Clinical Uses of HPV Testing Spectrum of HPV associated disease Clinical uses of HPV DNA testing Topics to be covered:
Anogenital HPV Infections Latent infection - no identifiable lesion Exophytic condylomas Low-grade and high-grade neoplasia Invasive cancers Cervix, vulva, anus, penis, head & neck, esophagus, conjunctiva Spectrum of clinical expression
Clinical Spectrum of Genital Infections Latent Infection Genital Warts
Clinical Spectrum of Genital Infections CIN 2,3 Invasive Cancer
Anogenital HPV Types High-risk types16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, 82 Possible high-risk23, 53, 66, Low-risk types6, 11, 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, 70, 72, 81 Munoz et al. (2003) NEJM

2001 Consensus Guidelines All three standard modalities are considered safe and effective (A I) Because of costs, and patient convenience, "reflex" HPV testing is preferred if liquid- based cytology or co-collection available (A I) Management of ASC-US:
Management of ASC-US About 2.5 million ASC-US per year in U.S. 70% - 80% of these are liquid-based cytology specimens 70% - 80% of these get "reflex" HPV DNA testing and growing Status as of January 2004:

Primary Screening - Sensitivity: CIN 3+ StudyNo. Pap HPV Combo Portland10, U.K.9, Mexico6, Costa Rica6, South Africa2, China1, Baltimore1, Germany7,

HPV Testing for Screening Negativity for high-risk HPV identifies which women are at very low risk for having or developing CIN 2,3 over next 3 yrs Allows targeted screening Key advantage of using:
Predictive Value of HPV 20,817 women with adequate cytology at enrollment ( ) Tested frozen CVL samples with HC II Follow-up was with cytology and "standard workup" of abnormals NCI - Kaiser Portland, OR cohort: Sherman (2003) JNCI

HPV Testing for Screening NCI, ASCCP, and ACS sponsored an experts' workshop to develop guidance for using HPV for screening. Meeting held February 2003 Interim Guidance: Wright et al. Obst. Gynecol. (2004)
NCI - ASCCP Interim Guidance HPV DNA as an Adjunct to Cytology HPV (-) ASC-US Both Negative Colposcopy Pap > LSIL Repeat Pap & HPV in 3 yrs in 12 mos HPV (+) ASC-US Results of HPV and Cytology
HPV Testing for Screening Will definitely produce some level of anxiety in almost all patients Concern was that clinicians would immediately perform colposcopy to rule out high-grade neoplasia Very expensive - overload the system Key issue is HPV (+) / Cytology (-)
Patient's comments when told about availability of HPV DNA testing for screening "Why the hell am I having a Pap smear every year if its not really finding out what we really need to find out? I would be really upset." Anhang et al. (2004) Cancer
Screening is all about risk. So what's the risk?
HPV (+) and Cytology (-) Clavel - France: 4.2% Cuzick - England: 2.8% Wright - South Africa:7.8% Risk for CIN 2+ at 6 mos:
HPV (+) and Cytology (-) Clavel - France: 10 of 10 CIN 2+ Cuzick - England: 9 of 9 CIN 2+ Wright - South Africa:13 of 14 CIN 2+ Repeat HPV 6 mos:
HPV (+) and Cytology (-) Clavel - France: 40% Cuzick - England: 55% Wright - South Africa:60% Rates of HPV persistence - 6 mos:
Negative Cytology - HPV DNA Positive Repeat both Pap & HPV In 6 to 12 mos HPV (-) ASC-US High-risk HPV (+) Colposcopy Both Negative Pap > LSIL Repeat Pap & HPV in 12 mo. in 3 yrs
