Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the risk of cervical glandular neoplasia with extended high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) genotyping, in patients with atypical glandular cells (AGC) cytology.
Methods: Cervical AGC cases with concurrent extended HPV genotyping between October 2017 and October 2023 were retrieved from the archives of Department of Pathology, Obstetrics, and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (OGHFU).
Results: A total of 497 AGC cases with extended hrHPV genotyping showed an hrHPV-positive rate of 32.0%. The top 4 hrHPV types were HPV18, 16, 52, and 59. A total of 304 cases had histological follow-up. A total of 72 cases (23.7%) had cervical adenocarcinoma in situ/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia3 or worse (AIS/CIN3+) lesions with 43 endocervical carcinoma (EC-ADC), 28 AIS, and 1 CIN3. Cervical AIS/CIN3+ lesions were detected in 50.5% (55/109) of the hrHPV-positive group.Women with HPV18/16/45 positivity had 77.6% cumulative risk of cervical AIS/CIN3 + lesions (52/67), accounting for 94.6% (52/55) of the total hrHPV-associated cervical AIS/CIN3+ lesions. For all 15 other hrHPV types, the overall risk of AIS/CIN3+ was 7.1% (3/42 cases). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the composite HPV18/16/45 group for detecting endocervical glandular neoplasia was 71.8%, 93.1%, 76.1%, and 91.6%, respectively. Endocervical carcinoma was found in 17 of 195 (8.7%) women with negative hrHPV testing, accounting for 39.5% EC-ADC (17/43) cases.
Conclusions: Atypical glandular cells was rarely related to CIN3. Atypical glandular cells was strongly related to AIS and EC-ADC. Women aged 30-49 years had highest risk for AIS/CIN3+ lesions. Although HPV test can be helpful, there were still some cases of HPV-negative endocervical adenocarcinomas. Extended HPV genotyping in AGC cases identified certain HPV types associated with a higher risk of cervical glandular lesions, potentially assisting with risk stratification.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the source for the latest science about benign and malignant conditions of the cervix, vagina, vulva, and anus.
The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original research original research that addresses prevalence, causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of lower genital tract disease. We publish clinical guidelines, position papers, cost-effectiveness analyses, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews, including meta-analyses. We also publish papers about research and reporting methods, opinions about controversial medical issues. Of particular note, we encourage material in any of the above mentioned categories that is related to improving patient care, avoiding medical errors, and comparative effectiveness research. We encourage publication of evidence-based guidelines, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, and decision aids. Original research and reviews may be sub-classified according to topic: cervix and HPV, vulva and vagina, perianal and anal, basic science, and education and learning.
The scope and readership of the journal extend to several disciplines: gynecology, internal medicine, family practice, dermatology, physical therapy, pathology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, sex therapy, and pharmacology. The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease highlights needs for future research, and enhances health care.
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the official journal of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease, and the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy, and sponsored by the Australian Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology and the Society of Canadian Colposcopists.
