“…Consequently, a low HPV viral load may be a factor for the false-negative Cobas HPV testing results. In a recently published study, Karaaslan et al 18 reported surgical follow-up data for 586 patients with abnormal Pap cytology results but negative HPV testing results. They found that 53 (9.0%) had HSIL/adenocarcinoma in situ.…”

BackgroundTo evaluate the efficacy of Cobas human papillomavirus (HPV) testing to predict cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of grade 2 or higher (CIN2+), Cobas HPV testing results were correlated with follow‐up biopsy in patients from Cancer Prevention Center (CPC) and Gynecologic Oncology Clinic (GOC) of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.MethodsInstitutional data for patients who underwent Cobas HPV and Papanicolaou (Pap) cytology cotesting from 2019 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Surgical follow‐up results were compared with Cobas HPV testing results in two populations.ResultsA total of 2226 patients, including 921 women (mean age, 55.2 years) seen at the CPC and 1305 women (mean age, 49.3 years) seen at the GOC, were included. Specimens from GOC patients had a significantly higher HPV positivity rate than did those from CPC patients (22.9% vs. 10.1%; p < .001). Cobas HPV testing was positive in all seven CPC patients with surgical follow‐up results showing CIN2+. Among 36 GOC patients with CIN2+ lesions, five patients had HPV−/Pap+ testing results. Although only seven CPC patients had CIN2+, Cobas HPV testing showed 100% sensitivity for predicting CIN2+ in this group. Sensitivity for CIN2+ was 86.5% in the GOC group, whereas 13.9% of GOC patients with CIN2+ had negative HPV testing results.ConclusionsCobas HPV testing was highly efficacious for predicting CIN2+ lesions in the low‐risk CPC population, which supports HPV primary screening for cervical cancer in low‐risk populations. For high‐risk patients, especially those with a history of CIN2+/cervical cancer, HPV/Pap cotesting may still be necessary to maintain a high clinical sensitivity for CIN2+.
