Issues in optimising and standardising the accuracy and utility of the colposcopic examination in the HPV era

Abstract: For this tribute to Mario Sideri, we reviewed some of the current issues in colposcopy, many of which we were researching with him. The review concentrates on the impact of HPV testing on cervical screening, specifically on the practice of colposcopy as the major diagnostic procedure in cervical screening programmes. Topics include the changing population of women referred to colposcopy, evolving views of the colposcopic impression, differing approaches to directed and random biopsy, issues in teaching colposc… Show more

“…The accuracy of colposcopy in precise lesion grading has been questioned (14). Because they are more likely to harbor concurrent multitype infections, HIV seropositive women undergoing colposcopy may need more biopsies to identify high grade lesions.…”

“…HPV enfeksiyonu, çok basamaklı servikal karsinogenezis için ilk basamağı oluşturur (15). HPV tipleri ile ilişkili çok sayıda çalışma olmasına karşın, HPV tiplerini hem PZR yöntemi hem doku immünohistokimyasal yöntem ile çalışan ve bunları sitolojik sonuçlar ve biyopsi sonuçları ile korele eden çalışma sayısı çok azdır.…”

“…Ancak bu HPV16'lı 10 olguda intarepitelyal lezyon izlenmemesi tek başına smear testi ya da HPV tiplemesinin kullanılması yerine, bu testlerin kombine kullanılması hatta biyopsi sonuçları ile birlikte değerlendirilmesi tüm dünyada yaygın olarak görülen bu kanser için daha gerçekçi sonuçlar verebilir. Şu anda Amerika'da uygulanan kılavuzda, sitolojik anomalisi olmasa bile iki defa HPV pozitifliği saptanan olgularda kolposkopi yöntemi önerilmektedir (23). Histopatolojik tanının başarısında elbette ki biyopsinin yeri önemlidir (23).…”

“…According to Mandelblatt et al, the Pap smear costs a mere $10 for the laboratory fee compared to an HPV test at an average laboratory fee of $30 for the hybrid capture II or $77 for PCR [18]. One must also understand that a positive HPV test requires a second visit for either a repeat Pap smear or further diagnosis with colposcopy.…”
