Abstract

Background

This study was conducted to identify the risk of residual or recurrent high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or worse (HSIL+) in patients with successful conization and to develop a customized management strategy.

Methods

This retrospective study included 939 patients who underwent cold knife conization (CKC) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 at a hospital in China between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020. Demographic characteristics and test results were obtained before and 6, 12, and 24 months after CKC and annually thereafter. Human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence was defined as HPV positive at both 6 and 12 months after CKC, and the primary endpoint was residual or recurrent HSIL+ after CKC.

Results

The mean follow-up period was 68.8 months. In total, 61 (6.5%) patients had HPV persistence, and 19 (2.0%) had residual or recurrent HSIL+. The risk of residual or recurrent HSIL+ was increased in patients with HPV infection at 6 months (hazard ratio [HR], 84.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 11.2–641) and 12 months (HR, 214; 95% CI, 28.1–1625) after CKC, and HPV persistence after CKC (HR, 244; 95% CI, 32.2–1854). Comparing two different colposcopic referral criteria for HPV persistence and HPV positive 6 months post-CKC, substantially fewer colposcopies were performed per case of residual or recurrent HSIL+ detected in patients with HPV persistence after CKC (3.39 vs. 8.28).

Conclusions

The risk of residual or recurrent HSIL+ was higher in patients with HPV persistence after CKC. In patients with negative margins, extending the follow-up interval to 12 months may reduce the number of HPV tests and colposcopy referral rates while maintaining HSIL+ detection.

期刊介绍： Cancer Medicine is a peer-reviewed, open access, interdisciplinary journal providing rapid publication of research from global biomedical researchers across the cancer sciences. The journal will consider submissions from all oncologic specialties, including, but not limited to, the following areas: Clinical Cancer Research Translational research ∙ clinical trials ∙ chemotherapy ∙ radiation therapy ∙ surgical therapy ∙ clinical observations ∙ clinical guidelines ∙ genetic consultation ∙ ethical considerations Cancer Biology: Molecular biology ∙ cellular biology ∙ molecular genetics ∙ genomics ∙ immunology ∙ epigenetics ∙ metabolic studies ∙ proteomics ∙ cytopathology ∙ carcinogenesis ∙ drug discovery and delivery. Cancer Prevention: Behavioral science ∙ psychosocial studies ∙ screening ∙ nutrition ∙ epidemiology and prevention ∙ community outreach. Bioinformatics: Gene expressions profiles ∙ gene regulation networks ∙ genome bioinformatics ∙ pathwayanalysis ∙ prognostic biomarkers. Cancer Medicine publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper.
