Introduction: Cancer cervix is a common genital cancer. Human papillomavirus is the main cause of cervical cancer because of the strong association of certain HPV genotypes and the development of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia CIN 2 or CIN3. Methods: The study was conducted on 180 gynecological patients seen at the outpatient department of Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. A comparative study of HPV DNA test with Pap smear in the screening of cervical neoplasia was carried out over the period of 24 months from August 2011 to June 2013. Results: The incidence of cervical cancer and its associated mortality has declined in recent years, largely due to the widespread implementation of screening programs by Pap smear testing. The management and the prevention of cervical cancer should change with HPV DNA testing for high risk HPV, which is more sensitive than pap smear testing. Infection of cervix with HPV is necessary to cause cervical neoplasia and cervical cancer. Persistent infection with HPV is required for the development of cervical dysplasia and invasive cervical cancer. Conclusions: HPV testing alone for primary screening appears promising in women aged 30 years and older as this group is at greatest risk of developing CIN 3. As compared with Pap testing, HPV testing has greater sensitivity for detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Colposcopy is often used in follow-up after treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) despite its marked inter-observer variability and low sensitivity. Our objective was to assess the role of colposcopy in post-treatment follow-up in comparison to hrHPV (high-risk human papillomavirus) testing, cytology, and cone margin status. Altogether, 419 women treated for histological high-grade lesion (HSIL) with large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) attended colposcopy with cytology and hrHPV test at six months. Follow-up for recurrence of HSIL continued for 24 months. Colposcopy was considered positive if colposcopic impression was recorded as high grade and cytology if HSIL, ASC-H (atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude HSIL), or AGC-FN (atypical glandular cells, favor neoplasia) were present. Overall, 10 (10/419, 2.4%) recurrent HSIL cases were detected, 5 at 6 months and 5 at 12 months. Colposcopic impression was recorded at 407/419 6-month visits and was positive for 11/407 (2.7%). None of them had recurrent lesions, resulting in 0% sensitivity and 97% specificity for colposcopy. Sensitivity for the hrHPV test at 6 months was 100% and specificity 85%, for cytology 40% and 99%, and for margin status at treatment 60% and 82%, respectively. While the hrHPV test is highly sensitive in predicting recurrence after local treatment for CIN, colposcopy in an unselected population is not useful in follow-up after treatment of CIN.

Aims and background The purpose of this study was to assess the association between highly-oncogenic types HPV DNA detection by Hybrid Capture II (HCII) and residual or recurrent high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2 or 3) during the follow-up of women submitted to large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ). Study design In this cohort study, 94 women submitted to LLETZ because of CIN 2 or 3 between March 2001 and September 2002 were followed up twice yearly until September 2003. Follow-up visits consisted of an interview regarding clinical, social and demographic characteristics complemented with gynecological examination with specimen collection for Pap test and HCII and colposcopy. Eighty-one patients attended the first visit (mean 4.8 months, range 3-6) and 75 the second visit (mean 10.9 months, range 7-17 months). McNemar's test to assess the variation of HPV DNA detection following LLETZ, odds ratios (OR) to evaluate the correlation between HPV DNA positivity and residual/recurrent CIN during follow-up, and logistic regression to assess the risk of residual/recurrent CIN were used. Results There was a strong and significant reduction in HPV detection after LLETZ ( P <0.001). HPV DNA detection was correlated with residual/recurrent CIN at the first (OR = 103.4; 95% CI 5.5 to 1961.2) and second (OR = 12.7; 95% CI 1.1 to 345.5) follow-up visits. Multivariate analysis showed HPV persistence as a stand-alone risk factor for residual/recurrent CIN (OR = 50.3; 95% CI 3.8 to 663.1). Conclusions High risk HPV DNA detection decreased substantially after CIN treatment with LLETZ, but HPV persistence was strongly correlated with residual/recurrent CIN.
