Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To determine whether Hybrid Capture 2 High-Risk HPV DNA Test (HC2) can be used as a test of cure in women treated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN 2+) and allow discharge from colposcopy follow-up with a return to a cytology-based screening program for HC2-negative women. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Data were analyzed for all women who underwent a loop electrosurgical excision procedure between August 1, 2008, and June 30, 2011, and had a valid HC2 result after loop electrosurgical excision procedure and follow-up histopathology result, to determine risk of persistent or recurrent CIN 2+ in HC2-positive and HC2-negative women. RESULTS:Two thousand three hundred forty women had adequate biopsies and valid HC2 results. Of 460 HC2-positive women, 118 (25.7%) were diagnosed with CIN 2+, whereas of 1,880 HC2-negative women, 35 (1.9%) had a subsequent diagnosis of CIN 2+ (p < .0002) yielding a HC2-negative predictive value of 98.1% (95% confidence interval = 97.4-98.7). Of 460 HC2-positive women, 306 initially had negative biopsies. In the subsequent 36 months, 38 of the 306 were diagnosed with CIN 2+. CONCLUSIONS:We conclude that women with a negative HC2 test can safely return to routine annual cytology screening by primary care providers while women who test HC2 positive are at higher risk and should continue to be followed by colposcopy, even if their initial biopsy is negative.
