Factors associated with HPV persistence after conization in patients with negative margins

Abstract: Objective: The clearance rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) after conization is generally high, although some HPV infections persist. We investigated the factors that affect the clearance of HPV after conization in patients with negative margins. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 77 patients (mean age 39.9 years, range 25 to 51 years) with CIN 2/3 who underwent loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) conization with negative margins. All patients had a Pap smear and high-risk (HR) HPV testing using H… Show more

“…7 HPV persistence during follow-up after conization is significantly related to recurrence, 22 as is high preoperative viral load in the negative margin in the excised cervix. 23 A significant relationship was also found between high HPV load and recurrent disease in our study. HPV type 16 infection has been found to increase the risk of recurrence after treatment for CIN.…”

“…The specific procedures of the HC2 test have been described in numerous studies (Nam et al, 2009). The results of the HC2 test were reported as positive or negative for high-risk HPV infections (HPV types 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,and 68).…”

“…According to the literature incomplete removal of the CIN lesion, development of a new CIN lesion due to the HPV persistence and the revival of occult HPV infections could be a possible explanation (6,20). Moreover, in addition to HPV persistence during follow-up after conization (22) a significant relationship was also found between high HPV load before treatment and recurrent disease (17,24). (25).…”
