Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in adolescents: study of cytological findings between 1987 and 1995 in São Paulo State-Brazil

Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to ascertain the frequency of Pap smears abnormalities (SIL/carcinoma) in two populations in the State of S. Paulo (Brazil) who were screened for cervical cancer during the last nine years: adolescents (up to the age of 21) and adults (over 21). Statistical analysis showed a tendency to linear increase in frequency of abnormal Pap smears in both groups (adolescent: slope = 0.118 +/- 0.56; adult: slope = 0.079 +/- 0.021), being greater in the adolescent group (slope 0.039 +/… Show more

“…23 Another study followed adolescents in Sao Paulo, Brazil over 9 years, and found a 76.5% to 100% prevalence of low-grade lesions in cases with abnormal Pap smears. 24 A study of AYAs (15 to 20 y of age) in the North of Brazil showed that 6.4% had abnormal PAP smears, of which 94.2% corresponded to epithelial lesions and 5.8% to adenocarcinoma. 25 In Canada, a study investigated the incidence of cervical neoplasia among 15-to 29-year-old women between 1970 and 2007, and reported a declining trend during this period, mainly with regards to squamous cell carcinomas.…”

“…Mount & Papillo 17 also reported a high prevalence of SIL (3.7%) in 10,296 colpocytologies in adolescents as compared to the 20-29-year group (SIL = 3.5%) and women over 30 years (SIL = 1.27%). Utagawa et al 18 , in a study from 1987 to 1995, found HSIL in 7.7% of their sample, noting that the prevalence of abnormal cytopathologies in adolescents almost quadrupled, while Roye 19 reported an increase from 2% in 1973 to 6% in 1978.…”

“…A infecção por Candida sp tem sido encontrada em aproximadamente 25% das pacientes com infecção por HPV 15 . Trabalhos demonstraram índices mais altos de infecções e lesões neoplásicas não-invasivas nos exames de Papanicolaou de adolescentes em comparação com mulheres adultas 16,17 . Conforme exposto acima, na adolescência parece haver fenômenos que facilitam a infecção pelo HPV e outros microrganismos.…”
