Abstract
OBJECTIVES The addition of p16/Ki-67 dual immunostaining to human papilloma virus (HPV) screening tests has been shown to increase the detection rate of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of p16/Ki67 dual staining in the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 (CIN2+) in women with high-risk HPV infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2017 and August 2019 at the Chulabhorn Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Women aged 20-70 years who underwent co-testing and tested positive for high-risk (HR) HPV (N = 215) were invited to participate in the study. P16/Ki67 testing was performed on residual cytological materials. Colposcopic biopsies were performed on all patients, and the results were correlated with positive or negative p16/Ki-67 test results. RESULTS The sensitivity and specificity of p16/Ki-67 dual staining in the detection of CIN2+ in the women with HR HPV infection were 74.4 % and 63.4 %, respectively. Compared with liquid-based cytology (LBC), p16/Ki67 cytology had similar sensitivity (p = 1.000) and specificity (p = 0.561) to LBC for detecting CIN2+. CONCLUSION In this study, p16/Ki67 dual staining in HPV triage demonstrated a test performance similar to that of LBC.

Cancer Cytopathol 2022; 130:955-963. [PMID: 35852302 DOI: 10.1002/cncy.22628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive women recover from infections and do not develop cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer. Additional triage approaches are needed to reduce unnecessary colposcopy referrals. The aim of this study is to determine the high-risk HPV prevalence in a hospital-based population and to evaluate the performance of p16/Ki-67 dual-stain test for the triage of high-risk HPV-positive women to detect precursor lesions and cervical cancer compared with the ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT). METHODS In a hospital-based population, 100,801 women were provided with a primary HPV DNA test and only women with high-risk HPV infections were triaged using TCT and p16/Ki-67 dual-stain test. CIN2 or worse (≥CIN2) or CIN3 or worse (≥CIN3) were defined as the clinical end points. RESULTS The p16/Ki-67 dual-stain indicated a statistically significant higher sensitivity (82.8% vs. 66.7%%), specificity (51.6% vs. 44.4%), positive predictive value (33.2% vs. 25.8%), negative predictive value (91.2% vs. 82.1%), and accuracy (58.6% vs. 49.4%) compared with TCT examination within ≥CIN2 cases. Similar patterns were observed for the ≥CIN3 end point. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that p16/Ki-67 dual-stain test could achieve better performance compared with TCT examination for ≥CIN2 or ≥ CIN3 detection, representing a promising approach as a specific and efficient triage strategy for high-risk HPV-positive women.

Abstract
Background: Each year 604,127 new cases of cervical cancer (CC) are diagnosed, and 341,831 individuals die from the disease. It is the fourth most common cancer among women and the fourth most common cause of death from female cancers worldwide. The pathogenesis of CC is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and consists of several steps involving cell proliferation outside the human body’s control mechanisms. Strategies to prevent CC are based on screening and vaccination. Scope of the Review: The aim of this paper was to collect and analyze the available literature on the issue of CC prevention and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its implementation. For this purpose, PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched using keywords, such as “cervical cancer”; “HPV”; “prevention”; “prophylaxis”; “vaccination”; “screening” and “COVID-19” in different variations. Only articles published since 2018 were included in the study. Conclusions: Selected European countries have different CC prevention programs funded by national budgets. This translates into observed differences in the risk of death from CC (age-standardized rate Malta = 1.1, Poland = 5.9). COVID-19 pandemic due to disruption of CC screening may exacerbate these differences in the future. To improve the situation, new screening methods, such as p16/Ki67, HPV self-testing, and the use of artificial intelligence in colposcopic assessment, should be disseminated, as well as free HPV vaccination programs implemented in all countries. The search for new solutions is not without significance and entails ultra-sensitive screening tests for risk groups (mRNA E6/E7, SOX1/SOX14), HPV vaccines with shorter dosing schedules, and new therapeutic pathways using nanotheranostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of efficient strategies for managing high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV)-positive women is a major challenge when human papillomavirus-based primary screening is being performed. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of HR-HPV testing based on self-collection (SC) and HR-HPV testing based on collection by a health professional (HP) and to assess the potential usefulness of HR-HPV testing combined with testing with the biomarkers p16/Ki-67, α-mannosidase, and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 232 women admitted for colposcopy because of an abnormal Papanicolaou smear. The collected material underwent liquid-based cytology, HR-HPV detection, and immunocytochemical testing (p16/Ki-67, α-mannosidase, and SOD2). The gold standard was the histopathological result; the positive reference was CIN2+. RESULTS The overall accuracy of HR-HPV testing was 76.6%; the results for the SC group (78.1%) and the HP group (75.2%) were similar. The positive predictive values (HP, 76.5%; SC, 80.0%), the negative predictive values (HP, 66.7%; SC, 64.3%), the positive likelihood values (HP, 1.35; SC, 1.36), and the negative likelihood values (HP, 0.21; SC, 0.19) were also similar. p16/Ki-67 showed higher sensitivity than the other 2 biomarkers: 78.1% versus 45.8% for α-mannosidase and 44.5% for SOD2. The specificities of the biomarkers were equivalent: 71.4% for p16/Ki-67, 77.8% for α-mannosidase, and 71.2% for SOD2. In the HP group, accuracy also leaned more heavily toward the final score (using α-mannosidase and SOD2) without statistical significance (80.8% vs 77.9%). The contrast with the SC group yielded the same level of accuracy. CONCLUSIONS SC, when associated with testing with biomarkers, is as accurate as collection by HPs in the detection of women at risk for cervical cancer.

Abstract
Cervical cancer remains a concern worldwide, and cervical cancer screening plays an important role in reducing the burden of this disease. Although cytology is still the main strategy for cervical cancer screening, it has gradually changed to human papillomavirus testing. The specificity of human papillomavirus testing is lower than that of cytology, which leads to an increased rate of colposcopy after positive results. To decrease colposcopic examinations, an efficient triage method is needed for human papillomavirus screening. New biomarkers have been developed and evaluated for primary screening and triage of abnormal cytology or human papillomavirus-positive results. Their sensitivity and specificity were estimated and compared with those of cytology. In the present study, the following new techniques were examined: p16/Ki67 dual staining, DNA methylation, micro-ribonucleic acid, chromosomal abnormalities, Claudins and DNA ploidy. Evaluation studies of p16/Ki67 dual staining and DNA methylation were more advanced than those of other options. When p16/Ki67 dual staining was used for triage for human papillomavirus testing, the sensitivity of 2 or greater cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) detection was higher than that of cytology without decreased specificity. Although there are several types of DNA methylation, sensitivity and specificity were moderate for detecting CIN2+. S5 classifier is a commercialized product that consists of viral methylation, and high sensitivity with decreased specificity has been reported. Considering its combination with self-sampling, DNA methylation is a highly anticipated technique along with human papillomavirus testing for the next generation of cervical cancer screening. However, the backgrounds for cervical cancer screening differ among countries and further study is needed to identify the best available method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the implementation of primary high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) screening in the Netherlands, an increase was observed in the number of unnecessary referrals (≤Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) 1) to colposcopy. We aimed to investigate which alternative triage strategies safely reduce unnecessary referrals in HPV-based cervical cancer screening programmes. METHODS Microsimulation model MISCAN was used to simulate an unvaccinated cohort of ten million 30-year old Dutch women. We calculated unnecessary referrals, cervical cancer incidence, mortality, costs and QALYs for 24 triage strategies. Condition for direct referral (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), conditional on HPV-genotype 16/18/other high risk (OHR)), type of triage test (cytology alone or combined with hrHPV) and time to triage test (6 or 12 months) was varied. RESULTS The 24 triage strategies had varying effects on the number of unnecessary referrals ranging from -72% to +35%. Adjusting conditions for referral to 'HPV16/18+ and ASC-US+' and 'HPVOHR+ and HSIL+' and extending the interval between tests to 12 months resulted in a reduction in unnecessary referrals of 40% (incidence +0%, mortality -1%). Reduction in unnecessary referrals without genotyping was achieved by adjusting conditions for direct referral to LSIL (12 months to repeat test) (unnecessary referrals -37%, incidence +2%, mortality +0%). CONCLUSIONS To reduce the number of unnecessary referrals without increasing incidence and mortality by more than 2% in the Dutch cervical cancer screening programme, genotyping for HPV16 or HPV16/18 should be implemented with 12 months to repeat testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer screening is slowly transitioning from Pappanicolaou cytologic screening to primary Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) or HPV testing as an effort to enhance early detection and treatment. However, an effective triage tests needed to decide who among the VIA or HPV positive women should receive further diagnostic evaluation to avoid unnecessary colposcopy referrals is still lacking. Evidence from experimental studies have shown potential usefulness of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen (SCC Ag), Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), MicroRNA, p16INKa / ki-67, HPV E6/E7/mRNA, and DNA methylation biomarkers in detecting premalignant cervical neoplasia. Given the variation in performance, and scanty review studies in this field, this systematic review described the diagnostic performance of some selected assays to detect high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) with histology as gold standard. METHODS We systematically searched articles published in English between 2012 and 2020 using key words from PubMed/Medline and SCOPUS with two reviewers assessing study eligibility, and risk of bias. We performed a descriptive presentation of the performance of each of the selected assays for the detection of CIN2 + . RESULTS Out of 298 citations retrieved, 58 articles were included. Participants with cervical histology yielded CIN2+ proportion range of 13.7-88.4%. The diagnostic performance of the assays to detect CIN2+ was; 1) SCC-Ag: range sensitivity of 78.6-81.2%, specificity 74-100%. 2) M-CSF: sensitivity of 68-87.7%, specificity 64.7-94% 3) VEGF: sensitivity of 56-83.5%, specificity 74.6-96%. 4) MicroRNA: sensitivity of 52.9-67.3%, specificity 76.4-94.4%. 5) p16INKa / ki-67: sensitivity of 50-100%, specificity 39-90.4%. 6) HPV E6/E7/mRNA: sensitivity of 65-100%, specificity 42.7-90.2%, and 7) DNA methylation: sensitivity of 59.7-92.9%, specificity 67-98%. CONCLUSION Overall, the reported test performance and the receiving operating characteristics curves implies that implementation of p16ink4a/ki-67 assay as a triage for HPV positive women to be used at one visit with subsequent cryotherapy treatment is feasible. For the rest of assays, more robust clinical translation studies with larger consecutive cohorts of women participants is recommended.
