

Treating CIN

A

LLETZ
Thermal coagulation
laser ablation

31
Q

Following up after CIN treatment

A

LBC at 6 months for cytology and high risk HPV
both negative - return to recall
either positive - colposcopy

32
Q

cervical cancer epidemiology

A

2500/UK/year and 1200 death

10th most common cancer in women in Scotland

33
Q

6 risk factors for cervical cancer

A
HPV 16&18
peak age 45-55 
multiple partners 
early age of intercourse 
older partner 
smoker
34
Q

5 symptoms of cervical cancer

A
PMB 
post coital bleeding 
abnormal bleeding 
pain 
discharge
35
Q

Diagnosing cervical cancer

A

clinical, screening - aim to detect pre cancer, biopsy

36
Q

Most common type of cervical cancer

A

squamous

37
Q

stage2,3,4 of cervical cancer

A

2 - vagina upper 2/3
3 - lower vagina, pelvis
4 - bladder, rectum

38
Q

mets of cervical cancer

A

lymphatic - pelvic LN

blood - liver, lungs, bone

39
Q

staging by cervical cancer

A

EUA, PET-CT, MRI

40
Q

treatment of cervical cancer

A

1a1: type 3 excision or hysterectomy
1b-2a: radical hysterectomy or chemo/radio
2b-4:chemo/radio

41
Q

What is removed in radical hysterectomy

A

uterus, cervix, upper vagina
parametria
pelvic LN

42
Q

chemo

A

5 cycles of cisplatin

43
