Abstract Background Persistent infection by high-risk Human Papillomavirus (hrHPV) are the major cause of cervical cancer. Studies report disparities in the incidence of infection and the various genotypes of this virus in different age groups, suggesting a higher frequency of hrHPV in young women and low-risk subtypes being predominant in older women. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and distribution of hrHPV genotypes in postmenopausal women as well as the correlation with the cytological findings. Methods 16 859 women, aged 50–64 years, performed cervical cancer screening test in Friuri Venezia Giulia region, Italy. The infection was evaluated by the Polymerase Chain Reaction methodology and the positive samples were evaluated by Liquid Based Cytology according to the Bethesda System from 2014. A statistical analysis was performed to study the molecular and cytological data of this population. Results hrHPV infection were found in 5.8% of the women and 78.3% of these were caused by hrHPV other than HPV16 and HPV18 (). Also, 65.7% of the positive samples were negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy while low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was the most frequent (22.4%). There was an increase in the number of high-grade intraepithelial lesions in the presence of HPV16 compared to that recorded when this genotype was absent (20.8% vs. 8.5%). No cervical cancers were detected. Conclusions Infection with hrHPV is uncommon in postmenopausal women and it is mostly caused by subtypes less associated with the development of cervical cancer. Yet, HPV16 infection triggers the development of high-grade lesions.

Genomic integration of high-risk human papilloma virus in the nucleus of cervical epithelial mucosal cells leads to epithelial dysplasia. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance of correlation between epithelial survivin expression and the degree of human papilloma virus (HPV)-induced cervical epithelial dysplasia, and to establish the significance of morphometric analysis of the nuclear area in the assessment of the degree of cervical dysplasia. This retrospective study included 99 women with primary, previously untreated lesions, and colposcopic findings indicating dysplasia, in whom a cytological test by Papanicolaou method was interpreted according to the Bethesda criteria as lowgrade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS). We performed human papilloma virus (HPV) typing by PCR for evidence of viruse types 16, 18, 31, 33. After biopsy of the cervical mucosa, we performed hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) and Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining, and immunohistochemical and morphometric analysis of tissue samples. The control group consisted of 12 women without dysplasia and without a verified infection of cervical high-risk HPV. A high statistical correlation between the degree of dysplasia and expression of survivin was found in patients with different types of cervical dysplasia (p = 0.003). We observed a high statistical difference between the area of nuclei at different degrees of cervical dysplasias (p = 0.000). The high-grade cervical dysplasia had a more than 2-fold higher level of ranking in comparison to low-grade dysplasia, and a more than 10-fold higher ranking than the control group without cervical dysplasia.

Objective To compare the prevalence of abnormal anal cytology and high-risk HPV among women with a recent history of HPV-related genital neoplasia to women without a history of HPV-related genital neoplasia. Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was performed. Women with a history of high-grade cervical, vulvar, or vaginal dysplasia or cancer within the past 2 years were eligible for the exposed group. Women without a history of high-grade anogenital dysplasia or cancer were eligible for the control group. Anal cytology and HPV genotyping were performed after informed consent was obtained. Results: 127 women were enrolled in the exposed group and 45 in the control group. The control group was slightly older and less likely to be current smokers. There was no difference between groups in history of anal intercourse. Forty-four per cent of the exposed group had abnormal anal cytology compared with 21.6% of the control group (P = 0.03). High-risk HPV was detected in the anal canal of 6 in the exposed group compared with none in the control group (P = 0.2). Fourteen per cent of the anal cytology results were read as insufficient in both groups. HPV results were insufficient in 29.2% of exposed versus 43.5% of control (P = 0.2). Conclusions: Women with a history of lower genital tract dysplasia are more likely to have a positive anal cytology result compared with women without a history. Additional information is needed to determine the best method of anal cancer screening among women with a history of lower genital tract dysplasia.

ABSTRACT Objectives Although the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the development of some carcinomas (eg, anogenital and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas) is nondebatable, there is still significant controversy regarding the relationship of HPV and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Methods All cases were sampled at or near the gastroesophageal junctions in patients with reflux and/or known Barrett esophagus and appear to have been initially sampled “incidentally.” Patients were all men, aged 56 to 80 years. None had a known history of other HPV-related disease. Results We present four cases of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion of the gastroesophageal junction secondary to high-risk HPV that have identical histologic features to similar lesions of the anogenital tract. Conclusions Whether such lesions are at risk for developing into invasive SCC remains unclear.
