Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Self- collected specimens to detect high-risk (hr) HPV and high-grade cervical lesions (CIN2+) has been introduced aiming to increase cervical cancer screening coverage. The performance of self- collected specimen compared to clinician collected specimen is one major concern. This study aimed to compare self-sampling HPV-DNA and clinician-sampling HPV-mRNA to detect hr-HPV and high-grade cervical lesions.
METHODS
Women with abnormal cervical cytology and/ or positive hr-HPV who attended the colposcopy clinics in 10 tertiary hospitals in Bangkok were enrolled. Self-collected specimens were evaluated for HPV DNA using Cobas® 4800 HPV test prior to the clinician-collected specimens which were tested for HPV mRNA with APTIMA® HPV Assay. Subsequent colposcopy with biopsy was performed. The detection rates of hr-HPV from both HPV tests and their performance to detect high-grade lesions pathology were compared.
RESULTS
Data from 497 women's specimens were analyzed. Both samplings had 86.8% concordance rate in detecting hr-HPV (Kappa 0.670; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.599-0.746, P value < 0.001). The sensitivity (95% CI) of self-collected specimen HPV DNA and clinician- collected specimen HPV-mRNA to detect high-grade lesions were 91.8% (85.4%-96.0%) and 90.2% (83.6%-94.9%) respectively. The corresponding negative predictive values (95% CI) were 91.9% (85.6%-96.0%) and 91.7% (86.0%-95.7%) respectively.
CONCLUSION
HPV DNA testing from self-collected specimen to detect HR-HPV demonstrates high concordance with HPV mRNA testing from clinician-collected specimen. The sensitivity and negative predictive value of both tests to detect high-grade lesions are comparable.
