Cervical Cancer Screening and HPV Vaccination September 6, 2017 Laura Chambers-Kersh
Recall epidemiology of cervical cancer and the role of HPV Review recommended screening protocols for cervical cancer Examine efficacy and safety of HPV vaccine Review vaccination schedule for HPV Strategize on how best to talk about HPV vaccine
How many cases of cervical cancer are there per year in the US? 1000 2000 5000 10,000 13,000
True or False Most young women will clear an HPV infection within 8 to 24 months The prevalence of cervical HPV infection decreases after the age of 30, but the likelihood of persistent infection increases among women diagnosed with invasive cervical carcinoma, 70% have never had a Pap smear cytologic screening for cervical cancer with Pap smears has never been evaluated in a randomized trial
Risk Factors oral contraceptive use cigarette smoking HIV Other immunosuppression Early onset of intercourse Multiple partners Low socioeconomic status rural Being non-white
When did the US start using the pap smear to screen for cervical cancer? The United States adopted screening with the Pap test in the 1950s, and by the mid-1980s cervical cancer incidence decreased by 70 percent
When to start screening?
When to start screening? Starting at age 21, women should be screened even if they report sexual abstinence. In the United States, the age-adjusted incidence of cervical cancer in women ages 15 to 19 years is 0.1 per 100,000
Of the approximately 30 to 40 HPV genotypes that infect the genital tract mucosa, types 16 and 18 are responsible for about 70 percent of cervical cancer and 50 percent of cervical cancer precursors
Screen every three years when < 30 In women <30 the poor specificity and correspondingly poor positive predictive value limit the usefulness of HPV testing as a screening modality
How do we screen women >30? women age ≥30 years and older be screened with either: Pap test every three years Co-testing (Pap test and HPV testing) every five years if both initial tests are negative
When to stop screening?
You can stop screening women at age 65 as long as they meet all of the criteria below except: No increased risk (ie, history of abnormal screening, current smoker or history of smoking, unknown screening history, previous HPV-related disease, new partners, immunocompromised, in utero diethylstilbestrol exposure). Adequate prior screening: two negative consecutive co-tests or three negative Pap tests within the past 10 years, with the most recent test within the previous five years No history of high-grade dysplasia or worse
True or False Pap test abnormalities among previously screened older women have better positive predictive value for significant pathology than in younger women FALSE! A study in pre- and postmenopausal women who had Pap tests showing atypical squamous cells (cannot exclude high-grade lesion, ASC-H) found high-grade histology in 22 percent of pre-menopausal women, compared with 6 percent of postmenopausal women
Not a lot of good data about when to stop A 2013 systematic review of 24 studies found no conclusive evidence to support a specific age to stop cervical cancer screening, as none of the reviewed studies looked specifically at this question A subsequent observational study found that when corrected for the high prevalence of hysterectomy in the United States (1/3 of all women by age 60), the incidence of invasive cervical cancer in older women may be higher than previously thought and may not decline with increasing age
What about older women who have never been screened? Some experts suggest screening with either Pap test every two to three years or co-testing every five years The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) suggests that screening be continued until age 70 or 75
Older women who have never been screened have the highest incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer and benefit the most from screening
TRUE OR FALSE Total hysterectomy (with cervix removed) and no history of cervical cancer or CIN can stop screening Women with a subtotal hysterectomy can stop screening Women who have had a hysterectomy for CIN2 or 3 should have screening for 10 years after the surgery Smokers should continue to have screening after age 65 Recipients of the HPV vaccine can stop screening after 3 normal pap smears
Frequency of Testing How confident are you that you can do this every 3-5 years? a population-based study of over 300,000 women aged 30 and older found that women who had negative co-testing had a 0.16 percent cumulative incidence of CIN 3 or worse at five years
Primary HPV Testing
Screening Rates in the US In a survey of screening in the United States in 2010, what percent of women aged 21 to 65 years with a cervix reported having had a Papanicolaou (Pap) test within the preceding three years ? 95% 87% 62% 53%
HPV VACCINE
90% of anogenital warts are caused by which HPV types? 6 and 11 16 and 18 31 and 45 31, 33, and 52
90% of cervical cancers are caused by the following HPV types? 16 and 18 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 A and B None of the above
Vaccines Gardisil Gardisil-9 Cervarix 6, 11, 16, 18 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58 Cervarix 16, 18
At what age should you start vaccinating 9-10 11-12 13-14 15 and older
TRUE OR FALSE None of the available HPV vaccines treat or accelerate the clearance of preexisting vaccine-type HPV infections or related disease A history of an abnormal Papanicolaou test, genital warts, or HPV infection is a contraindication to HPV immunization The same HPV vaccine formulation must be used to complete the series the recommended dosing schedule depends on the age of the patient at vaccine initiation
Individuals initiating the vaccine series before 15 years of age Two doses of HPV vaccine should be given at 0 and at 6 to 12 months. Individuals initiating the vaccine series at 15 years of age or older Three doses of HPV vaccine should be given at 0, 1 to 2 (typically 2), and 6 Immunocompromised patients Three doses of HPV vaccine should be given at 0, 1 to 2, and 6 months regardless of age. Less than 15: If the second dose was administered less than five months after the first, the dose should be repeated a minimum of 12 weeks after the second dose and a minimum of five months after the first. Older than 15: months.The minimum intervals between the first two doses is four weeks, between the second and third doses is 12 weeks, and between the first and third dose is five months. If a dose was administered at a shorter interval, it should be repeated once the minimum recommended interval since the most recent dose has passed.
EFFICACY Efficacy for preventing CIN2 or more severe disease due to HPV vaccine types was 97-100% in HPV naïve populations 44 percent among the overall population the same among women who received the 9-valent vaccine and those who received the quadrivalent vaccine efficacy of the 9-valent vaccine for preventing CIN2 or more severe disease, VIN2 or 3, and VaIN2 or 3 associated with HPV types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 (the types not contained in the quadrivalent vaccine) was:97 percent among the HPV-naïve population
preventing vulvar and vaginal condylomata 100 percent among HPV-naïve participants (without evidence of HPV vaccine types at enrollment) 70 to 78 percent among the overall population (with or without HPV infection at enrollment) double-blind trial involving 5455 women between the ages of 16 and 24 years, we assigned 2723 women to receive vaccine and 2732 to receive placebo
in countries such as Australia that have achieved vaccination rates >70 percent, there has already been a 38 percent reduction in high grade dysplasia Reductions in cervical disease have also been observed where vaccine uptake has been suboptimal in a study from New Mexico where vaccine uptake ranged from 17 to 40 percent, the incidence of CIN continually decreased among females aged 15 to 19 years between 2007 and 2014 (10 and 40 percent reduction annually for CIN2 and CIN3, respectively)
Safety no increased risk of Guillain-Barré Syndrome compared with other vaccines in similar age groups Most common side effect is mild injection site reaction (may be higher with 9-valent) Other possible reactions: syncope, headache, fever, dizziness Anaphylaxis: in the US, only 10 cases met predefined criteria for anaphylaxis; the overall risk ratio was 0.1 case per 100,000 doses distributed
Behavioral Impact Studies have not supported an increase in risky sexual behavior following vaccination retrospective study of preteenage girls enrolled in a large health care system, the combined incidence of pregnancy testing, chlamydia testing, and contraception counseling was determined among those girls who did (n = 493) and did not (n = 905) receive at least one HPV vaccine dose After adjustment for baseline health care utilization, race, and socioeconomic status, HPV vaccination was not associated with an increased rate of these sexual activity-related outcomes
