ABSTRACT

El cáncer de cuello uterino (CCU) es la primera causa de muerte por cáncer en mujeres en países en vías de desarrollo. La infección persistente por el virus papiloma humano (VPH) es un factor necesario en lesiones preneoplásicas y CCU. La citología cervicovaginal es el método mayormente utilizado para detectar el CCU y su uso combinado con la de detección de ADN viral seis meses post-tratamiento aumenta la efectividad para identificar mujeres tratadas con riesgo de lesión residual/recidiva. El objetivo fue describir la frecuencia de VPH de alto riesgo (AR) en mujeres tratadas por lesión escamosa intraepitelial (SIL) que acudieron al Servicio de Patología Cervical del Hospital San Pablo de enero-diciembre/2014. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transverso, que incluyó 80 pacientes que acudieron al servicio para control post-tratamiento por SIL. Se utilizó Cobas 4800 HPV Test (Roche) para la detección individual de VPH-16 y 18, y un pool de 10 VPH-AR (31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59) y dos de “probable” alto riesgo (66,68). Se encontró infección viral en el 7,5% (6/80) de las pacientes tratadas; identificándose VPH-16 en 3/6 de los casos positivos. En Paraguay existe alta incidencia de lesiones pre-neoplásicas y CCU siendo un problema de salud pública. Los datos observados sugieren que la utilización de este sistema para la detección viral puede llevar a optimizar el seguimiento post-tratamiento y la identificación de VPH-16 y 18 podría contribuir a la selección de pacientes en mayor riesgo de desarrollar una lesión cervical que deben someterse a una vigilancia frecuente y meticulosa.


Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in developing country.Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is a necessary factor in premalignantlesions and cervical cancer. The Pap smear is the method most commonly used to detect thecervical cancer and its combined with the detection of viral DNA six months post-treatment increases effectiveness to identify women treated in risk with residual/recurrent lesion. Theaim was to describe the frequency of high-risk HPV (HR) in treated women for squamousintraepithelial lesion (SIL) who attended the Cervical Pathology Service of Hospital San Pablofrom January to December/2014. It is cross sectional, descriptive study which included 80patients who attended the service for post-treatment control. The 4800 Cobas HPV Test(Roche) was used, which detects HPV-16 and 18, and a pool of 10 HR-HPV(31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59) and two "probable" high risk (66,68). Viral infection wasfound in 7.5% (6/80) of patients treated; identifying HPV-16 in 3/6 of positive cases. InParaguay there is a high incidence of pre-neoplastic lesions and cervical cáncer remains apublic health problem. The observed data suggest that the use of this system for viraldetection can lead to optimize the post-treatment monitoring and the identification of HPV-16and 18 could contribute to the selection of patients at increased risk of developing cervicalinjury should undergo to frequent and careful monitoring.

ABSTRACT

El cáncer de cuello uterino es la primera causa de muerte por cáncer en mujeres en países en vías de desarrollo, con una tasa de incidencia de 34,2 por 100.000 mujeres y de mortalidad de 15,7 por 100.000 mujeres en Paraguay. La sensibilidad de la citología está entre 30-60%, mientras que la de la detección molecular del Virus Papiloma Humano (VPH) en muestras cervicales, es mayor al 90% para detectar neoplasia intraepitelial cervical de grado 2 (CIN II) o más. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la frecuencia de detección de VPH de alto riesgo (AR) y su distribución por edad en mujeres que concurrieron al Hospital San Pablo, de mayo a agosto de 2.013. Se estudiaron 170 muestras cervicales de pacientes que accedieron a participar firmando un consentimiento informado. Se utilizó el sistema Cobas 4800 HPV Test(Roche) que detecta los VPH-AR 16 y 18, y un pool de 10 VPH-AR (31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59) y dos de "probable" alto riesgo (66,68). La frecuencia de infección por VPH-AR fue del 16%, la infección decrecía con la edad y el mayor número de casos apareció en mujeres menores de 30 años. El VPH-16 fue encontrado en todos los grupos de edades. Este es el primer reporte de la detección de ADN de VPH-AR en el LCSP, y se muestra que la prevención y control del cáncer cérvico-uterino es una prioridad de salud pública en el país por la gran carga de la enfermedad evidenciada por su alta incidencia y mortalidad.


Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in developing countries,with an incidence rate of 34.2 per 100,000 women and 15.7 deaths per 100,000 womenin Paraguay. The sensitivity of cytology is 30-60% while molecular detection of HumanPapilloma Virus (HPV) in cervical samples is over 90% for cervical intraepithelial neoplasiagrade 2 (CIN II) or more. The aim of this study was to describe the frequency ofdetection of high-risk HPV (HR) and their distribution by age in women who attended theHospital San Pablo, from May to August 2013. One hundred seventy cervical samplesfrom patients who agreed to participate by signing an informed consent. The 4800 Cobassystem HPV Test (Roche), which detects the HR-HPV genotypes 16 and 18, a pool of 10 HR-HPV (31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59) and two "probable" high risk (66.68). Thefrequency of HR-HPV infection was 16%, the infection decreased with age and the highestnumber of cases occurred in women under 30 years. HPV-16 was found in all age groups.This is the first report about detection of DNA HR-HPV in the LCSP and it showed thatprevention and control of cervical cancer is a public health priority in the country by thelarge burden of the disease as evidenced by its high incidence and mortality.

ABSTRACT

Background: Molecular tests allow the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus in cervical samples, playing an important role in the prevention of cervical cancer. Objectives: We performed a study to determine the prevalence of HPV 16, HPV 18 and other high-risk human papillomavirus (pool 12 genotypes) in Peruvian females from diverse urban areas using the cobas 4800 HPV test. Methods: Routine cervical samples collected in our laboratory were analyzed by cobas 4800 HPV test. Results: A total of 2247 samples from female patients aged 17–79 years were tested. high-risk human papillomavirus was positive in 775 (34.49%) samples. Of these, 641 (82.71%) were single infections and 134 (17.29%) were multiple infections. The positivity rates for HPV 16, HPV 18, and other high-risk human papillomavirus were 10.77%, 2.0%, and 28.08%, respectively. In multiple high-risk human papillomavirus infections, the concomitance of HPV 16 and other high-risk human papillomavirus was more prevalent (13.42%). Conclusion: Our study showed high prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus in urban Peru, mainly among young women. In both single and multiple infections other high-risk human papillomavirus were more prevalent than HPV 16 and HPV 18, which might influence vaccine impact in our country. Furthermore, the cobas 4800 HPV test may be considered a useful tool for HPV molecular diagnosis. .
