ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genital infection and cervical cancer in adult women from Shenzhen.Methods Cluster sampling was used to investigate the prevalence of HPV infection and cervical cancer from women aged 20-59 years old living in Luohu,Futian,Nanshan,Longgang and Baoan districts in Shenzhen from April 2006 to April 2010.All women were detected for liquid-based cytology test (LCT) or Thinprep cytologic test (TCT)and high-risk HPV-DNA test with hybrid capture Ⅱ (HC-Ⅱ ).All women with ≥ASC-US by cytology and/or a positive HC- Ⅱ test were asked to return for colposcopy and four-quadrant biopsy.Endocervical curettage was performed.Pathological finding were used as the gold standard of the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.Results 10 210 women were involved in the study and 10 017 of them having completed data.The overall positive rate of high-risk HPV-DNA was 16.29％.HPV positive rates in 20-,30-,35-,40-,45-,50-59 age groups were 17.37％,15.59％,16.33％,14.74％,17.16％ and 17.98％,respectively.The curve of HPV infection rates in different age groups appeared a ‘W' shape.HPV infection rates in the 25-years-olds and 50-59 year-olds groups were significantly higher than the other age groups (x2=4.50,P=0.03 ).The overall prevalence rate of cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN) was 7.52％,of which the prevalence rates of low-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN Ⅰ) was 5.32％ high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ ) was 2.21％,cervical cancer was 0.12％.The prevalence of CIN Ⅰ was significantly higher than the CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ (x2=134.15,P＜0.001 ).The prevalence of cervical cancer in 45- age group was 0.12％,the highest.HPV infection rates increased with the grades of cervical lesions including women without CIN as 44.31％,in CIN Ⅰ as 70.73％,in CIN Ⅱ as 86.73％,and in CIN Ⅲ as 96.75％ and in cancer as 100.00％.The HPV infection rates were different in districts (x2=17.81,P=0.03 ),with Futian and Luohu higher than those of Nanshan,Longgang and Baoan district.The prevalence rate of CIN in Baoan was lower than other districts.The CIN prevalence rates were not significantly different among the other districts of Shenzhen (x2=4.84,P=0.18).Conclusion The prevalence of cervical cancer was low in adult women living in Shenzhen,with cervical lesions still in the early stage.Prevention of HPV infection and treatment of CIN were the key points for the prevention of cervical cancer.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) morbidity of women from different occupations in Shenzhen city.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>2045 women of five kinds of occupation in Shenzhen city, including 130 teachers, 385 workers, 316 service women, 199 poverish women, 420 doctors or nurses and 595 general residents were included. We screened these women by methods of detecting high risk HPV of hc2 combing with LCT. Women with screening positive results were diagnosed CIN by colposcopic biopsy.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) High risk factors on HPV infection rate in different occupations were different with the highest in service occupation (19.3%) while the lowest appeared in medical workers (11.9%). (2) In those 2045 women, we found 199 cervical lesions including pathological HPV infection, CIN1, 2, 3 and cervical cancers, with morbidity rates as 4.11%, 3.28%, 1.67%, 0.54% and 0.15% respectively. Along with the progress of the cervical lesions, the morbidity decreased. (3) The morbidity rates of CIN in different occupations were different, with the highest of HSIL in service occupation and the lowest in teachers.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Women of different occupations in Shenzhen city had different high risk HPV infection rates and CIN morbidity. The HPV infection rate and HSIL morbidity were highest among women having service related jobs.</p>
