Evaluation of Pathological Findings and Colposcopic Outcomes Among Women Referred After Cervical Cancer Screening

Öz

Objective:
This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the detected pathologies of patients referred for colposcopy as a result of the cervical cancer screening program and their colposcopic evaluation outcomes. Materials and Methods: The referral characteristics and colposcopic diagnoses of 345 patients who were referred to Pamukkale University over one year for colposcopy following the regional cancer early detection program were retrospectively evaluated. Results:
Among the 345 patients determined as high-risk during screening and referred to our unit within one year, a total of nine cases of cancer or carcinoma in situ were identified. Only one of the cancer cases had an HGSIL result on screening, while seven (78%) had Pap smear results reported as negative or inadequate. HPV type 16 was detected in all nine cases, and one patient had co-infection with both types 16 and 18. Additionally, CIN 2 or CIN 3 was diagnosed in 112 patients (32.5%) following colposcopy. Analysis of cases with high-grade histopathological lesions showed positivity for HPV types 16 or 18 in 86 women (76.8%). Examination of smear results in these cases revealed that approximately half (n = 57, 50.9%) had negative Pap smear findings. Conclusion:
In this study, only one of the cancer cases had an HGSIL smear result, whereas notably, six cases had negative smear results. All cancer cases were positive for HPV type 16. These findings confirm the superiority of HPV testing over Pap smear screening in cervical cancer detection again. They also indicate that colposcopic evaluation is necessary in patients who test positive for HPV 16 even when their smear results are negative. High-grade histopathological lesions were detected in 23.2% of patients with HPV types other than 16–18. According to prospective follow-up data, the risks associated with different HPV types for preinvasive and invasive cancer may be assessed more precisely, potentially allowing modifications in screening programs.
