Alan G. Waxman, MD, MPH, of the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, discussed the recent addition of HPV testing to cervical cancer screening recommendations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-3\u0022\u003EThe current American Cancer Society-American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology-American Society of Clinical Pathology guidelines [Saslow D et al. \u003Cem\u003ECA Cancer J Clin\u003C\/em\u003E 2012] and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) guidelines [ACOG. \u003Cem\u003EObstet Gynecol\u003C\/em\u003E 2012] for the screening of cervical cancer recommend that women aged 21 to 29 years be screened by cytology every 3 years, whereas the US Preventative Services Task Force recommends that women aged 21 to 65 be screened by cytology every 3 years [Moyer VA et al. \u003Cem\u003EAnn Intern Med\u003C\/em\u003E 2012]. In addition, these institutions now recommend that women aged 30 to 65 years also receive testing for HPV in addition to the Pap test (co-testing). If both cytology and high-risk HPV testing are performed and both are negative, they should be repeated in 5 years. Prof. Waxman pointed out that only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and clinically validated HPV tests should be used for cervical cancer screening.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-4\u0022\u003EThe benefits of co-testing with cytology and HPV are that it has greater sensitivity and negative predictive value than cytology alone, and thus, it can lead to earlier diagnosis of cervical cancer. The Population Based Screening Study Amsterdam study randomly assigned almost 45,000 women to 2 rounds of cervical cancer screening with co-testing or cytology alone during a 4- to 6-year period [Rijkaart DC et al. \u003Cem\u003ELancet Oncol\u003C\/em\u003E 2012]. In the first round of testing, co-testing detected twice as many cancers as cytology alone, although this difference was not statistically significant. By the second round, however, there were significantly fewer cancers in the group tested with co-testing (p=0.031). Similarly, premalignant changes, defined as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2, were detected more frequently by co-testing (p=0.015) in the first round of testing, and the incidence of CIN 3+ decreased in the second round (p=0.023). A systematic review that pooled this study with other randomized, controlled trials conducted in Europe showed that HPV-based screening resulted in a decrease in invasive cervical cancer at 3.5 and 5.5 years [Ronco G et al. \u003Cem\u003ELancet\u003C\/em\u003E 2014]. Furthermore, a study of almost 332,000 women demonstrated that adenocarcinoma \u003Cem\u003Ein situ\u003C\/em\u003E (AIS) and adenocarcinoma of the cervix were diagnosed more frequently in women who were screened with HPV testing or co-testing compared with cytology alone (p\u0026lt;0.0001; \u003Ca id=\u0022xref-table-wrap-1-1\u0022 class=\u0022xref-table\u0022 href=\u0022#T1\u0022\u003ETable 1\u003C\/a\u003E) [Katki HA et al. \u003Cem\u003ELancet Oncol\u003C\/em\u003E 2011].\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv id=\u0022T1\u0022 class=\u0022table pos-float\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022table-inline\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022callout\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EView this table:\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cul class=\u0022callout-links\u0022\u003E\u003Cli class=\u00220 first\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/\u0022 class=\u0022table-expand-inline\u0022 data-table-url=\u0022\/highwire\/markup\/15957\/expansion?postprocessors=highwire_figures%2Chighwire_math%2Chighwire_inline_linked_media%2Chighwire_embed\u0026amp;table-expand-inline=1\u0022 html=\u00221\u0022 fragment=\u0022#\u0022 external=\u00221\u0022 data-icon-position=\u0022\u0022 data-hide-link-title=\u00220\u0022\u003EView inline\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli class=\u00221\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/highwire\/markup\/15957\/expansion?width=1000\u0026amp;height=500\u0026amp;iframe=true\u0026amp;postprocessors=highwire_figures%2Chighwire_math%2Chighwire_inline_linked_media\u0022 class=\u0022colorbox colorbox-load table-expand-popup\u0022 rel=\u0022gallery-fragment-tables\u0022 data-icon-position=\u0022\u0022 data-hide-link-title=\u00220\u0022\u003EView popup\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli class=\u00222 last\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/highwire\/powerpoint\/15957\u0022 class=\u0022highwire-figure-link highwire-figure-link-ppt\u0022 data-icon-position=\u0022\u0022 data-hide-link-title=\u00220\u0022\u003EDownload powerpoint\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022table-caption\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022table-label\u0022\u003ETable 1.\u003C\/span\u003E \n            \u003Cp id=\u0022p-5\u0022 class=\u0022first-child\u0022\u003ECancer Diagnosis by Cervical Cancer Screening Method\u003C\/p\u003E\n         \u003Cdiv class=\u0022sb-div caption-clear\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-7\u0022\u003ERecently, an FDA panel recommended an expanded indication for the Cobas HPV test that permits cytology to be replaced by a specific HPV test in women aged 25 and younger using a limited, defined protocol. Patients with a negative Cobas HPV test can continue to be followed as recommended by their provider, whereas patients who test positive for the HPV 16 or HPV 18 strain should undergo colposcopy. Patients who test positive for other high-risk HPV strains should be tested by cytology to determine if a colposcopy is needed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-8\u0022\u003EIn 3.4% to 8.2% of patients who are co-tested, the HPV test is positive, and cytology is negative [Saslow et al. \u003Cem\u003ECa Cancer J Clin\u003C\/em\u003E 2012]. In these cases, immediate colposcopy is not warranted because the 5-year risk of CIN 3+ in these women is 4.5%, which is lower than the threshold level for colposcopy [Katki HA et al. \u003Cem\u003EJ Lower Genital Tract Dis\u003C\/em\u003E 2013]. Instead, for women older than 30 years, repeat co-testing at 1 year is recommended, although HPV DNA typing is an acceptable alternative. If repeat co-testing is performed and both tests are negative, then repeat co-testing should be performed again at 3 years. If, however, on repeat testing, the patient remains HPV-positive, or if cytology is atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or worse, then colposcopy should be performed. Patients who undergo HPV DNA typing that is negative for strains 16 or 18 should undergo repeat co-testing at 1 year.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-9\u0022\u003EScreening with an HPV test, if negative, allows for longer intervals between testing. In a cohort of more than 24,000 women, the rate of CIN 3+ detected at 3 years was 0.51% with negative cytology and 0.12% with negative HPV tests, and at 6 years, it was 0.97% and 0.27% with negative cytology or HPV testing, respectively [Dillner J et al. \u003Cem\u003EBMJ\u003C\/em\u003E 2008]. Similarly, in a cohort of 1.4 million women, the 5-year risk of developing CIN 3+ after negative cytology or co-testing was 0.26% and 0.08%, respectively [Katki HA et al. \u003Cem\u003EJ Lower Genital Tract Dis\u003C\/em\u003E 2013].\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-10\u0022\u003EA recent meta-analysis suggests that a negative Pap test with or without a transformation zone (TZ) component has good specificity and negative predictive value [Elumir-Tanner L et al. \u003Cem\u003ECMAJ\u003C\/em\u003E 2011]. If a woman aged 21 to 29 years has a negative Pap test without endocervical cells (EC) or the TZ, routine screening should be continued. If a patient older than 30 years has a negative Pap without EC-TZ and the HPV status is unknown, however, then testing for HPV infection is preferred; however, repeat cytology in 3 years is acceptable. If the patient is HPV-positive, then HPV DNA typing, or co-testing in 1 year, should be performed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-11\u0022\u003ECervical cancer is rare in adolescents and young women, but HPV infection is common. In addition, low-grade cytological abnormalities are common and typically regress spontaneously. In addition, the 5-year risk of CIN 3+ is lower than the recommended threshold for colposcopy (\u003Ca id=\u0022xref-table-wrap-2-1\u0022 class=\u0022xref-table\u0022 href=\u0022#T2\u0022\u003ETable 2\u003C\/a\u003E) [Katki HA et al. \u003Cem\u003ELower Genital Tract Dis\u003C\/em\u003E 2013]. Therefore, colposcopy is not recommended in women aged 21 to 24 years following a cytology result of ASC-US or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL). Women in this age group who have ASC-US or LSIL, and who are HPV-positive or whose HPV status is unknown, should undergo repeat cytology at 12 months. Those who are HPV-negative can return to routine screening (i.e., cytology in 3 years). If the repeat cytology finds ASC with possible high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL; ASC-H), atypical glandular cells, or HSIL, referral to colposcopy is indicated; if negative, LSIL, or ASC-US, cytology should be repeated another 12 months later. If these results are ASC-US or worse, colposcopy should be performed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv id=\u0022T2\u0022 class=\u0022table pos-float\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022table-inline\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022callout\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EView this table:\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cul class=\u0022callout-links\u0022\u003E\u003Cli class=\u00220 first\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/\u0022 class=\u0022table-expand-inline\u0022 data-table-url=\u0022\/highwire\/markup\/15958\/expansion?postprocessors=highwire_figures%2Chighwire_math%2Chighwire_inline_linked_media%2Chighwire_embed\u0026amp;table-expand-inline=1\u0022 html=\u00221\u0022 fragment=\u0022#\u0022 external=\u00221\u0022 data-icon-position=\u0022\u0022 data-hide-link-title=\u00220\u0022\u003EView inline\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli class=\u00221\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/highwire\/markup\/15958\/expansion?width=1000\u0026amp;height=500\u0026amp;iframe=true\u0026amp;postprocessors=highwire_figures%2Chighwire_math%2Chighwire_inline_linked_media\u0022 class=\u0022colorbox colorbox-load table-expand-popup\u0022 rel=\u0022gallery-fragment-tables\u0022 data-icon-position=\u0022\u0022 data-hide-link-title=\u00220\u0022\u003EView popup\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli class=\u00222 last\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/highwire\/powerpoint\/15958\u0022 class=\u0022highwire-figure-link highwire-figure-link-ppt\u0022 data-icon-position=\u0022\u0022 data-hide-link-title=\u00220\u0022\u003EDownload powerpoint\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022table-caption\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022table-label\u0022\u003ETable 2.\u003C\/span\u003E \n            \u003Cp id=\u0022p-12\u0022 class=\u0022first-child\u0022\u003ERisk of CIN 3+ in Young Women at 5 Years After Cervical Screening\u003C\/p\u003E\n         \u003Cdiv class=\u0022sb-div caption-clear\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022p-15\u0022\u003EThe addition of HPV testing to cytology testing for the screening of cervical cancer has resulted in the need for fewer screening cycles in women who co-test negative, while enabling the earlier diagnosis of cervical cancer.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul class=\u0022copyright-statement\u0022\u003E\u003Cli class=\u0022fn\u0022 id=\u0022copyright-statement-1\u0022\u003E\u00a9 2014 MD Conference Express\u00ae\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022highwire-journal-article-marker-end\u0022\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan id=\u0022related-urls\u0022\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/mdc.sagepub.com\/content\/14\/7\/23.abstract\u0022 class=\u0022hw-link hw-link-article-abstract\u0022 data-icon-position=\u0022\u0022 data-hide-link-title=\u00220\u0022\u003EView Summary\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cscript type=\u0022text\/javascript\u0022 src=\u0022http:\/\/mdc.sagepub.com\/sites\/all\/modules\/highwire\/highwire\/plugins\/highwire_markup_process\/js\/highwire_openurl.js?nzp9n1\u0022\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\n\u003Cscript type=\u0022text\/javascript\u0022 src=\u0022http:\/\/mdc.sagepub.com\/sites\/all\/modules\/highwire\/highwire\/plugins\/highwire_markup_process\/js\/highwire_tables.js?nzp9n1\u0022\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\n\u003C\/body\u003E\u003C\/html\u003E"}
