Cervical Screening in North Sardinia (Italy): Genotype Distribution and Prevalence of HPV among Women with ASC-US Cytology.

ABSTRACT: The assessment of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype dynamics could support the adoption of more tailored preventive actions against cervical cancer. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence of HPV infection, HPV genotype distribution, and the epidemiological characteristics of women with ASC-US cytology since the introduction of HPV-DNA testing in Sardinia (Italy), (March 2016-December 2020). Specimens were tested by RT-PCR for 14 high-risk HPV genotypes. A total of 1186 patients were enrolled, with a median (IQR) age of 41 (38-48) years. Of these women, 48.1% were positive for at least one HPV genotype; 311 (26.2%) women were vaccinated with a median (IQR) age of 38 (30/47) years. The percentage of prevalence of HPV-16, -31, -66, -56, and -51 was 36.3%, 18.7%, 11.9%, 11.4% and 10.7%, respectively. The highest prevalence of infection was found in women aged <41 years, and single women. Moreover, women aged >41 years (OR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.31-0.86; p-value: 0.01), having parity (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.34-0.96, p-value: 0.04), and higher educational level (OR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.18-0.87; p-value: 0.02) were associated with a lower CIN2+ risk. We did not find a significant difference in terms of prevalence of HPV-16 infection between vaccinated and non-vaccinated (18.3% vs. 17.1%; p-value < 0.001). Our results support the adoption of nonavalent HPV-vaccine to prevent the most prevalent infections caused by HPV-16 and -31 genotypes and underscore the need of surveillance to implement tailored vaccination programs and preventive strategies.

Project description:BackgroundCervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women of child-bearing age in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to determine human papilloma virus (HPV) genotype distribution among HIV-negative women with normal and abnormal cervical cytology results.MethodsWe investigated a consecutive of 233 HIV-negative women between December 2008 and March 2009 presenting in a Tertiary Gynecology Referral Clinic in Ethiopia. Screening was done by Pap cytology and HPV detection and genotyping method was nested PCR (direct amplification with MY09/MY11 primers, followed by nested amplification with GP5/GP6 primers) and sequencing of the nested products. Sequencing of the non-purified nested PCR products was performed following re-amplification with Big dye terminator, using the GP6 primer.ResultsOf the 233 study participants, 92 (39.5%) had abnormal cytology. All women with abnormal cervical cytology had positive HPV DNA compared to only 48.9% of those presenting with normal cytology. Of these women, the frequency of high-risk (HR)-HPV was 83.2% and its prevalence in women with abnormal cervical cytology was significantly higher than those with normal cytology (92.4% vs. 71%, p < 0.0001). The most frequent genotypes identified were HPV16 (44.1%), followed by HPV35 and HPV45 (each 6.2%), HPV31 (4.4%), HPV56 (3.7%), HPV18 and HPV59 (each 3.1%), HPV58 (2.5%) and HPV39 (1.9%). While the most common HR-HPV infections among women with normal cytology were HPV16 (20.3%), followed by HPV35 (8.7%), HPV56 and HPV58 (each 5.8%), HPV18, HPV31 and HPV39 (each 4.4%), HPV45 (2.9%) and HPV59 and HPV68 (each 1.5%), the most common HR-HPV infections in women with abnormal cytology included HPV16 (62%), followed by HPV45 (8.7%), HPV 31, HPV35 and HPV59 (each 4.4%), and HPV18, HPV52 and HPV56 (each 2.2%). We also noted low prevalence of multiple HPV infections in women with normal or abnormal cytology. Multivariable logistic analysis showed that residing in rural area (OR 3.24, 95% CI: 1.13-9.30), being multipara (OR 7.35, 95% CI: 1.78-30.38) and having abnormal cervical cytology results (OR 6.75, 95% CI: 1.78-25.57) were all independently associated with HPV16 genotype.ConclusionsOur study revealed a significant risk of infection with HR-HPV, in particular with HPV16 genotype, in women attending a referral center in Ethiopian women presenting with or without abnormal cervical cytology. Moreover, Pap smear cytology missed a significant proportion of women compared to those who were identified by PCR for HR-HPV infections. In addition, the PCR method we used was not suitable for sensitive detection of co-existent multiple infections. Data from the present study indicate that currently available HPV vaccines could prevent nearly 67% of all cervical cancer cases in women in Ethiopia.

Project description:BackgroundTo explore the positivity rate and genotype distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) tissues in central and eastern China and to provide theoretical basis for cervical cancer screening and prophylactic HPV vaccine development in China.MethodsDNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissues of CSCC samples and exfoliated cervical cells of cervical cancer screening populations. 23 HPV genotypes were detected by combining polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse dot hybridized gene chip detection technology in 2,306 CSCC tissues and 10,245 cervical cancer screening populations. The genotype distribution of HPV infection was analyzed.ResultsThe overall infection rate of HPVs in 2,306 CSCC patients was 92.71%. The frequency of single-type HPV infection and multiple-type HPV infection were 86.48% and 13.51%, respectively. The most common HPV genotypes detected in Chinese CSCC tissues were HPV-16, HPV-18, HPV-31, HPV-33, HPV-45, HPV-52, HPV-58, and HPV-59. The overall positivity rate of these eight high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) genotypes in HPV-positive CSCC was as high as 96.91%. Of which the positivity rate of seven HR-HPV genotypes related to nine-valent HPV vaccines in HPV-positive CSCC was 95.09%. Meanwhile, the overall infection rates of HR-HPV and low-risk HPV (LR-HPV) in female aged 35-64 years who underwent cervical cancer screening were 13.16% and 1.32%, respectively. The high-frequency HR-HPV genotypes in cervical cancer screening women were HPV-52, HPV-58, HPV-16, HPV-53, HPV-68, HPV-39, HPV-51, and HPV-56, with positivity rates of 2.25%, 1.60%, 1.31%, 1.22%, 0.93%, 0.92%, 0.78%, and 0.74%, respectively.ConclusionAmong women screened for cervical cancer in China, detecting the 8 high-frequency HR-HPV genotypes can reduce technical difficulty and reagent costs, while also improving the efficiency and effectiveness of cervical cancer screening. HPV genotyping assists gynecologists in assessing the risk of HR-HPV-positive cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and guiding them in implementing appropriate interventions. Furthermore, HPV genotyping is helpful for doctors to follow up HR-HPV-positive women and to evaluate the protective effect of HPV vaccine.

Project description:BackgroundHPV persistent infection is a strong carcinogenic factor that can induce cervical cancer. Investigation of HPV epidemiology and genotype distribution is of great meaning for the development of cervical cancer prevention and control strategies.MethodsBy using PCR-based hybridization gene chip assay, HPV genotype was detected from 14,185 women that came from HEC (Health Examination Center) or OGOC (Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinics) between 2015 and 2017 in Sichuan area. The epidemiology and genotype distribution as well as the relationship between HPV infection and histology/cytology abnormalities were analyzed.ResultsThe positivity rate of HPV was 23.84%. The HPV-positive rate of OGOC group (37.62%) was significantly higher than that of HEC group (15.29%), p < 0.05. The prevalence of HPV reached peak at age 41-50 (5.86%) in HEC group, but at age 21-30 (14.74%) in OGOC group. Of all the HPV positive women, single genotype infection was the most common form in both HEC and OGOC group (62.06% in total screening population, 74.36% in HEC group and 54.01% in OGOC group). Three most prevalent HPV types were HPV-52 (5.02%), 58 (3.61%), and 16 (3.24%) in total screening population. Of all the HPV positive women, the top three types were HPV-52 (20.93%), CP8304 (15.32%), and 58 (14.42%) in HEC group, while were HPV-52 (21.14%), 16 (16.34%), and 58 (15.61%) in OGOC group. HPV 52/16/58 accounted for 41.84% of cytology and 56.52% of histological abnormalities.ConclusionsWomen in Sichuan area were facing the great threat of HPV infection, especially the women aged between 21 ~ 30 or 41-50 years old. The priority HPV types were HPV 52, 58, and 16 in OGOC group, while were HPV 52, CP8304, and 58 in HEC group. HPV 52/16/58 accounted for the majority of cytology and histological abnormalities. Our analysis was found to be valuable for providing a scientific basis for the prevention and control strategies of cervical cancer in Sichuan area.
