1 Yasmin Elshenawy, M.D Outpatient Cytopathology Center Johnson city, TN NEW ERA OF THE CERVICAL PAP SMEAR TESTING Disclosure Statement of Financial Interest I am Yasmin Elshenawy, MD DO NOT have a financial interest/arrangement or affiliation with one or more organizations that could be perceived as a real or apparent conflict of interest in the context of the subject of this presentation. Objectives History and epidemiology of the PAP test HPV and its relation to cervical cancer Understand differenet laboratory screening methods New age cutoffs guidelines for PAP screening Update on management guidelines of squamous cervical lesions 1

2 History GEORGE PAPANICOLAOU ( ) At Cornell Hospital, NY women patients were required to take a routine vaginal smear Dr. Herbert Traut Ob/Gyn collaborated with Dr. Papanicolaou to validate the diagnostic potential of the vaginal smear This diagnostic procedure was named the Pap test Epidemiology Cervical Cancer was the #1 Cancer Killer of Women Now Ranks #13 in the USA 12,000 new cases & more than 4000 deaths in % of squamous CA of the cervix contains DNA from high risk types of HPV (HR HPV) American Cancer Society, Atlanta GA 2013 HPV & Cervical Cancer HPV recognized as the underlying cause of cervical cancer since 1996 NIH Consensus Conference on Cervical Cancer 1996 World Health Organization/European Research Organization on Genital Infection and Neoplasia 1996 Munoz, N. et al. HPV in the etiology of human cancer. Vaccine 24S3 2006;24S3:

3 Pathophysiology Family Papillomaviridae 55 nm in diameter 100 HPV have been characterized, >40 identified in the genital tract Non enveloped viruses, DS DNA genome Integrated in premalignant lesions with tumor DNA Woodman CB, Collins SI, Young LS. The natural history of cervical HPV infection: Unresolved issues. Nat Rev Cancer. 2007;7:11 22 E6 binds with p53 (blocks apoptosis) E7 binds to retinoblastoma gene (Rb gene) Both cause unrestricted cell proliferation and blockage of apoptosis Common HPV Types and their effects Low risk HPV 6,11 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, 70, 72, 81 Lead to Benign cervical changes Genital warts Munoz et al. N Engl J Med. 2003;348:518. 3

4 Common HPV Types and their effects High risk HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, 82 Lead to Precancer cervical changes Cervical cancer Anal and other cancers Munoz et al. N Engl J Med. 2003;348:518 Purpose of the PAP test 1) Detect cervical cancer at an early stage 2) Detect and remove high grade lesions, so prevent potential cervical cancer HSIL on cytology has PPV of 70% for CIN 2 or more Up to 8% will have cancer (higher in older women) Limited by: 1. Small lesions 2. Inaccessible location 3. Poor sampling of lesion 4. Few abnormal cells on the slide 5. Inflammation or blood obscuring cell visualization Cibas; Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates, 3 rd edition

5 PAP test is Most successful cancer screening Most expensive cancer screening How to obtain optimum specimen? Cibas, Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates 3 rd edition 2009 Types of smears Liquid base Smear Conventional Smear 5

6 Examples of liquid base preparations Liquid based cytology techniques FDA approved ThinPrep Filtration and collection of vacuum packed cells on a membrane and transferring to the glass slide Surepath Centrifugation and sedimentation through a density gradient Cibas: Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates, 3 rd edition 2009 Advantages of Liquid base Smaller area to screen, Less mistakes Uniform thickness of the smear Less obscuring muscus and blood Ability to perform HPV DNA and other molecular test 6

10 Age Screening Changes U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Cervical Cytology Guidelines March 2012 Criteria Grade Recommendation Cytology only, 21 to 65 years old A Every 3 years Cytology + HPV co testing, years old A Every 5 years Women under 21 years old D Avoid screening Age 65 with adequate prior screening and not high risk D Avoid screening Total hysterectomy; benign disease D Avoid screening HPV testing, alone or in combination, < 30 years old D Avoid screening Beware high risk populations, do not follow the guidelines. 1. History of cervical cancer 2. Exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol (DES) 3. Immune compromised patient (eg, infection with human immunodeficiency virus).

12 Management changes: Adequacy: Transformation zone (EC/TZ) No (EC/TZ) :Prior recommendation was repeat in 1 year Reasoning was that most CIN/SIL/cancer occurs at (EC/TZ) zone New longitudinal studies fail to show that women with no EC/TZ are at increased risk Can you test for HPV with no TZ? Yes, You can Provides independent information More sensitive in detecting early endocervical adenocarcinoma Preferred in women ages 30 65, repeat in 5 years if both are negative Negative PAP 12

13 Management changes for NILM Management changes: Unsatisfactory Pap Tests Insufficient squamous cells or >75% obscured With liquid based Paps, most related to in adequate squamous cells With conventional smears: blood, mucus and thicker material Specimen Adequacy management Unsatisfactory Pap: repeat in 2 4 months Repeated unsatisfactory results : Proceed to colposcopy Treat specific cause of inflammation or atrophy HPV testing not recommended, Why? Positive HPV/unsat Pap cotest: Still results in more patient work up anyway Negative HPV result not helpful if no cellular control 13

14 LSIL, how to diagnose? Enlarged nuclei 3x size of nucleus of intermediate cell Hyperchromasia No nucleoli Binucleation is more common than multinucleation Koilocytes Management of LSIL Management of LSIL 14

15 HSIL, how to diagnose? Nuclei exhibit asymmetrical 3 D clusters High nuclear irregularities High N/C ratio Management of HSIL ASCUS, how to diagnose? Nuclear changes are more marked than reactive, less than LSIL Nucleus is 2.5 3x size of intermediate cell nucleus 15
