Approaches to triage optimization in HPV primary screening: Extended genotyping and p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology-Retrospective insights from ATHENA.

ABSTRACT: The objective of our study was to assess the performance of different triage strategies for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV)-positive results utilizing either extended genotyping or a p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology (DS) approach, with or without partial genotyping. A subset of women with hrHPV infections participating in the Addressing the Need for Advanced HPV Diagnostics (ATHENA) study were analyzed to determine the number of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse (?CIN3) cases detected, and the absolute risk for ?CIN3 of each genotype. A clinical utility table was constructed to compare the impact of different triage strategies. In all, 2,339 women with single-genotype hrHPV infections were identified. Among these were 171??CIN3 cases. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved algorithm (HPV16/18 positive, or 12-other hrHPV positive and Pap positive, i.e., ? atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) for primary HPV screening detected 132/171 (77.2%)??CIN3 cases and required 964 colposcopies (colposcopies per ?CIN3 ratio: 7.3). An approach that uses DS instead of cytology in the FDA-approved algorithm detected 147/171 (86.0%)??CIN3 cases, requiring 1,012 colposcopies (ratio: 6.9). Utilizing DS for triage of all hrHPV-positive women identified 126/171 (73.7%)??CIN3 cases, requiring 640 colposcopies (ratio: 5.1). A strategy that detected HPV16/18/31/33/35+ captured 130/171 (76.0%)??CIN3 cases, requiring 1,025 colposcopies (ratio: 7.9). Inclusion of additional genotypes resulted in greater disease detection at the expense of higher colposcopy ratios. Substituting cytology with a DS triage approach improved disease detection and the colposcopy detection rate. Further reduction of colposcopy rates can be achieved by using DS without partial genotyping. Extended genotyping strategies can identify a comparable number of cases but requires an increased number of colposcopies.

Project description:ImportanceAs cervical cancer screening transitions to primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, effective triage and management of HPV-positive women is critical to avoid unnecessary colposcopy referral and associated harms while maintaining high sensitivity for cervical precancer. Triage with p16/Ki-67 dual-stain (DS) testing has shown high sensitivity and specificity for detection of cervical precancers; however, longitudinal studies are needed to determine the long-term risk of precancer following a negative DS result.ObjectiveTo evaluate the longitudinal performance of p16/Ki-67 DS triage for detection of cervical precancer in HPV-positive women over 5 years of follow-up in the context of clinical management thresholds.Design, setting, and participantsProspective cohort study of HPV-positive women 30 years or older undergoing routine cervical cancer screening in 2012 with HPV and Papanicolaou (hereinafter "cytology") co-testing within the Kaiser Permanente Northern California health care system. Follow-up of medical records was conducted through 2017.ExposuresAll p16/Ki-67 DS testing was performed on residual SurePath material, and slides were evaluated for p16/Ki-67 positivity.Main outcomes and measuresHistological end points were ascertained from the clinical database through 2017. We estimated 5-year cumulative risks of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades of 2 or worse (≥CIN2) or grades 3 or worse (≥CIN3) by baseline DS and cytology at yearly intervals using Logistic Weibull models. Risks were compared with clinical management thresholds for colposcopy referral and a 1-year return interval.ResultsAmong the 1549 HPV-positive women in this study, the mean age at enrollment was 42.2 years, and the median follow-up time was 3.7 years (range, 0.2-5.4 years). Positive DS results were associated with significantly higher cumulative 5-year risks of ≥CIN2 compared with abnormal cytology (31.0%; 95% CI, 27.2%-35.3% vs 25.0%; 95% CI, 21.7%-28.7%; P = .03). Women with DS-negative findings had significantly lower 5-year risks of ≥CIN2 compared with women with normal cytology (8.5%; 95% CI, 6.5%-11.1% vs 12.3%; 95% CI, 9.8%-15.4%; P = .04). In DS-negative women, the risks of both ≥CIN2 and ≥CIN3 remained below the colposcopy referral threshold for all 5 years, crossing the 1-year return threshold at 3 years.Conclusions and relevanceTriage with p16/Ki-67 DS provides better long-term risk stratification than cytology over 5 years. The low risk of cervical precancer in p16/Ki-67 DS-negative women permits safe extension of follow-up intervals for 3 years.

Project description:BackgroundSelf-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is a feasible option to improve the cervical screening coverage. However, an ideal triage method for HPV-positive self-samples does not yet exist. The aim of this study was to explore the utility of HPV genotyping and p16INK4a immunostaining (p16) in triaging HPV-positive self-samples, focusing on HPV-positive, cytology-negative (HPCN) women.MethodsA total of 73,699 women were screened in a cervical screening project in China via SeqHPV assay on self-samples. HPV-positive women were called-back and collected cervical sample for p16 immunostaining and liquid-based cytology, those who met any result of HPV16/18+ or visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) + or p16+ were referred for colposcopy, and HPCN women with adequate data on p16 and pathology were analyzed. A triage strategy was considered acceptable if the negative predictive value (NPV) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 or worse (CIN3+) was 98% or more, combined with an improvement of sensitivity and specificity for CIN2+/CIN3+ in reference to the comparator, being HPV16/18 + .ResultsA total of 2731 HPCN women aged 30-64 years were enrolled, 136 (5.0%) CIN2+ and 53 (1.9%) CIN3+ were detected. Five triage strategies met the criteria: p16+; HPV16/33+; 'HPV16+ or HPV33/58/31/35+&p16+'; 'HPV16/33+ or HPV58/31/35+&p16+'; HPV16/18/31/33/45/52/58 + & p16+. These strategies required less or similar colposcopy referrals, and less colposcopies to detected one case of CIN2+/CIN3+, achieving favorable false positive (negative) rates to the comparator. Among them, p16 staining detected 83.1% (79.2%) of underlying CIN2 + (CIN3+) in HPCN women. Moreover, three triage strategies were favorable in sensitivity and/or specificity to the 'HPV16/33+' strategy: p16+; 'HPV16+ or HPV33/58/31/35 + &p16+'; HPV16/18/31/33/45/52/58 + &p16 + .ConclusionsGenotyping for HPV16/33 could be utilized to optimize the management of HPCN women. Moreover, p16 immunostaining, either alone or combined with extended genotypes, is more effective than HPV genotypes alone in the triage of HPCN women.

Project description:Objective: According to the 2019 American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) recommendations, women with a positive high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) diagnosis and low-grade cervical intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) cytology result should be referred for further colposcopy examination. However, this strategy results in over-treatment in several cases. In this study, we assessed the performance of extended HR-HPV genotyping in women with a simultaneous positive HR-HPV and LSIL diagnosis with the aim of improving the current triage strategy. Methods: This study was an observational analysis of women from the Fujian Province Cervical Lesion Screening Cohorts (FCLSCs). Women who were HR-HPV-positive and had a cytological examination of LSIL, which were followed up with colposcopy and biopsy, from 2015 to 2018 were included. The study endpoint was defined as the detection of histological cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+). We combined HR-HPV genotypes according to the prevalence rate in histological CIN2+ and ranked them from high to low to establish HR-HPV genotyping models. Outcomes were assessed with respect to sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and colposcopy referral rate. Results: Overall, 56,788 women undergoing preliminary screening for HR-HPV genotyping were included in this study. Among them, 10,499 women positive for HR-HPV underwent a cytology examination, and 902 women with LSIL cytology diagnosed and subsequent biopsy results were included in the final evaluation. Among these patients, 25.1% (226/902) were found to have CIN2+ in histology. HPV-16, -58, -52, -18, -33, and -31 infections were the most common genotypes, and HPV-16, -18, -58, -33, and -31 (odds ratio [OR] = 5.41, 2.98, 1.38, 1.24, and 1.21, respectively) were associated with the potential for histological CIN2+, from the highest to lowest. In the detection of CIN2+ lesions in HR-HPV-positive LSIL women of different HR-HPV genotyping models, the extended HPV 16/18/31/33/52/58 genotyping model was found to have better efficacy with higher sensitivity (92.9%) and NPV (93.0%), but a significantly lower colposcopy referral rate (74.7%) than the ASCCP-recommended HR-HPV non-genotyping model. Conclusion: For HR-HPV-positive women with LSIL, the HPV 16/18/31/33/52/58 genotyping model can serve as an alternative approach to the ASCCP recommendations, potentially reducing the unnecessary colposcopy referral burden in China.

Project description:ImportanceAs cervical cancer screening transitions from Papanicolaou cytologic screening to primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing worldwide, effective triage tests are needed to decide who among the HPV-positive women should receive further diagnostic evaluation to avoid unnecessary colposcopies and biopsies.ObjectiveTo evaluate the performance of the p16/Ki-67 dual stain (DS) and HPV16/18 genotyping for the triage of HPV-positive women.Design, setting, and participantsA prospective observational study was conducted within the cervical cancer screening program at Kaiser Permanente Northern California of 3225 HPV-positive women undergoing HPV and Papanicolaou cytologic testing with a valid DS result from September 16 to October 31, 2015, with follow-up through December 31, 2018.ExposuresHuman papillomavirus screening with partial genotyping and cytologic triage compared with DS triage.Main outcomes and measuresCervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or more severe (CIN3+) and grade 2 or more severe (CIN2+), diagnosed within 3 years after sample collection.ResultsA total of 3225 women (mean [SD] age, 37.9 [11.3] years) participated in the study. For triage of HPV-positive women with partial genotyping, DS showed better risk stratification for CIN3+ than did Papanicolaou cytologic testing, with women with positive DS results having a higher risk than women with positive Papanicolaou test results for CIN3+ (218 of 1818 [12.0%; 95% CI, 10.5%-13.5%] vs 219 of 2128 [10.3%; 95% CI, 9.0%-11.6%]; P = .005). Similarly, DS showed better risk stratification for CIN3+ compared with Papanicolaou cytologic testing in HPV-positive women, irrespective of genotyping. The greatest reassurance against CIN3+ was observed in HPV16/18-negative women with negative DS results, with a risk low enough to extend retesting intervals. Dual stain triage strategies required substantially fewer colposcopies per detection of CIN3+ compared with Papanicolaou cytologic testing, with a 32.1% (859 of 2677) reduction of colposcopies compared with the currently recommended triage strategy of HPV screening with Papanicolaou cytologic testing. Results for CIN2+ were very similar.Conclusions and relevanceTriage of HPV-positive women with DS was superior to Papanicolaou cytologic testing in this study, demonstrating equal immediate detection of precancerous lesions and substantially reduced referral to colposcopy. These findings suggest that DS can safely replace Papanicolaou cytologic testing as a triage strategy for primary HPV screening, and that retesting intervals in HPV16/18-negative women with negative DS results can be safely extended to 3 years.
