Type specific persistence of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) as indicator of high grade cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions in young women: population based prospective follow up study

Abstract: Objectives To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the development of cervical neoplasia in women with no previous cervical cytological abnormalities; whether the presence of virus DNA predicts development of squamous intraepithelial lesion; and whether the risk of incident squamous intraepithelial lesions differs with repeated detection of the same HPV type versus repeated detection of different types. Design Population based prospective cohort study. Setting General population in Copenhagen,… Show more

“…Indeed, in the work of Kjaer et al (2002) on women o29 years, PCR testing for the detection of HPV was performed on specimens collected into phosphate-buffered saline, and the authors focused their study on women with normal smears and HPV infection. In a related study, the work of Sherman et al (2003) was conducted with HC-II assay on cervicovaginal lavage specimens, a technique that is not as good for sampling the endocervical canal as direct brushing.…”

“…In contrast, in the cohort of 2432 women testing negative for HR-HPV infection followed on a period of 60 months, only two women developed an HSIL (Bory et al, 2002). Thus the NPV of a negative test with HC-II could be useful in primary screening when associated with a smear within normal limits.At the present time, there are few longitudinal studies with a detailed and prolonged follow-up of women with a normal smear with a negative HR-HPV testing (Kjaer et al, 2002;Sherman et al, 2003). Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate on a large population of women with an initial smear within normal limits the usefulness and limitations of a negative HR-HPV testing in such women.…”

“…Carcinogenic HPV infections are extremely common and most are transient, lasting only 1-2 years at most. A number of large population cohorts of HPV and cervical neoplasia have been conducted (Bratti et al 2004;Franco et al 1999;Kjaer et al 2002), providing much information on causality and HPV natural history. These studies have provided strong empirical support for 4-stage model of cervical carcinogenesis that replaces the older model of stepwise progression through increasing severe grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: 1) HPV acquisition; 2) HPV persistence [vs. clearance]; 3) neoplastic progression to cervical precancer; and 4) invasion (Wright, Jr. and Schiffman 2003).…”
