Cervical Cancer
Latest data on cervical cancer incidence and mortality (GLOBOCAN 2008, IARC*): Globally 529,512 cases diagnosed per year:
– 86% of all cases (n=453,032) in developing world
Globally 274,967 deaths:– 88% of all deaths (n=241,818) in developing world
Mortality to incidence ratio: Developed countries: 36–43% Developing countries: 54–80%

HIV and Cervical Cancer
Studies have shown that among HIV-positive women, there is a consistently higher incidence of: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection Persistent HPV infection with high-risk types Infection with multiple types of HPV Cervical cancer precursors (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [CIN] or
squamous intraepithelial lesion [SIL]) Cervical dysplasia tends to involve a larger area of the cervix in the
setting of HIV infection Cancer registry linkage studies have shown significant increase in
cervical cancer, particularly where women live longer due to access to ART

Alternatives to Cytology: Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA)
Meta-analysis of 26 studies (Int J Gynecol Obstet 2011;113:14) in which VIA was performed on asymptomatic women who underwent confirmatory testing with a disease threshold of CIN 2 plus reported: Sensitivity of 80% (range 79–82%) Specificity of 92% (range 91–92%) Positive predictive value of 10%
Cluster-randomized trial in India (Lancet 2007;370:398): 31,343 screened with VIA vs. 30,958 controls, 30–59 years old, 7-year follow-up VIA-positive received colposcopy/biopsy and cryotherapy at same visit with colposcopy
impression low-grade SIL/high-grade SIL VIA associated with 24% reduction in cervical cancer (Stage II or worse) incidence and 35%
reduction in cervical cancer mortality Safe, feasible and acceptable in multiple studies Can be done by trained nurses/midwives Inexpensive Allows treatment at same visit

Alternatives To Cytology: HPV Testing
Cluster randomized trial in India 4 arms: HPV (hybrid capture), VIA, cytology, standard of
care (no screening); >2,700 women 30–59 years in each arm with 8-year follow-up
Positive results: colposcopy/biopsy, treatment (cryotherapy or loop electrosurgical excision procedure [LEEP])
HPV testing associated with approximately 50% reduction in detection of advanced cervical cancer and cervical cancer deaths vs controls; no significant difference for VIA, cytology

Initial Results from a Multi-Country Cervical Cancer Screening Program for HIV-Infected Women
Summary of study: VIA/SVA for cervical cancer prevention in Côte d’Ivoire (n=7,538),
Guyana (n=19,934) and Tanzania (n=7,449) Services provided by trained nurses/midwives at HIV care and treatment
sites and general health facilities Key results:
In all 3 countries, HIV-positive women were more likely to be VIA-positive than HIV-negative/unknown women
In all 3 countries, HIV-positive women who were VIA-positive were more likely to have large lesions (occupying >75% cervix) and therefore ineligible for cryotherapy
85% of eligible women had same-day treatment with cryotherapy; of those who postponed, 48% did not return for treatment

Lessons Learned
Promote country ownership Implement sustainable, organized screening for scale-up Conduct monitoring and assessment Build capacity Maintain quality of care
14
Research Priorities
What are the optimal screening strategies for cervical cancer precursors in setting of HIV? Potential role of self-collection Role of HPV-DNA testing
What are the optimal treatment methods for cervical cancer precursors in setting of HIV?
Does screening or treatment effectiveness vary by CD4/CD4 nadir or ART status?
What are the determinants of recurrence and what are best strategies to identify recurrences?
15
Research Priorities (cont.)
How can recurrences be prevented? What is the role of male circumcision in cervical cancer
prevention (and programmatic implications)? What are effects of treatment (cryotherapy vs. LEEP,
others?) on HIV shedding and what are the determinants?
What are the most effective strategies to incorporate cervical screening and treatment into HIV care? Models of integration Systems issues Quality control: training, pathology, etc.

Summary
Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in limited-resource countries
HIV infection is associated with higher incidence of cervical cancer and its precursors and this association persists in the era of effective ART
Alternatives to cytology, such as VIA, are critical to ensure adequate coverage and appropriate interventions for cervical cancer screening and prevention in the setting of HIV, but several key research questions remain
