Cervical Disease – Risk factors • HPV • Smoking – 2 fold increase • Young age at 1st coitus • Multiple sexual partners • A partner with multiple sexual partners • High parity • Lower socioeconomic status • Young age at 1st pregnancy
Cervical Disease • HPV associated with 99.7% of all cervical cancer • HPV types associated with higher oncogenic risk: • 16, 18 • 31, 33, 35 • 45 • 51, 56
HPV • Obligatory intra-nuclear virus • Most remit spontaneously • 5% of infected women have persistent infection
PAP test • Only a screening test • Goal: • To prevent cervical cancer
Histology of (SIL) squamous intraepithelial lesions. Grade 1 = CIN 1; Grade 2 = CIN 2; Grade 3 = CIN 3
Potential Co-Factors in Cervical Carcinogenesis • Other infectious agents • Herpes • Chlamydia • HIV and other immunosuppression • Diet • Smoking • Hormonal contraceptives • Weak immunomodulatory effect • Eversion of columnar epithelium • Decrease in blood folate levels • Progesterone effect on HPV
Management of Adolescent Women (<18 yrs) with histological diagnosis of CIN – Grade 1 < 18 yrs old with CIN 1 Repeat Cytology at 12 mos < HSIL > HSIL Repeat Cytology at 12 mos Negative > ASC Colposcopy Routine Screening
Management of Adolescent women (<18 yrs) with histological diagnosis of CIN – grade 2,3 <18 yrs old with CIN 2,3 Either treatment or observation is acceptable, provided colposcopy is satisfactory. When CIN 2 is specified, observation is preferred. When CIN 3 is specified, or colposcopy is unsatisfactory, treatment is recommended. Observation OR Treatment With colposcopy and cytology with excision or at 6 mos intervals for 24 mos ablation of T-zone 2x negative cytology colposcopy worsens or And normal colpo. High-grade cytology or colpo. Persists for 1 yr. Routine Screening Repeat Biopsy CIN 3, or CIN 2 that persists Recommended for 24 mos since initial dx
Management of Women with Atypical Squamous Cells: Cannot exclude high grade SIL (ASC – H) >20 yrs old with ASC-H Coloposcopic Examination
Management of Women with Atypical Squamous cells of undetermined significance - ASC-US >20 yrs old with ASC-US Repeat Cytology HPV DNA testing @ 4-6 mos Negative >ASC Positive Negative (for high risk type) Repeat @ 4-6 mos Colposcopy Repeat cytol. @ 12 mos
Summary for the non-gynecologist ASCUS Negative HPV type Positive Repeat Pap Refer for in 6 mos coloposcopy
CIN 1 – mild dysplasia < 18 yrs old >18 yrs old Repeat Pap Colposcopy
CIN 2,3 Colposcopy
Confirmed CIN 2,3 Excision (adolescents may perform colposcopy q 6 mos up to 24 mos)
Interventional Techniques - Excisional • Conization • Cone of tissue is excised for further examination and/or to remove a lesion • Tissue is usually stained with iodine to demarcate the area of resection • Cold knife • Laser • LEEP • Loop electrosurgical excision procedure • May be complicated by burn artifacts • Ablative • Cryotherapy • Use of a probe containing carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide to freeze the entire transformation zone and area or the lesion • Laser vaporization therapy
Atypical Glandular Cells AGUS Colposcopy ECC Endometrial Sample, women >35 yrs
Cervical Cancer – staging review • Stage 0: CIS, CIN grade III • Stage 1: carcinoma strictly confined to the cervix • Stage 2: cervical carcinoma invades beyond the uterus, but not to the pelvic wall or to the lower third of the vagina • Stage 3: carcinoma has extended to the pelvic wall. On rectal exam there is no cancer-free space between the tumor and the pelvic wall. The tumor involves the lower 1/3 of the vagina. All cases with hydronephrosis or non-functioning kidney unless known to be due to other causes. • Stage 4: Carcinoma has extended beyond the true pelvis, or has involved the mucosa of the bladder or rectum.
Cervical Cancer Staging • Stage 0: The cancer cells are very superficial (only affecting the surface) are found only in the layer of cells lining the cervix, and they have not grown into (invaded) deeper tissues of the cervix. This stage is also called carcinoma in situ (CIS) or cervical intraepithelial neoplasis (CIN) grade III.
Cervical Cancer Staging • Stage I: In this stage the cancer has invaded the cervix, but it has not spread anywhere else. • Stage IA: This is the earliest form of stage I. There is a very small amount of cancer, and it can be seen only under a microscope. • Stage IA1: The area of invasion is less than 3 mm (about 1/8-inch) deep and less than 7 mm (about 1/4-inch) wide. • Stage IA2: The area of invasion is between 3 mm and 5 mm (about 1/5-inch) deep and less than 7 mm (about 1/4-inch) wide. • Stage IB: This stage includes Stage I cancers that can be seen without a microscope. This stage also includes cancers that can only be seen with a microscope if they have spread deeper than 5 mm (about 1/5 inch) into connective tissue of the cervix or are wider than 7 mm. • Stage IB1: The cancer can be seen but it is not larger than 4 cm (about 1 3/5 inches). • Stage IB2: The cancer can be seen and is larger than 4 cm
Cervical Cancer Staging • Stage II: In this stage, the cancer has grown beyond the cervix and uterus, but hasn't spread to the walls of the pelvis or the lower part of the vagina. • Stage IIA: The cancer has not spread into the tissues next to the cervix (called the parametria). The cancer may have grown into the upper part of the vagina. • Stage IIB: The cancer has spread into the tissues next to the cervix
Cervical Cancer Staging • Stage III: The cancer has spread to the lower part of the vagina or the pelvic wall. The cancer may be blocking the ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder). • Stage IIIA: The cancer has spread to the lower third of the vagina but not to the pelvic wall. • Stage IIIB: The cancer has grown into the pelvic wall. If the tumor has blocked the ureters (a condition called hydronephrosis) it is also a stage IIIB.
Cervical Cancer Staging • Stage IV: This is the most advanced stage of cervical cancer. The cancer has spread to nearby organs or other parts of the body. • Stage IVA: The cancer has spread to the bladder or rectum, which are organs close to the cervix. • Stage IVB: The cancer has spread to distant organs beyond the pelvic area, such as the lungs.
Question #1. • What if HGSIL pap and normal colposcopy?
Answer #1. • LEEP or cone biopsy.
Question #2. • Biopsy on face cervix is normal and ECC is positive, what is the next step?
Answer #2. • LEEP or cone biopsy.
There is hope! • Gardisil immunization guards against types 6, 11, 16, and 18. • Administer at 0, 2, and 6 months for females 9 years or older.
Phase 2 Trial of Quadrivalent HPV Vaccine: Conclusions • The vaccine was highly effective in reducing incidence of persistent HPV infection • Efficacy with regard to clinical disease associated with HPV types 6,11,16,18, was 100% • The vaccine was highly immunogenic, inducing high antibody titers to each HPV type • The vaccine was generally well tolerated
Do condoms help prevent? • YES! • 60% decrease in transmission • Does not eliminate risk.
Pap smear schedules: • Many different recommendations • ACOG • APGO • ACS
Pap smear recommendations • 1st pap by age 21 or within 3 years of 1st coitus • Annually until the age of 30 • Pap with HPV at age 30, then can perform every few years.
Pap smear recommendations: • Post Menopausal • Some guidelines: No Pap • ACOG: q 3-5 years • Hysterectomized female: • If hysterectomy for benign reasons, then pap q 3-5 years • Yearly if: • Cervix present • History of abnormal paps • History of gyne cancer • History of DES exposure • History of cervical cancer • Smoking (increases chance of vaginal cancer)
