similar management strategies were prescribed for sim-ilar levels of risk (12, 13). Guidelines cannot be devel-oped for all situations. Clinical judgment should alwaysbe applied when applying guidelines to individual pa-tients. This is especially true for guidelines based on lessrobust evidence.

In the 2006 ASCCP guidelines,(6,7) several pathwaysconcluded by returning women to ‘‘routine screening.’’ Box 2.

This term was not defined, but in 2006, screeningguidelines prescribed cytology at shorter intervals thannow recommended. Current 2011 screening guidelinesrecommend either 3-year cytology intervals or, forwomen aged 30Y(10, 11). These multi-year intervals are safe only when

64 years, 5-year co-testing intervals

risk for the development of CIN 3+ during the yearsbetween testing is low (10, 11). For example, womenaged 30Y64 years with a negative co-test have a 5-year

risk of CIN 3+ of only 8/10,000 (12). Although this lowlevel of risk can be achieved among women with nega-tive screening histories, for those with some abnormal-ities, risk for CIN 3+ remains elevated for years, evenafter treatment and even after initial negative surveil-lance. After some abnormalities, current follow-up dataare insufficient to define a pathway to return to 5-yearroutine screening intervals because even with treatment,risk does not fall to a level consistent with 5-year retesting.

Box 1. Essential Changes From Prior ManagementGuidelines*

& Cytology reported as negative but lacking endocervical cells can bemanaged without early repeat.

& CIN 1 on endocervical curettage should be managed as CIN 1, not as apositive ECC.

&&Cytology reported as unsatisfactory requires repeat even if HPV negative.Genotyping triages HPV-positive women with HPV type 16 or type18 to earlier colposcopy only after negative cytology; colposcopy isindicated for all women with HPV and ASC-US, regardless ofgenotyping result.

& For ASC-US cytology, immediate colposcopy is not an option. The serialcytology option for ASC-US incorporates cytology at 12 months, not6 months and 12 months, and then if negative, cytology every 3 years.

& HPV-negative and ASC-US results should be followed with co-testing at3 years rather than 5 years.

& HPV-negative and ASC-US results are insufficient to allow exit fromscreening at age 65 years.

& The pathway to long-term follow-up of treated and untreated CIN 2+is more clearly defined by incorporating co-testing.

&More strategies incorporate co-testing to reduce follow-up visits. Pap-onlystrategies are now limited to women younger than 30 years, butco-testing is expanded even to women younger than 30 years in somecircumstances. Women aged 21-24 years are managed conservatively.

*Prior management guidelines were from the ‘‘2006 Consensus Guidelines for theManagement of Women With Abnormal Cervical Screening Tests’’ (6). Prior guidelinesnot changed were retained.

A recent consensus conference (the Lower Anogenital SquamousTerminology [LAST] Project convened by the College of AmericanPathologists and the American Society for Colposcopy and CervicalPathology) adopted a two-tier terminology that incorporates ancillarytests and other criteria to distinguish indeterminate lesions as high gradeor low grade. Until a comprehensive evidence review and consensusguidelines development process can be conducted, histopathologyresults reported as low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL)should be managed as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 andthose reported as high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL) should be managed as CIN 2,3 (14).

(oncogenic)HPV types. Testing for low-risk (nononcogenic)HPV types has no role in the evaluation of women withabnormal cervical cytologic results.

Both ablation and excision effectively treat CIN.Randomized trials comparing different modalities showsimilar efficacy (17Yto 95%, and most failures occur within 2 years (21),

20). Efficacy rates range from 90%

although cancers can develop up to 20 years aftertreatment (22). Margin status is a convenient predictorof recurrence and a traditional risk marker, although itdoes not appear to be an independent risk factor (23,24). Nonsurgical therapies, including topical agents andtherapeutic vaccines, remain investigational.

(27Y29). Although not proven, this is presumed to re-sult from deficient cervical stroma, and risk appears toincrease with the volume and number of excisions (30).However, many studies were done in countries whereloop excisions are performed with larger loop sizes anddeeper excisions than most U.S. clinicians employ.Studies linking ablative treatments to preterm deliveryare even more limited and conflicting. Women withCIN may be at increased risk for preterm delivery evenwhen untreated. Nevertheless, because pregnancycomplications can be devastating, the potential benefitsof treatment should be balanced against the risk to

future pregnancies. Young women have high regressionrates for cervical disease and low cancer risk (31Y33).The term ‘‘young women’’ indicates those who aftercounseling by their clinicians consider risk to futurep r e g n a n c i e s f r o m t r e a t i n g cervical abnormalities tooutweigh risk for cancer during observation of thoseabnormalities. No specific age threshold is intended.

In 2006, guidelines recommended less aggressive ma nagem entforadol escentswith cerv icalabnormalitie s (6, 34),butthe searenowmoo tbec ausethe2011 sc reeni ngguidelin esrecommend nots creeningadoles- ce nts(1 0,11).Dele gatestothe2 012c onsensusconfer- en cecon sideredles sintensivem anag ementforother yo ungwo menwithabn ormalcytolo gy.C ervicalcancer ri skrem ainslowthr oughage25ye ars( 35),HPVis common(36), and lesionsofte nreg ress(37) .Theannual incide nceo fce rvica lca nce ramo ngU.S.w ome naged

24 years is 1.4/100,000, and almost 55,000 cytologytests must be obtained for every cervical cancer diag-nosed in this age group (35). This level of risk is 10-foldhigher than risk in adolescents and appears to be highenough to justify screening yet is low enough to allowobservation for minor cytologic abnormalities. Guide-lines for women aged 21Y24 years can be extrapolatedto adolescents inadvertently screened.

Now that most U.S. cytology isdone using liquid-based media, which can control formost obscuring factors in processing, unsatisfactory re-sults arise largely from insufficient squamous cells (46).Evidence is sparse governingmanagement of womenwithunsatisfactory cytology obtained as part of co-testing,although risk for high-grade disease in women withnegative HPV tests appears to be low (47). Unsatisfactoryresults arise largely from insufficient squamous cells (48).Some currently available HPV tests lack a control forepithelial cellularity, so a negative HPV test cannot berelied, upon as the HPV test may be falsely negative be-cause of an insufficient sample.

For women aged 30 years and older who are co-testedand have unsatisfactory cytology and a positive HPVtest, repeat cytology in 2Y4 months or colposcopy isacceptable (BII). Colposcopy is recommended for womenwith two consecutive unsatisfactory cytology tests (CIII).

HPV testing appears to be independentof transformation zone sampling (55) and offers anadded margin of safety for women aged 30Y64 yearsnow that co-testing is the preferred screening strategyfor that age group. An absent EC/TZ component is notassociated with an increased incidence of cervical dis-ease after treatment of CIN 2+ (56).

Negative Cytology With a Positive HPV Test

Although not indicated for younger women, co-testing isthe preferred screening strategy for women aged 30Y64years (10). Despite negative cytology, women with on-cogenic HPV are at higher risk for later CIN 3+ thanwomen with negative HPV tests (57). The risk of CIN 3+in HPV positive but cytology negative women is suffi-cient to justify early return for retesting. Persistent HPVpositivity increases risk still further (58, 59). However,most HPV infections are cleared, substantially reduc-ing risk of CIN 3+ (60), so observing women to allowclearance is attractive. Nevertheless, CIN 3+ does occurduring observation, requiring guidelines to balance risksarising from intervention for HPV that may yet be clearedagainst the risks of disease. This is true even for womenwith HPV infections but negative cytology. In the KPNCcohort, the CIN 3+ risk for every co-test result obtainedafter an initial HPV-positive but cytology-negative resultwas higher than risk associated with that co-test result inwomen with prior negative screening (58).

5-year risk of CIN 3+ after ASC-US among women aged30 years and older in the KPNC cohort was lower thanthe 2-year risk seen in ALTS. In fact, risk was low enoughto justify annual rather than semiannual cytology assufficiently sensitive to identify women with CIN 3+ (61).

If reflex HPV testing isperformed with ASC-US and the HPV result is positive,repeat cytology in 12 months is recommended (BII).Immediate colposcopy or repeat HPV testing is notrecommended. If reflex HPV testing is performed and isnegative, return for routine screening with cytologyalone in 3 years is recommended (BII).

The ASCUS-LSIL Triage Study showed that the naturalhistory of LSIL approximates that of HPV-positive ASC-US (64), suggesting that women with either should bemanaged similarly. Analysis of the KPNC dataset con-firmed that women with LSIL at ages 21Ya lower risk of CIN 3+ than older women (33, 65). Low-

24 years carry

grade squamous intraepithelial lesions are highly asso-ciated with HPV infection, with a pooled estimate ofHPV positivity of 77% (66). This rate appears toohigh to allow reflex HPV testing to select women forcolposcopy efficiently. However, when co-testing is per-formed in women 30 years of age and older, some womenhave HPV-negative LSIL. In the KPNC cohort, the riskof CIN 3+ in HPV-negative women with LSIL was low,similar to that of ASC-US alone (67).

LSIL (68, 69), although risk is lower than that followingHSIL. This is also true for women aged 21Yalthough their risk of CIN 3+ is lower than that for older

24 years,

women with ASC-H (33). The high rate of HPV detec-tion in women with ASC-H makes reflex HPV testingunsuitable (3). In addition, the 5-year cancer risk amongwomen with HPV-negative ASC-H is 2%, which is toohigh to justify observation (68).

Management of Women With ASC-H (Fig. 8). Forwomenwith ASC-H cytology, colposcopy is recommendedregardless of HPV result. Reflex HPV testing is notrecommended (DII).

ASC-H in Special Populations

YWomen Aged 2124 Years (Fig. 9)

Colposcopy is recommended (AII). Further managementshould follow guidelines for women aged 2124 yearsYwith HSIL.

High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL)

HSIL cytology results identify women at substantial risk.CIN 2+ is found at colposcopy in some 60% of womenwith HSIL (69Ythe transformation zone for many women, especially

71). This justifies immediate excision of

those who are at risk for loss to follow-up or who havecompleted childbearing. Cervical cancer is found at

colposcopy in some 2% of women with HSIL, althoughrisk rises with age and is low among women aged 21Y24years, even with follow-up (33). Five-year cervical can-cer risk is 8% among women 30 years of age and older(72). Risks are modified by HPV test results: HPV-negative HSIL co-test results, although uncommon, stillcarry a 5-year risk for CIN 3+ of 29%, while 7% willdevelop cancer (72). This precludes reflex HPV triagefor HSIL. In the KPNC cohort, among women 30 yearsof age and older with HPV-positive HSIL, the 5-year riskof CIN 3+ was 50%, while the 5-year cancer risk was7% (72). When HPV results are known from co-testingfor women with HSIL, these risks may inform the choicebetween immediate diagnostic excision and colposcopyand between diagnostic excision and cytologic and col-poscopic surveillance when CIN 2+ is not identified. Thesensitivity of colposcopy for detecting CIN 2+ is lowerthan previously appreciated (73Y75), and multiple bi-opsies should be considered at colposcopy when largeconfluent or multiple discrete lesions are seen.

Management of Women With HSIL (Fig. 10). Forwomen with HSIL cytology, immediate loop electro-surgical excision or colposcopy is acceptable, except inspecial populations (BII). Triage using either a programof repeat cytology alone or reflex HPV testing is unac-ceptable (EII). For women not managed with immediateexcision, colposcopy is recommended regardless of HPV

appellation, AGC cytology is most commonly associ-ated with squamous lesions including CIN 1. However,glandular and squamous lesions often coexist, withCIN found in approximately half of women with AIS(79Y81), so identification of CIN does not preclude AISor adenocarcinoma. Although cervical adenocarcino-ma is HPV associated and can be detected with HPVtesting, endometrial cancer is not, so reflex HPV testingdoes not identify a subgroup of women who need lessinvasive assessment. A negative HPV test can be usefulin identifying women at greater risk for endometrialrather than cervical disease (80). Endometrial cancerrisk is low in young women without endometrial cancerrisk factors but is substantially greater in older womenand young women with risk factors.

Endometrial sampling isrecommended in conjunction with colposcopy and en-docervical sampling in women 35 years of age and olderwith all subcategories of AGC and AIS (BII). Endome-trial sampling is also recommended for women youngerthan 35 years with clinical indications suggesting theymay be at risk for endometrial neoplasia (BII). Theseinclude unexplained vaginal bleeding or conditions sug-gesting chronic anovulation. For women with atypicalendometrial cells, initial evaluation limited to endome-trial and endocervical sampling is preferred, with col-poscopy acceptable either at the initial evaluation ordeferred until the results of endometrial and endocervicalsampling are known; if colposcopy is deferred and noendometrial pathology is identified, colposcopy is thenrecommended (AII).

For women aged

repeat cytology at 12-month intervals is recommended.

Follow-up with HPV testing is unacceptable (EII). Forwomen with ASC-H or HSIL+ at the 12-month followup, colposcopy is recommended. For women with ASC-US or worse at the 24 month follow up, colposcopy isrecommended. After two consecutive negative tests,routine screening is recommended. (BII)

For women aged 21Yor HSIL cytology, observation for up to 24 months using

24 years with CIN 1 after ASC-H

both colposcopy and cytology at 6-month intervals isrecommended, provided the colposcopic examination isadequate and endocervical assessment is negative (BIII). IfCIN 2, CIN 3, or CIN 2,3 is identified histologically,management should follow the guideline for the man-agement of young women with CIN 2, CIN 3, or CIN 2,3(BIII, see ‘‘Management of Women With CIN 2, CIN 3,and CIN 2,3’’). If during follow-up a high-gradecolposcopic lesion is identified or HSIL cytology persistsfor 1 year, biopsy is recommended (BIII). If HSIL persistsfor 24 months without identification of CIN 2+, a diag-nostic excisional procedure is recommended (BIII). Whencolposcopy is inadequate or CIN 2, CIN 3, CIN 2,3 orungraded CIN is identifiedon endocervical sampling,adiagnosticexcisionprocedure is recommended (BII).

Regardless of antecedent cytology, treatment of CIN 1in women aged 21Y24 years is not recommended (BII).

The objective of screening during pregnancy is to iden-tify cervical cancer. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3

does not pose a risk to the pregnancy and poses no im-mediate risk to the mother. Treatment during pregnancycarries substantial risk for hemorrhage and pregnancy loss.

when excision margins are negative (91Y3). Like marginstatus, endocervical sampling at the time of an excisionalprocedure also predicts residual disease (94). Moreover,a negative HPV test after treatment identifies women atlow risk for persistent or recurrent AIS (94). In 2001,knife conization was favored over loop excision becausemargin status and the interpretability of margins arecritical to future treatment planning. In 2006, wordingwas changed to allow diagnostic excision using any mo-dality, but care must be taken to keep the specimen intactand margins interpretable, avoiding fragmentation of thespecimen, including ‘‘top-hat’’ serial endocervical exci-sions. This may require use of larger loops than thoseemployed to excise visible squamous lesions.

(BIII). Conservative management is acceptable if futurefertility is desired (AII). If conservative management isplanned and the margins of the specimen are involved orendocervical sampling obtained at the time of excisioncontains CIN or AIS, reexcision to increase the likelihoodof complete excision is preferred. Reevaluation at 6months using a combination of co-testing and colposcopywith endocervical sampling is acceptable in this cir-cumstance. Long-term follow-up is recommended forwomen who do not undergo hysterectomy (CIII).

The effect of HPV vaccination on large cohorts overlong periods of follow-up remains to be studied, andwhether prior HPV vaccination alters natural history ormanagement of cytologic or histologic abnormalitiesremains unknown. Prospective study of the negativeconsequences of screening, diagnosis, and treatment areneeded to allow balancing of risks and benefits.
