摘要

目的 探讨绝经后妇女高危人乳头瘤病毒(high-risk human papilloma virus,HR-HPV)感染和子宫颈病变筛查与管理的有效方案。方法 回顾性分析2021年1月至2022年9月因绝经后发现子宫颈HR-HPV感染和(或)薄层液基细胞学检查(thinprep cytologic test,TCT)异常在北京协和医院妇科行阴道镜活检及手术治疗的289例患者,对比不同筛查方法的灵敏度,并通过logistic回归方法分析子宫颈高级别病变的危险因素、术后病理升级的危险因素。结果 绝经后妇女发现子宫颈病变的主要路径是健康体检(含HPV检测及TCT筛查),占80.3%(232/289)。HPV检测对于筛查绝经后妇女子宫颈低级别鳞状上皮内病变(low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions,LSIL)及以上的灵敏度显著优于TCT检测(94.1% vs. 76.0%)。HPV16型、52型、58型、18型依次为绝经后妇女常见的HPV感染亚型,HPV亚型对于子宫颈病变级别差异无统计学意义。TCT结果为无明确诊断意义的非典型鳞状细胞(atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance,ASC-US)的患者阴道镜活检病理提示LSIL及以上病变的比例高达95.5%(105/110)。绝经时长是术后病理为高级别鳞状上皮内病变(high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions,HSIL)及以上的危险因素(OR=1.2,95%CI 1.02~1.42,P=0.028),但不增加术后病理升级的风险。首发病变时长≥1年的患者,术后病理较阴道镜活检病理升级的风险明显升高(OR=2.385,95%CI 1.245~4.569,P=0.007)。结论 对绝经后人群子宫颈病变的筛查与管理应更加注重HPV检测结果,并相应放宽阴道镜检查指征。必要时进行诊断性手术,以明确病变的性质和范围。

Abstract

Objective To explore the more effective screening methods and management strategies for high-risk human papilloma virus(HR-HPV) infections and cervical lesions in postmenopausal women. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 289 postmenopausal patients who underwent colposcopic biopsy and surgical treatment at the Department of Gynecology,Peking Union Medical College Hospital,between January 2021 and September 2022,due to HR-HPV infection and/or abnormalities in ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT) results. The sensitivity of different screening methods was compared,and logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for high-grade cervical lesions and for pathological upgrading after surgery. Results Health examinations,including HPV and TCT screenings,is the primary approach to identifying cervical lesions in postmenopausal women,accounting for 80.3% (232/289). HPV testing demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity than TCT (94.1% vs. 76.0%)in detecting low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL)and above. HPV16,52,58,and 18 were the most prevalent HPV subtypes in postmenopausal women,with no significant difference in lesion grade across these types. Among patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASC-US) TCT results, 95.45% (105/110) of colposcopic biopsies revealed low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(LSIL) or higher-grade lesion. Menopause duration was a risk factor for postoperative high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL)and above(OR=1.20,95% CI 1.02-1.42,P=0.028),but did not elevate the likelihood of pathological upgrading after surgery. Patients with first-time lesions persisting for≥1 year had a significantly increased risk of pathological escalation by colposcopic pathology compared to postoperative pathology (OR=2.385,95% CI 1.245-4.569,P=0.007). Conclusions Greater emphasis should be placed on HPV test outcomes in screening and managing cervical lesions in postmenopausal women,and the threshold for recommending colposcopy should be lowered accordingly. Diagnostic surgery is advised when necessary to clarify the nature and extent of cervical lesions.

This study aimed to compare histological outcomes between pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women with cervical cytological abnormalities and to investigate the clinical factors affecting the misinterpretation of cytology and histology.We conducted a retrospective analysis of 599 patients with abnormal cervical cytology who underwent loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) between January 2010 and May 2019. Baseline characteristics were collected, including age, height, weight, body mass index, gravity, parity, and menopausal status. In total, 477 pre-menopausal women and 122 post-menopausal women were recruited.Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions were cytologically observed in 73.4% (135/184) of the pre-menopausal women, which were high-grade lesions confirmed by LEEP. In post-menopausal patients with cytology results that cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASC-H) or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), 27.0% (24/89) were confirmed to have histologically low-grade lesions. High-risk HPV (hrHPV) prevalence in abnormal cervical smears was 92.2%. Moreover, other hrHPVs had a higher risk of unexpected histological outcomes unrelated to cytologic results.Menopausal status and HPV infection are associated with misinterpretation of cervical cytology and histology. Therefore, the menopausal status of patients should be considered for the management of cervical cytology, and primary co-testing is recommended to identify women at risk of cervical abnormalities.Copyright © by The Korean Society of Menopause.

The study aim is to determine the association of post-menopausal status with abnormal Pap smear cytology and cervical dysplasia detected by colposcopically-directed biopsy. We also study the association of biopsy-confirmed dysplasia with Pap smear results.This retrospective study included 480 women with abnormal Pap smear results who were referred for colposcopy. Covariates considered included demographic (age, race/ethnicity, smoking status), sexual activity (age first sexual intercourse, number lifetime partners, duration current partner), and disease (HIV, high-risk HPV, immunosuppression).Post-menopausal status was not significantly associated with abnormal Pap smear cytology or cervical dysplasia. We found a statistically significant association of high-grade dysplasia with high-grade Pap smear results: ASC-H (B=3.43, SE=0.84, p< 0.001); HSIL (B=3.50, SE=0.84, p< 0.001) and AGC (B=3.47, SE=1.02, p< 0.01).Although clinicians may want to consider not requiring colposcopically-directed biopsy for certain post-menopausal patients, we recommend continuing with current cervical cancer guidelines of screening for all women regardless of menopausal status.

During 2013 and 2016 the region of Skåne, Sweden started to analyse human papillomavirus (HPV) and cytology in postmenopausal women 60-65 years of age. Our aim was to evaluate high-risk (HR) HPV mRNA testing for the triage of HPV DNA-positive postmenopausal women with normal cytology.A total of 271 women, 60-65 years of age, underwent liquid-based cytology (LBC) and HPV testing by using the HR-HPV DNA MGP-PCR-Luminex assay. HR-HPV DNA-positive women with normal cytology underwent complimentary HPV mRNA testing (Aptima, Hologic Inc.). Over a period of 49 months (SD 11.0) the women received regular follow-ups at intervals of 12-18 months. Women with abnormal cytology and/or a positive HR-HPV DNA and/or mRNA result at two subsequent visits were scheduled for colposcopy and clinical examination.Over the surveillance period, 3.6% (10/271) of the HR-HPV DNA-positive women developed histologically confirmed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) or worse. The cumulative incidence rates (CIR) were 29.7% (CI 24.8-30.1) for HSIL or worse among HPV mRNA-positive women at enrolment (39.5% 107/271) and 0% among HPV mRNA-negative women (60.5%, 164/271), (p = 0.002).Postmenopausal women with normal cytology testing positive for HR-HPV mRNA are at increased risk for the development of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), in contrast to women with a negative HR-HPV mRNA outcome. The HR-HPV mRNA APTIMA assay detecting 14 HR-HPV types may be a useful triage method among HPV DNA-positive postmenopausal women with normal cytology.

In this study, we examined the difference in the vaginal microbiota of women infected with human papillomavirus (HPV), according to menopausal status. A total of 75 cervicovaginal swab samples from 38 pre- and 37 postmenopausal women with HPV infection were obtained from the Korean HPV cohort. Vaginal microbiota analysis, including microbial diversity and specific bacterial abundances, was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The mean age of the pre- and postmenopausal women were 29.5 and 55.8 years, respectively (p < 0.0001). Lactobacillus spp. were predominant in both groups; however, a marked decrease was observed in postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal women (44.3% vs. 74.2%). Various anaerobic bacteria also showed a relatively high abundance in the postmenopausal group; Atopobium vagina and Gardnerella vaginalis significantly increased in postmenopausal women. Interestingly, no significant differences in bacterial richness were observed between the two groups. However, significant differences in beta-diversity were observed using the Bray-Curtis (p = 0.001), Generalized UniFrac (p = 0.002), Jensen-Shannon (p = 0.001), and UniFrac algorithms (p = 0.002). Theres results indicate that postmenopausal women with HPV infection exhibited a higher degree of vaginal dysbiosis than premenopausal women. Further, HPV-infected postmenopausal women had increased vaginal microbial diversity, characterized by an increase in anaerobic bacteria and concomitant depletion of Lactobacillus spp.© 2024.

The purpose of this study was to thoroughly evaluate the clinical features and surgical options for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in postmenopausal women. A total of 308 patients diagnosed with HSIL through colposcopic cervical biopsy and endocervical curettage were included. Their clinical characteristics, surgical treatments, and postoperative pathology were analyzed. Key findings include: 1. Patients with positive preoperative thinprep cytologic test (TCT) results and postoperative pathology indicating HSIL or squamous cell carcinoma (≥HSIL) were significantly more frequent than those with negative preoperative TCT results (P &lt; .05). 2. Univariate analysis indicated significant impacts of TCT, human papillomavirus (HPV) type, transformation zone (TZ) location, and surgical technique on postoperative pathology (P &lt; .05). 3. Logistic regression analysis confirmed significant influences of TCT, HPV type, TZ location, and surgical method on postoperative pathology outcomes (P &lt; .05), showing that each unit increase in TZ raised the probability of ≥HSIL in postoperative pathology by 49.7%. In surgical comparisons, cold knife conization (CKC) and extrafascial hysterectomy resulted in 8.379 and 4.427 times higher probabilities of ≥HSIL in postoperative pathology, respectively, compared to loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). 4. Surgical methods significantly influenced margin results (P &lt; .05). After LEEP, 17.5% of cases had positive margins, compared to 9.4% after CKC, and 3.7% after extrafascial hysterectomy, indicating the highest rate of positive surgical margins occurred with LEEP. 1. Combined TCT and HPV screening is crucial for cervical cancer prevention, early detection, and management in postmenopausal women. Women with positive results for both TCT and HPV should undergo colposcopic cervical biopsy and endocervical curettage. 2. For patients with TZ3, CKC is the recommended surgical option. 3. CKC is the preferred treatment for postmenopausal women with HSIL, as it effectively diagnoses and treats the lesion, showing superior outcomes in managing postmenopausal HSIL.
