Updates on Pap Smear Guidelines 2014 David Murphy, D.O. Indiana University Health Southern Indiana Physicians
Objectives • Review current recommendations • Develop an algorithm for the appropriate use of screening cytology and HPV testing • Discuss and incorporate into practice the newest ASCCP/ACOG consensus guidelines for management of cytologic abnormalities or (+) HPV testing
Essential Changes From Prior Management Guidelines • Cytology reported as negative, but lacking endocervical cells can be managed without early repeat • Cytology reported as unsatisfactory requires repeat even if HPV negative • Genotyping triages HPV (+) women with 16 or 18 to earlier colposcopy • ASCUS- immediate colposcopy is not an option. Serial cytology at 12 months, and then if negative, cytology every 3 years
Essential Changes (continued) • HPV (-) and ASCUS results should be followed with co-testing q 3 years, rather than 5 years. • HPV (-) and ASCUS results do not allow exit from screening at age 65. • More strategies incorporate co-testing to reduce follow-up visits. • Women aged 21 – 24 are managed conservatively
Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer • HPV infection (16/18) • Early onset of sexual activity (<16) • High number of sexual partners (>4) • Hx of genital warts • Cigarette smoking • HIV seropositive • Immunosuppresive therapy
HPV and Cervical Cancer • Oncogenic (high risk) HPV types account for >99% of cervical cancer • 70% of invasive cervical cancer is due to HPV 16 (60%) and 18 (10%) • Nononcogenic (low risk) • 6/11 • Cause of genital warts • No role for low risk hpv screening in cancer prevention
HPV • Most young women have an effective immune response that clears the infection in an avg of 8 months. • CIN 1 is a manifestation of acute HPV and has a high rate of regression to normal cells • CIN 2 is a mix of low-grade and high-grade lesions • CIN 3 and AIS are cancer precursors • HSIL is associated with a persistent and transforming infection and cancer risk.
Colposcopy • With directed bx remains the standard for disease detection • Technique of choice for treatment decisions • Endocervical sampling
Screening Today • When to start? • When to stop? • How often? • HR HPV testing • Continue in patients after hysterectomy? • No change in women vaccinated against HPV
Principles in Interpreting Guidelines • Strategies developed based on risk where similar risk should have the same management. • Clinical judgment is necessary in application to individual patients. • Current strategies cannot eliminate the risk of developing cancer. • Attempts to eliminate often result in unanticipated harm from excessive evaluation and treatment.
Start screening at age 21 • 0.1% of cervical cancer cases • 1-2 cases/1 million females age 15-19 • US and UK studies demonstrated that earlier screening did NOT decrease cervical cancer rates in this population. • Barnholtz-Sloan, 2009; Sasieni, 2009 • If <21 and screened and abnormality detected, follow guidelines of 21 - 24
Screening 21 - 29 • Every 3 years • Co-testing with HPV should NOT be performed (HPV frequent in this population and >90% will spontaneously clear within 2 yrs)
Screening 30 - 65 • Every 5 yrs • Co-testing of HPV 16/18
Risk Factors for Continued Annual Screening • Hx of CIN2/3/cervical cancer within the past 20 yrs • HIV infection or immunosuppression (transplant recipients) • DES exposure in utero (last used in US >40 yrs ago)
When to stop? • Age 65 and not at high risk for cervical cancer (USPSTF, ACOG, ASCCP) • Discontinuation of screening assumes adequate prior negative screening • Three consecutive negative cytology results or 2 negative cytology results with (-) co-testing within the prior 10 yrs with one within 5 yrs • No prior hx of cervical cancer, CIN2/3. • If any present, continue screening for 20 yrs
When to stop? After hysterectomy (with cervix removal) if no CIN 2/3 or cervical cancer If CIN 2+, and cervix removed, continue screening of vaginal cuff for 20 yrs, even if > 65 If hysterectomy and cervix not removed, continue screening as recommended for age
High Risk HPV Testing • Use as a co-test in women 30 and older • Do not use at all in women < 30 • Not a screening test for STDs • Do not use as a test to determine whether to give HPV vaccine
Unsatisfactory Cytology • Repeat cytology in 2 – 4 months is recommended, with a negative or unknown HPV result • Triage using reflex HPV testing not recommended • Treatment to resolve atrophy or obscuring inflammation is acceptable • If 30+ with (+) HPV co-test, repeat cytology in 2-4 months or colposcopy is acceptable. • Colposcopy if 2 consecutive unsatisfactory cytology results.
Negative Cytology but EC/TZ Absent/Insufficient • 21 – 29: routine screening is recommended; HPV testing is unacceptable • 30+: HPV testing preferred. Repeat cytology in 3 years if not performed. If HPV (-) return to routine. • If HPV 16 or 18 (+), colposcopy, if (-) then repeat cytology in 1 yr • Not associated with an increased incidence of cervical disease after treatment of high grade disease
>30 Cytology Negative, (+) HPV • Repeat cytology in 1 year is acceptable • If repeat is (+) HPV, or ASCUS or worse, then colposcopy. • If repeat cytology (-) and HPV (-), then repeat 3 yrs • Risk of CIN 2+ is small with single HPV (+) and negative cytology. • Reflex testing of 16/18 if HPV (+) is acceptable
Women >25 with ASCUS • Reflex HPV testing is preferred. If neg, then recheck 3 years with co-testing • (+) HPV- colposcopy with ECC. If no CIN identified, then recheck pap w co-testing in 12 months • If ASCUS and no HPV results, repeat cytology at 1 year is acceptable • If >65, considered abnormal and should be rechecked in 12 months
ASCUS with (-)HPV and 3 year f/u • Risk of CIN 3 if ASCUS and HPV (-): 0.28% (Stoler 2011) • 5 year f/u (no treatment): CIN 3 – 0.54% (Katki 2011) • Normal cytology control (no HPV testing): risk of CIN 3 at 5 year f/u is 0.36%
ASCUS – new recommendations • ASCUS and HPV (-) co-testing in 3 years • ASCUS and HPV (+) colposcopy • ASCH manage like HSIL colposcopy
Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (LSIL) • Major determinant in treatment is age • 21 – 24 • HPV status in 25+ • Routine co-testing in 30+ • Here is where reflex co-testing is acceptable • Reflex testing is NOT recommended in 21 - 24
HSIL in 25+ • Immediate LEEP or colposcopy is acceptable, except in special populations. • Diagnostic excisional procedure is recommended when colposcopy is inadequate EXCEPT pregnancy • ~60% have CIN 2+ on colposcopically directed bx and 2% have cervical cancer • 5 yr cancer risk is 8%among women aged 30+
ASC-H or HSIL 21 - 24 • Colposcopy • When CIN 2+ not identified, observation for up to 24 months using BOTH colposcopy and cytology testing at 6 month intervals is recommended. • If HSIL persists without identification of CIN 2+, a diagnostic excision procedure is recommended.
Atypical Glandular Cells • Colposcopy with ECC, regardless of HPV • Endometrial biopsy in 35+, or other risk of endometrial hyperplasia • May be associated with benign disease (e.g., polyps, reactive changes), BUT can be due to adenocarcinoma of the cervix, endometrium, fallopian tube, or ovary • 9 – 38% have significant neoplasia (CIN 2, AIS, or cancer) • 3 – 17% have invasive cancer
Subsequent Management of AGC • AGC-NOS: if CIN 2+ not identified, co-testing at 12 and 24 months recommended. • If both co-test results are neg, repeat co-testing in 3 yrs • AGC “favor neoplasia” or endocervical AIS: if invasive disease not identified at initial colposcopy diagnostic excisional procedure recommended
Endometrial Cells with Cervical cytology • No further evaluation in asymptomatic premenopausal women • If postmenopausal, endometrial assessment is recommended regardless of symptoms. • No further evaluation with benign glandular cells following hysterectomy
25+ and colposcopy demonstrates CIN 1 or less • Co-testing at 1 yr. If both neg, then age-appropriate retesting in 3 years recommended. • If CIN persists for at least 2 years, either continued f/u or treatment is acceptable. • A diagnostic excision procedure is recommended if colposcopic exam is inadequate
25+ after colposcopic evaluation of ASC-H or HSIL • If CIN 2 not present on histology, then either diagnostic excisional procedure or observation with co-testing at 12 and 24 months are acceptable. • If any result is abnormal repeat colposcopy • If repeat HSIL at either 1 or 2 yr visit diagnostic excisional procedure.
