Prevalence, Typology and Smear Cytology Results for Human Papilloma Virus (Hpv) in Women of the City of Van

Abstract

Objective: Introducing and retrospectively determining cervical HPV types and prevalence of the women in VAN in order to detect smear findings in those with HPV positive. Material and Method: Cervical HPV typology and prevalence determination of 4243 women scanned by VAN KETEM (Center for cancer early diagnosis, scanning and training) between the dates of August 2014 and July 2015; HPV-positive samples were retrospectively analyzed to determine smear results. Findings: 4243 women were scanned. Smear results of 3967 of them were HPV-negative (93.5%), 102 of them were HPV-positive (2.4%) and 174 of them were inconclusive (4.1%). Accordingly, in samples with HPV-positive, only HPV type 16 was detected in 16 people (15.69%) while 5 people (4.9%) carried only HPV type 18. There were no samples carrying HPV type 16 and 18 together however, there were 10 people carrying HPV type 16 and other types (9.8%). There were 1 sample carrying HPV 18 and other types together (0.98%).Number of samples with other HPV types (31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,68) was 70 (68.63%). When cytological examinations were made in HPV-positive samples, there were 56 nonspecific infections (54.90%), 25 LGSIL (24.51%), 0 ASC-US (0%), 4 normal smears (3.92%) and 8 cases were determined inconclusive (7.84%). Results: Cervical cytology scanning programs must become more widespread and vaccination must be scheduled with women of risk group in order to decrease precancerous lesions and cervix cancer rates. Expanded and improved studies have demonstrated the HPV subtype cervical cancer and HPV relationship in the most developed countries as like as our country. While HPV DNA identification and abnormal cytology findings are followed by KETEMs throughout the country to assist creating the cervix cancer risk map, this will enable determination of new patients and successful treatment at early stages. © 2015, Gunes Kitap Kirtasiye.
