High-Resolution Anoscopy in the Diagnosis of Anal Cancer Precursor Lesions in Renal Graft Recipients

Abstract: With a prevalence of 23.81% of subclinical ASIL-ACU lesions, the studied renal graft recipients had all these lesions detected by high-resolution anoscopy, notwithstanding most anal transition zone acetowhitened biopsied areas did not reveal histopathological aspects of anal cancer precursor lesions or condyloma acuminatum. Therefore, greater experience with the diagnostic tool was felt necessary to enhance its positive predictive value, specificity and diagnostic precision.

“…Although screening for anal cancer results in early detection, screening of at-risk populations has not been widely adopted. The current gold standard for anal cancer screening is high resolution anoscopy (HRA), a technique adapted from standard cervical examination protocols [4][5][6][7]. In brief, the procedure is conducted as follows: 3-5% acetic acid is applied, using a soaked gauze, into the anal canal for at least one minute.…”

“…While there is a long learning curve for this procedure, the sensitivity is 90.9 to 100% and specificity is 65.63 to 74.7%, positive predictive value of detecting HSIL is 47.62 to 79.8%, and negative predictive value 82.3 to 100%. 22 23 24 This technique may be performed in a clinic setting or in the operating room.…”
