ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate CD56 immunostaining in the stroma of benign and malignant ovarian epithelial neoplasms and associate the CD56 immunostaining with prognostic factors and survival in ovarian cancer. METHODS: Patients with ovarian epithelial neoplasia (n=77) were studied with a prospective cohort. The CD56 immunostaining was evaluated in the peritumoral stroma. Two groups were evaluated: benign ovarian neoplasms (n=40) and malignant ovarian neoplasms (n=37). Data were recorded for histological type and grade, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging, molecular subtype, and lymph node metastases. Fisher's exact test and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used, with a significance level of ≤0.05. RESULTS: We found greater CD56 stromal immunostaining in malignant neoplasms when compared to the group of benign neoplasms (p=0.00001). There was no significant difference in relation to the prognostic factors and survival. CONCLUSION: Malignant ovarian neoplasms showed higher stromal CD56 immunostaining. As the prognostic value of natural killer in ovarian cancer is controversial, knowing the specific function of each cell present both in the tumor tissue and systemically may help guide successful immunotherapies in the near future.

ABSTRACT

Functional cysts usually do not cause symptoms or require surgical intervention. We reported a 17-year-old primi-gravida, gestational age of 10 weeks and 2 days, and ultrasound showing anechoic cyst in the right parauterine re-gion without septa, with a larger diameter of 13.5cm, 632ml, and Doppler color without peripheral vascularization. The patient was oligosymptomatic during gestation. At 37 weeks and 6 days, gestation was interrupted, when the cyst had 2600 ml by ultrasonography. Fetal extraction was performed by cesarean delivery, and a large adnexal cyst visualized on the right was removed. The histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen revealed a cystic le-sion coated by luteinized cells with discrete hyperchromatic and slightly pleomorphic nuclei, with underlying fibrous stroma with sparse luteinized cells, characterizing a giant luteinized follicular cyst of pregnancy. The prevalence of ovarian masses in pregnancy is rare, usually not exceeding 5 cm in diameter, and disappearing spontaneously in the second trimester. The patient in the case report had a cyst of 632 ml, increasing in volume to 2600 ml at the time of delivery. Definitive preoperative diagnosis of ovarian masses is still difficult, and predictive criteria for malignancy include the use of tumor markers, ultrasound, and Doppler. The association of these tests should guide the clinician to define the best time for surgical intervention. The association of these tests should guide the clinician to define the best time for surgical intervention (AU)


Os cistos funcionais geralmente não causam sintomas ou requerem intervenção cirúrgica. Relatamos o caso de uma primigesta de 17 anos, idade gestacional de 10 semanas e 2 dias, e ultrassonografia mostrando cisto anecoico em região parauterina direita sem septos, com maior diâmetro de 13,5cm, volume 632ml e Doppler sem vascularização periférica. A paciente permaneceu oligossintomática durante a gestação. Com 37 semanas e 6 dias, a gestação foi interrompida, quando o cisto apresentava 2.600 ml pela ultrassonografia. A extração fetal foi realizada por cesaria-na, e um grande cisto anexial visualizado à direita foi removido. A análise histopatológica da peça cirúrgica revelou lesão cística revestida por células luteinizadas com núcleos discretamente hipercromáticos e levemente pleomór-ficos, com estroma fibroso subjacente com células luteinizadas esparsas, caracterizando cisto folicular luteinizado gigante da gravidez. A prevalência de massas ovarianas na gravidez é rara, geralmente não ultrapassam o diâmetro de 5 cm, e desaparecem espontaneamente no segundo trimestre. A paciente do relato de caso apresentou cisto de 632 ml, aumentando de volume para 2600 ml no momento do parto. O diagnóstico pré-operatório definitivo de massas ovarianas ainda é difícil, e os critérios preditivos de malignidade incluem o uso de marcadores tumorais, ultrassonografia e Doppler. A associação desses testes deve orientar o clínico para definir o melhor momento para a intervenção cirúrgica (AU)

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to verify whether the parameters of the blood count and the fasting glucose level before treatment are related to prognosis and survival in cervical cancer (IIB-IVB staging). METHODS: Patients with cervical cancer (stages IIB-IVB) were evaluated (n=80). Age, parity, staging, histological grade, histological type, hemoglobin, red blood cells, hematocrit, neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts, red blood cell distribution width, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, fasting glucose levels, overall survival, and disease-free survival were evaluated. The results of laboratory parameters were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to obtain the area under the curve and determine the best cutoff values for each parameter. Survival was verified by using the Kaplan-Meier method, followed by the log-rank test. The level of significance was ≤0.05. RESULTS: Regarding staging, lower hemoglobin values (p=0.0013), red blood cells (p=0.009), hematocrit (p=0.0016), higher leukocytes (p=0.0432), neutrophils (p=0.0176), platelets (p=0.0140), red blood cell distribution width (RDW) (p=0.0073), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (p=0.0039), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (p=0.0006), and fasting glucose level (p=0.0278) were found in IIIA-IVB compared with IIB staging. Shorter disease-free survival was associated with hemoglobin ≤12.3 g/dl (p=0.0491), hematocrit ≤38.5% (p=0.05), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio >2.9 (p=0.0478), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio >184.9 (p=0.0207). Shorter overall survival was associated with hemoglobin ≤12.3 g/dl (p=0.0131), hematocrit ≤38.5% (p=0.0376), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio >2.9 (p=0.0258), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio >184.9 (p=0.0038). CONCLUSION: The analysis of these low-cost and easily accessible parameters could be a way to monitor patients in order to predict treatment failures and act as early as possible.

ABSTRACT

Uterine leiomyoma is a benign tumor of myometrial tissue which affects women of reproductive age. Its prevalence increases with age and has a peak incidence at the age of forty. The term "metastasizing leiomyoma" refers to a tumor of dense connective tissue and smooth myometrial muscle cells located outside the uterus. This group of tumors can metastasize to different organs, the lung being its main focus. We present the case report of a 33-year-old female gravida 3, para 1, abortus 1, at 11 weeks of pregnancy, with pelvic masses. The diagnosis was metastasizing leiomyoma during pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To relate disease-free survival and overall survival with type I and type II ovarian cancer and preoperative laboratory parameters biomarkers. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out based on the collection of data from medical records of patients with ovarian tumors. Kaplan-Mayer curves were drawn based on the statistical analysis of the data and were compared using the Log-rank test. RESULTS Disease-free survival in type I ovarian cancer was significantly higher than in type II (p=0.0013), as well as in those with normal levels of CA-125 (p=0.0243) and with a platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) lower than 200 (p=0.0038). The overall survival of patients with type I ovarian cancer was significantly higher than in patients with type II, as well as in patients with normal CA-125 serum levels (p=0.0039) and those with a preoperative fasting glucose of less than 100 mg/dL. CONCLUSION CA-125 levels may predict greater overall and disease-free survival. PLR < 200 may suggest greater disease-free survival, whereas normal fasting glucose may suggest greater overall survival.


RESUMO OBJETIVO Relacionar a sobrevida livre de doença e sobrevida global com câncer de ovário tipos I e II, assim como com parâmetros laboratoriais pré-operatórios biomarcadores. MÉTODOS Estudo retrospectivo realizado com base na coleta de dados de prontuários de pacientes com tumor ovariano. As curvas de Kaplan-Mayer foram realizadas em relação à análise estatística dos dados, sendo comparadas pelo teste de Log-rank. RESULTADOS A sobrevida livre de doença nas pacientes com câncer de ovário tipo I foi significativamente maior do que nas pacientes com câncer de ovário tipo II (p = 0,0013), bem como maior naquelas com níveis normais de CA-125 (p = 0,0243) e com relação plaquetas-linfócitos (RPL) inferior a 200 (p = 0,0038). A sobrevida global de pacientes com câncer de ovário tipo I foi significativamente maior do que em pacientes com tipo II, maior em pacientes com níveis séricos normais de CA-125 (p = 0,0039) e naquelas com glicemia de jejum pré-operatória menor que 100 mg / dL. CONCLUSÃO Os níveis de CA-125 podem predizer uma sobrevida global e livre de doença. A RPL < 200 pode sugerir uma maior sobrevida livre de doença, enquanto uma glicemia normal de jejum, uma maior sobrevida global.

ABSTRACT

Adverse events due to cancer treatment (changes in weight, reduced muscle capacity and mobility) hinder the quality of life (QoL) of cancer survivors. Nevertheless, the identification of discriminative predictors of QoL in post-menopausal women (PW) survivors of gynecological cancer (PW-SGC) has been ignored. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of muscle capacity, mobility and body mass index (BMI) on the deterioration of QoL in PW (n=35; 62.1±8.2 years) and PW-SGC (n=51; 60.8±11.4 years). Methods: The QoL questionnaire (SF-36), anthropometrical evaluation (BMI), hand-held dynamometry (HHD) and short physical performance battery (SPPB) were applied in all volunteers. Results: The participants had overweight, low SF-36 scores and normal HHD, and no significant differences were found between both groups, however the SPPB score was higher in the PW group (p<0.001). Linear regression analyses for QoL indicated the BMI (beta=-0.27) and the SPPB (beta=0.57) were the strongest and most significant predictors in PW and PW-SGC, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) for the SPPB score was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.57-0.87; P=0.015) in the PW-SGC group and 0.62 (95% CI: 0.47-0.75; P = 0.181) in PW. Conclusion: The present study showed that the importance of BMI and mobility (SPPB) for QoL differ between PW and PW-SGC. For PW-SGC, the strongest independent predictor of QoL was mobility (SPPB), whereas BMI was the strongest contributor in PW. Moreover, the SPPB test is a discriminative predictor (or assessment tool) for identifying the low quality of life in postmenopausal women survivors of gynecological cancer.


Efeitos adversos do tratamento (modificações da massa corporal e reduções da capacidade muscular e mobilidade) podem modificar a qualidade de vida (QV) de sobreviventes de câncer. Semelhantemente, a menopausa e o envelhecimento podem promover alterações antropométricas e da função física. Portanto, torna-se necessário o levantamento de ferramentas para predizer, distintamente, a QV em mulheres na pós menopausa (PM) e em mulheres na pós menopausa sobreviventes de câncer ginecológico (PMSCG). Objetivo: Examinar a contribuição da força, mobilidade e do índice de massa corporal (IMC) sobre as alterações da QV em PM (n = 35; 62,1±8,2 anos) e PMSCG (n = 51; 60,8±11,4 anos). Métodos: Aplicou-se questionário de QV (SF-36), avaliação antropométrica (IMC), dinamometria de preensão manual (DPM) e short physical performance battery (SPPB). Resultados: Participantes apresentaram sobrepeso, baixo score em SF36 e DPM normal, sem diferenças entre os grupos. O score de SPPB foi maior em PM (p<0,001). Análise de regressão linear de QV, indicou IMC (beta = -0,27) e o SPPB (beta = 0,57), como os mais fortes preditores em PM e PMSCG, respectivamente. A área sob a curva para o score do SPPB foi 0,74 (95% CI: 0,57-0.87; P = 0,015) em PMSCG e 0,62 (95% CI: 0,47-0,75; P = 0,181) em PM. Conclusão: O presente estudo demonstrou que para PMSCG o principal preditor da QV foi a mobilidade (SPPB), enquanto o IMC foi o mais forte contribuidor em PM. Portanto, o SPPB é um teste específico para identificar reduções na QV pacientes sobreviventes de câncer ginecológico.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among gynecologic tumors because in most of the cases (75%), the disease is diagnosed in advanced stages. Screening methods are not available since the disease is rare, and the tested methods, such as ultrasound and CA125, were not able to decrease the mortality rate for this type of cancer. This article discusses the main risk factors for ovarian cancer, and the potential clinical and surgical strategies for the prevention of this disease.


Resumo O câncer de ovário é a principal causa de morte entre os tumores ginecológicos, já que na maioria dos casos (75%) o diagnóstico ocorre em estádios avançados. Métodos de rastreamento não estão disponíveis, já que a doença é rara, e osmétodos diagnósticos, como ultrassonografia e CA 125, não são capazes de reduzir a taxa de mortalidade desse câncer. Este artigo discute os principais fatores de risco para o câncer de ovário e as possíveis estratégias clínicas e cirúrgicas para a prevenção dessa doença.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: There are few studies in the literature correlating metabolic alterations with prognostic factors in breast cancer. The aims of this study were to evaluate serum levels of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and fasting glucose, weight, body mass index and blood pressure, and relate them to prognostic factors (stage, lymph node involvement, histological grade, estrogen and progesterone receptors, ki-67 and Her2/neu) in patients with breast cancer. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in Mastology Service of the Discipline of Gynecology and Obstetrics/Oncologycal Research Institute (IPON) of the Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). We evaluated 100 patients with breast cancer treated at Mastology Clinic (surgical and/or clinical treatment). Serum levels of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and fasting glucose, weight, body mass index, blood pressure, staging, lymph node involvement,histological grade and immunohistochemical panel (estrogen and progesterone receptors, ki-67 and HER-2/neu) were recorded. Data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation, and the values were compared by using Student's t-test. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statisticallysignificant. Results: Histological grades 1 and 2 were significantly correlated with higher HDL serum levels (p=0.02). Higher levels of triglycerides were found more frequently in grade 3, and highest weight was related to Ki-67 positive, but only with a trend towards significance (p=0.07). Conclusion: HDL can be related to prognosis in breast cancer.


Objetivos: Há poucos estudos na literatura relacionando alterações metabólicas com fatores prognósticos em câncer de mama. Os objetivos desse estudo foram avaliar os níveis séricos de colesterol total, HDL, LDL, triglicérides e glicemia de jejum, peso, índice de massa corporal e pressão arterial, e relacioná-los com fatores prognósticos (estadiamento, envolvimento linfonodal, grau histológico, receptores de estrógeno e progesterona, ki-67 e Her2/neu) em pacientes com câncer de mama. Métodos: Um estudo retrospectivo foi realizado no Serviço de Mastologia da Disciplina de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia e Instituto de Pesquisa em Oncologia (IPON) da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). Nós avaliamos 100 pacientes com câncer de mama tratadas no Serviço de Mastologia (tratamento clínico e/ou cirúrgico). Níveis séricos de colesterol total, HDL, LDL, triglicérides e glicemia de jejum, peso, índice de massa corporal, pressão arterial, estadiamento, envolvimento linfonodal, grau histológico e painel imuno-histoquímico (receptores de estrógeno e progesterona, ki-67 e Her2/neu) foram registrados. Dados foram expressos em média ± desvio padrão, e os valores foram comparados utilizando-se o test t de Student. Valores de p menores que 0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significativos. Resultados: Graus histológicos 1 e 2 foram relacionados significativamente com níveis séricos mais altos de HDL (p=0,02). Níveis mais elevados de triglicérides foram encontrados maisfrequentemente em tumores grau 3, e peso mais alto foi relacionado com positividade de Ki-67, mas apenas com tendência à significância (p=0,07). Conclusão: Níveis séricos de HDL podem estar relacionados ao prognóstico em neoplasia maligna de mama.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to assess the performance of PCR as a means of detecting HPV 16/18 compared to the single probe-based PCR for detecting high-risk HPV, and evaluate these methods for detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in follow-ups for ASCUS testing. It also compares the costs of cytology, PCR methods, colposcopy and biopsy in the Brazilian Unified National Health System. Of the 81 patients with ASCUS, 41 (50.6%) tested positive for HPV 16/18 in PCR testing and 47 (58.02%) tested positive for high-risk HPV with single probe-based PCR testing. The negative predictive value was 93.75% for HPV 16/18 PCR and 100% for single probe-based PCR in cases that progressed to high-grade CIN. The annual costs of patient referral were the following: R$2,144.52 for referral of patients with ASCUS cytology for colposcopy; R$6,307.44 for referral of patients with ASCUS cytology and PCR positive for HPV 16/18 or colposcopy; R$3,691.80 for referral of patients with ASCUS cytology with single probe-based PCR positive for high-risk HPV. Therefore, cost per user can be reduced by performing single probe-based PCR for high-risk HPV on patients with ASCUS.


Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar o desempenho do PCR para detecção de HPV 16/18 versus PCR sonda única para a detecção de HPV de alto risco, avaliar estes métodos na detecção de neoplasia intraepitelial cervical (NIC) no seguimento de ASCUS, e comparar os custos de citologia, métodos de PCR, colposcopia e biópsia no Sistema Único de Saúde. Das 81 pacientes com ASCUS, 41 (50,6%) foram positivas para o HPV 16/18 PCR, e 47 (58,02%) foram positivas para PCR sonda única para HPV de alto risco. O valor preditivo negativo foi de 93,75% para HPV 16/18 PCR e 100% para PCR sonda única em casos que evoluíram para NIC de alto grau. Os custos anuais encaminhando todas as pacientes com ASCUS para a colposcopia, encaminhando à colposcopia as pacientes com ASCUS e PCR positivo para HPV 16/18 e encaminhando à colposcopia aquelas pacientes com ASCUS e PCR sonda única para HPV de alto risco positivo foram de R$2.144,52, R$6.307,44 e R$3.691,80, respectivamente. Considerando eventual redução dos custos para utilização em grandes quantidades, este método poderia ser realizado em ASCUS.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND Objective: Many factors influence occurrences of vulvovaginitis. The aims here were to assess skin color and age-related differences in the vaginal flora and occurrences of vulvovaginitis. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study; tertiary referral hospital (Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro, Uberaba). METHODS: Healthy women who underwent routine outpatient gynecological assessments were assessed for vulvovaginitis and vaginal flora and then divided into whites (n = 13,881) and nonwhites (n = 5,295). Statistical analysis was performed using the X² test, logistic regression and odds ratios. RESULTS: The vaginal microflora was skin-color dependent, with greater occurrence of clue cells, Trichomonas vaginalis and coccobacilli in nonwhite women (p < 0.0001). Döderlein bacilli and cytolytic flora were more prevalent in white women (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.05, respectively). The vaginal microflora was age-dependent within the skin color groups. Among the nonwhite women, clue cells were more prevalent in women aged 21 to 50 years; Trichomonas in women up to 40 years and coccobacili in women between 21 and 40 years (P < 0.05). During the proliferative and secretory phases, the nonwhite women were more likely to present clue cells, Trichomonas, Candida and coccobacilli (OR, proliferative phase: 1.31, 1.79, 1.6 and 1.25 respectively; secretory phase: 1.31, 2.88, 1.74 and 1.21 respectively), while less likely to present Döderlein flora (OR, proliferative phase: 0.76; secretory phase: 0.66), compared with white women, irrespective of age. CONCLUSIONS: There are differences in vulvovaginitis occurrence relating to skin color, which may be associated with variations in vaginal flora.


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: Muitos fatores influenciam a ocorrência de vulvovaginites. Os objetivos foram avaliar diferenças relacionadas à cor da pele e idade na flora vaginal e vulvovaginites. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo transversal; hospital de referência terciário (Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro, Uberaba). MÉTODOS: Mulheres saudáveis em atendimento de rotina para exames ginecológicos foram divididas em brancas (n = 13.881) e não brancas (n = 5.295) e avaliadas quanto a vulvovaginites e flora vaginal. Para análise estatística, foram utilizados teste X², regressão logística e odds ratio. RESULTADOS: Microflora vaginal foi dependente da cor da pele, com maior ocorrência de "clue cells", Trichomonas vaginalis e bacilos cocoides em não brancas (p < 0,0001); bacilos de Döderlein e flora citolítica foram mais prevalentes em brancas (p < 0,0001 e p < 0,05, respectivamente). Flora vaginal foi dependente da idade nos grupos de cor da pele. Entre não brancas, "clue cells", Trichomonas e bacilos cocoides foram mais prevalentes nas idades: 21 a 50 anos, até 40 anos, e 21 a 40 anos respectivamente (p < 0,05). Durante as fases proliferativa e secretória, mulheres não brancas tiveram maior probabilidade de apresentar "clue cells", Trichomonas, Candida e cocoides (odds ratio, OR - fase proliferativa: 1,31; 1,79; 1,6 e 1,25 respectivamente; fase secretória: 1,31; 2,88; 1,74 e 1,21 respectivamente), e menor chance de apresentarem flora Döderlein (OR - fase proliferativa: 0,76; fase secretória: 0,66) comparadas com brancas, independentemente da idade. CONCLUSÕES: Há diferenças na ocorrência de vulvovaginites relacionadas com a cor da pele, podendo haver associação com variações na flora vaginal.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste artigo de revisão foi demonstrar a importância de se associar métodos de imagem ao exame clínico em pacientes com câncer de colo uterino. O tratamento da neoplasia maligna de colo uterino depende do estadiamento baseado pelos critérios da International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Um correto estadiamento é importante para o adequado planejamento terapêutico. A doença em estadiamentos iniciais é tratada somente com cirurgia, mas o manejo do câncer cervical localmente avançado frequentemente requer tratamento combinado: cirurgia, quimioterapia e/ou radioterapia. O estadiamento pela FIGO é baseado no exame clínico, incluindo exame físico, colposcopia, biópsia da lesão, cistoscopia e retoscopia. A detecção de metástase linfonodal e a invasão do tumor ao paramétrio e parede pélvica são mais bem definidas por métodos de imagem, como ressonância magnética e ultrassonografia transretal. Isso sugere que métodos de imagem têm utilidade no estadiamento, melhorando as estratégias de tratamento


The objective of this review article was to demonstrate the value of association between the image methods and the physical examination in cervical cancer. The treatment of uterine cervical cancer depends on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage. A correct staging is important for adequate treatment planning. The early-stage disease is treated by surgery alone, but the management of locally advanced cervical cancer frequently requires a combined treatment: surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. The FIGO staging system is based on clinical examination, including physical examination, colposcopy, lesion biopsy, cystoscopy, and rectoscopy. The detection of lymph node metastasis and the definition of the tumor extension to parametrial and pelvic wall invasion are better defined by imaging methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging and transretal ultrasound. It is suggested that imaging methods are useful in staging, improving the treatment strategies

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate the performance and cost of using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybrid capture in the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in patients with cytological abnormalities (ASCUS/low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion - LSIL), and the feasibility of implementing these methods in Brazil's Unified National Health System (SUS). Colposcopy gave a negative predictive value of 92.86 percent and efficiency of 87.8 percent for diagnosing CIN. The sensitivity of PCR and hybrid capture for detecting CIN was 83.33 percent and 66.67 percent, respectively, and the negative predictive value for diagnosing CIN2/CIN3 was 100 percent and 94.74 percent, respectively. The annual cost for 80 patients was lower when all patients with ASCUS/LSIL were referred for colposcopy than when HPV testing was performed and those with positive results were referred for colposcopy. Therefore, at present, it is financially unfeasible for the National Health System to implement HPV testing to screen patients with cytological abnormalities (ASCUS/LSIL). However, considering that large-scale use might make such methods cheaper, PCR should be the chosen method, since it is less expensive, more sensitive, and has a high negative predictive value.


O trabalho objetivou avaliar o desempenho e o custo do PCR e captura híbrida na detecção de neoplasia intra-epitelial cervical (NIC) em pacientes com anormalidades citológicas (ASCUS/lesões de baixo grau - LBG), e a viabilidade da implantação destes métodos no serviço público de saúde. Observou-se valor preditivo negativo de 92,86 por cento e eficiência de 87,8 por cento da colposcopia para diagnóstico de NIC. A sensibilidade do PCR e captura híbrida na detecção de NIC foi de 83,33 por cento e 66,67 por cento, respectivamente. O valor preditivo negativo no diagnóstico de NICII e III do PCR e captura híbrida foi de 100 por cento e 94,74 por cento, respectivamente. O custo anual das oitenta pacientes foi menor encaminhando-se todas as pacientes com ASCUS/ LBG à colposcopia do que se fossem realizados testes biomoleculares e encaminhando-se aquelas com resultados positivos à colposcopia. Portanto, por enquanto, é inviável financeiramente para o Sistema Unico de Saúde a implantação de métodos de biologia molecular para pacientes com ASCUS e LBG à citologia cérvico-vaginal, mas considerando que o uso em grande escala poderia torná-los mais baratos, o PCR deveria ser o método escolhido, por ter menor custo, alto valor preditivo negativo e melhor sensibilidade.

ABSTRACT

O câncer de colo uterino é a terceira neoplasia maligna mais comum em mulheres no Brasil. Geralmente, o rastreamento tem sido feito pela citologia cérvico-vaginal, e as pacientes com alterações citológicas são encaminhadas para a colposcopia. A infecção do colo uterino por HPV (papilomavírus humano) de alto risco está associada ao desenvolvimento do câncer de colo uterino e lesões precursoras. Apesar do impacto da citologia oncótica cérvico-vaginal na redução da incidência desse câncer no mundo, esse método possui muitas limitações. Recentemente, o desenvolvimento de testes biomoleculares para a detecção de infecção por HPV do colo uterino tem sido uma alternativa ou um método adjunto à citologia para a detecção de NIC (neoplasia intra-epitelial cervical). Muitos estudos mostram a utilidade clínica dos testes biomoleculares para HPV: no rastreamento primário, como adjunto da citologia de ASCUS (células escamosas atípicas de significado indeterminado) ou LIBG (lesão intra-epitelial de baixo grau) e no seguimento pós-tratamento.
