What are the risk factors for increased risk for HPV?
- Early coitarche
- Multiple sexual partners (>/6)
- History of STI
- OCP use
- History of vulvovaginal dysplasia
Smoking is a risk factor of what CA in the lower genital tract?
Squamous cell CA
NOT adenoCA

Cytology alone
Local setting: annual screening by conventional cytology or biennial screening with liquid based cytology
[Secondary screening]
30-65 years old
- HPV and Cytology Co-testing every 5 years
- Cytology alone every 3 years
Local setting: annual screening by conventional cytology or biennial screening with liquid based cytology
[Secondary screening]
66 years old
3 negative PAP tests
No more screening
Not recommended for >65 years old with 3 consecutive negative Pap test or 2 consecutive negative HPV test

66 years old
no history of pap smear
Screen!

Screen!
What is the most common squamous abnormality?
ASCUS
[Cervical Cytologic Abnormality]
Atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude higher grade lesions
ASC-H
[Cervical Cytologic Abnormality]
Consistent with histology reports of low-grade dysplasia or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1)
LSIL
May resolve or progress
[Cervical Cytologic Abnormality]
more severe dysplasia or CIN 2/3
HSIL
20% will progress to cervical CA
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
ASC-US
21-24 years old
Repeat cytology yearly
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
LSIL
21-24 years old
Repeat cytology yearly
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
ASC-H
21-24 years old
Colposcopy + biopsy and ECC
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
HSIL
21-24 years old
Colposcopy + biopsy and ECC
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
ASC-US
25 to 65 years old
HPV testing preferred; repeat cytology is acceptable
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
LSIL, HPV status unknown
25 to 65 years old
Colposcopy +/- biopsy and ECC
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
LSIL, HPV negative
25 to 65 years old
Repeat cytology at 1 year; colposcopy acceptable
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
LSIL, HPV positive
25 to 65 years old
Colposcopy + biopsy and ECC
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
ASC-H
25 to 65 years old
Colposcopy + biopsy and ECC regardless of HPV status
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
HSIL
25 to 65 years old
Immediate LEEP or colposcopy + biopsy and ECC
[Management of Cytologic Abnormalities]
AGC
25 to 65 years old
Colposcopy + biopsy + ECC
EM biopsy if >35y/o
[Management of biopsy proven lesions]
LGSIL (CIN 1)
preceded by ASC-US, LSIL, HPV 16+, HPV 18+, persistent HPV
- Co-testing at 12 months
[Management of biopsy proven lesions]
LGSIL (CIN 1)
Preceded by ASC-H, HSIL
If adequate colposcopy: Ablation or diagnostic excisional procedures
If inadequate colposcopy: diagnostic excisional
procedures
Risk factors for cervical CA
- HPv
- Parity >7
- OCP use >5 years with HPV
- Current smokers and younger age at smoking
- Co-infected with chlamydia or HSV
- HIV
- Early age at sex <14 y/o
- Sex partners >6
- Pregnancy <17
- No screening
- Low socio-economic status
- Poor access to healthcare services,
[Cervical CA]
arising from ectocervix, most common
squamous cell CA
85 to 95%
[Cervical CA]
arising from endocervical columnar epithelium (10-15%)
AdenoCA
What is the most common symptom of cervical CA
Vaginal bleeding
other ssx:
post-coital bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, brownish, foul-smelling discharge
[Cervical CA staging]
Stage I
confined to the cervix
[Cervical CA staging]
Stage II
Cancer extends beyond cervix but not to pelvic wall or lower third of vagina
[Cervical CA staging]
Stage III
Cervix + pelvic wall + hydronephrosis/non-functioning kidney
