Identificação de HPV de alto risco oncogênico em citologia em meio líquido com atipias escamosas e carcinoma escamoso

Abstract

To identify high-risk HPV genotypes in liquid-based cytology smears(SurePath®) with diagnosis of squamous atypia and squamous carcinoma. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study using 165 liquid-based cytology with squamous atypia and 149 without atypia. HPV genotyping by real-time PCR was performed on this material. The material was processed by COBAS® 4800 System (Roche), which has three detection channels: HPV 16, HPV 18, and HPV HR (other twelve high-risk genotypes). RESULTS:We analyzed 75 cases of ASC-US, 62 LSIL, 8 ASC-H, 12 HSIL and 8 squamous carcinomas. The average age was 32.2 years in the group without atypia, 31.1 years for ASC-US and LSIL, 41.2 years for ASC-H and HSIL and 43.1 years for SCC. There were 112 positive cases for HPV (68%) in the group with atypia: 72% positive for HPV AR, 18% of HPV16 and 10% of HPV 18. Only in ASC-US group, HPV positive and negative frequency was similar (1:1). In the others, the amount of HPV positive cases surpassed negative ones. In the group of Cytology without atypia were found 40 positive cases for HPV (26%): 68% positive for HPV AR probe, 17% of HPV18 and 15% of HPV16. Detections by a single probe predominated in both groups (88% and 84%). In the group with atypia the most prevalent combination was HPV16 and HPV HR (57%); and in cases without atypia was HPV18 and HPV HR (68%) and there was a single positive case for three channels in this group. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of other 12 high-risk HPV genotypes (not 16 and 18), was frequent in cytology with and without squamous atypia, associated or not with genotypes 16 and 18. The connection of squamous atypia with HPV 16 and HPV HR was significant. The data obtained are in agreement with the literature regarding the existence of heterogeneity in the distribution of different genotypes and their most frequent association as the level of atypia.
