Abstract Context.—The 2001 Bethesda System for the reporting of cervical cytology specimens and the use of new liquid-based and human papillomavirus testing technologies have led to changes in cervical cytology reporting practices. Objectives.—To analyze current laboratory reporting practices using Bethesda 2001 terminology and to compare results with previous survey data from 1996. Design.—Questionnaire survey mailed to 1751 laboratories in mid-2003. Participants.—Laboratories enrolled in the College of American Pathologists Interlaboratory Comparison Program in Cervicovaginal Cytology. Results.—Of the 759 responding laboratories, most (85.5%) had implemented Bethesda 2001 terminology, and the majority had adopted major changes, such as elimination of the benign cellular changes category and the satisfactory but limited category. The median reporting rate for low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was 2.1%, compared to a 1996 median rate of 1.6%, but the increase was confined to liquid-based preparations. Reporting rates for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (median, 0.5%) and atypical squamous cells (ASC) had changed little. Most ASC cases were subclassified as “undetermined significance” (median, 3.9%) with ASC, cannot exclude high-grade SIL accounting for a minority (median, 0.2%). The median ratio of ASC to squamous intraepithelial lesions and carcinomas (SIL+) was 1.4 and was lower than the 1996 median ratio of 2.0. Median reporting rates for squamous abnormalities for 2002 were noted to be significantly higher for liquid-based preparations than for conventional smears, while median ASC/SIL+ ratios were lower. Most laboratories offer human papillomavirus testing, but almost half (47%) of laboratories do not know the percentage of positive testing results in patients with ASC. Conclusions.—Most laboratories have implemented Bethesda 2001 terminology. New criteria and liquid-based methods have led to an increase in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion reporting rates and a decrease in ASC/ SIL+ ratios when compared with 1996 data. Liquid-based preparations have higher median squamous intraepithelial lesion rates and lower ASC/SIL+ ratios than conventional smears.

Abstract Context.—Although human papillomavirus (HPV) testing may aid in managing low-grade abnormality on screening cervical cytology, patient compliance with repeat testing programs requires consideration. Objectives.—To determine effectiveness and costs of repeated Papanicolaou (Pap) test and oncogenic HPV testing for detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3. Design.—We conducted a randomized controlled trial of combined Pap test and cervical HPV testing by Hybrid Capture 1 test compared with Pap test alone; tests were performed every 6 months for up to 2 years. The study end point was colposcopic examination performed on all women at 2 years, or earlier if an HPV test was positive or if a Pap test showed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Setting.—Sixty-six community family practices. Participants.—Two hundred fifty-seven women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on screening cervical cytology. Main Outcome Measures.—Detection of histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3, fully allocated costs, and loss to follow-up. Results.—Combined Pap test and HPV testing detected 11 (100%) of 11 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3, whereas Pap test alone detected 7 (63.6%) of these 11 cases (P = .14); corresponding specificities were 39 (46.4%) of 84 and 45 (71.4%) of 63 (P = .005). The cost-effectiveness ratio was Can $4456 per additional case of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Sixty-nine (26.8%) of the 257 women (24.6% combined group vs 29.1% Pap test only group, P = .41) defaulted from testing or from colposcopy when referred with an abnormal result. Conclusions.—Combined testing was more costly but may detect more cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 than Pap test alone. However, poor adherence limits usefulness of a management strategy that requires repeated follow-up.

Kanker serviks merupakan keganasan pada serviks. Jenis kanker tersebut terjadi pada perempuan dan masih menjadi masalah di Indonesia. Indonesia merupakan negara urutan ke 4 di Asia Tenggara dengan insiden kanker serviks terbesar setelah Kamboja, Myanmar dan Thailand. Berdasar data statistik tahun 2012, tingkat insidensi (incidence rate) kanker serviks di Indonesia 17 per 100.000 perempuan per tahun.(1) Telah terbukti bahwa penyebab primer terjadinya kanker serviks yaitu virus papilloma atau yang lebih dikenal dengan istilah “human papillomavirus (HPV)”. Terdapat beberapa jenis serotype HPV, tetapi tidak semua jenis serotype bersifat progesif menjadikan kanker serviks. Salah satu serotype yang bersifat progesif menjadikan kanker serviks yaitu HPV serotype 16. HPV serotype 16 mampu mengubah sel epitel squamosa serviks (cervical-squamous-epithelial cells=CSEC) normal menjadi lesi intraepitelial squamosa tingkat rendah (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion=LSIL) atau neoplasia intraepitel serviks (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia=CIN) 1. Selanjutnya, LSIL atau CIN 1 berkembang menjadi lesi intraepitelial squamosa tingkat tinggi (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion=HSIL) atau CIN 2, dan akhirnya menjadi kanker serviks yang invasif (invasive cervical cancer=CIN3).(2)

Background: Clinicians commonly perform colposcopy directed biopsies on patients with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) on PAP cytology even when not consistent with clinical guidelines. Objective: We study the association of PAP cytology screening results with cervical intra-epithelia neoplasia (CIN) 2-3 high-grade dysplasia, as confirmed by colposcopy-directed biopsy. Methods: A retrospective study of 263 women with an abnormality on the PAP smear. Multinomial logistic regression was performed with predictors of PAP cytology screening results with the outcome variable of colposcopy-directed biopsy. Results: High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) had significantly increased relative risk for CIN 2-3 (RR: 9.85, 95% CI: 1.84, 52.79, p=0.008). LSIL was not significantly associated with CIN 2-3. In the comparisons of negative with CIN-1, both HSIL and LSIL were not significantly associated with a negative biopsy. Conclusion: HSIL is associated with cervical dysplasia of CIN 2-3 while LSIL is not associated with cervical dysplasia of CIN 2-3. We do not recommend routine biopsies in patients with LSIL cytologic abnormalities unless additional compelling factors exist.
