[The new S3 guideline "Prevention of cervical carcinoma" : What is important for pathology?]
Der Pathologe 2018 May
Of the numerous aspects involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cervical uterine precursor lesions, epidemiology, virology, cytology, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, and diagnostic algorithms for equivocal and HPV-positive findings are important for pathologists. Cytology will continue to be used as a preventive medical check-up in young women, while HPV-based screening is suggested for older women. HPV screening has yielded a significant reduction in cancer precursors and invasive cervical carcinoma in numerous studies. In contrast to the sensitivity, the specificity of the HPV test is inferior to that of cytology and the morphological biomarker p16/Ki-67, so that they are suitable as methods in the triage of HPV-positive findings. Cytological abnormalities and mildly dysplastic changes could be further clarified by an HPV test or the p16/Ki-67 test. The HPV test should also be used in the follow-up of patients after conization.
