Abstract
Objective Although cervical conization is considered a standard treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3, laser ablation can compensate for the disadvantages of the former. CO2, semiconductor, and holmium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) lasers are applied in ablation, but no previous studies have shown the effectiveness of any of these techniques. Here, we retrospectively analyzed the application of the Ho:YAG laser in our hospital to verify its efficacy, and discussed the methods for optimal recurrence detection. Methods We evaluated the recurrence rates of the pathological condition in patients who underwent laser ablation with a Ho:YAG laser for CIN2/3 at our institution from June 2012 to November 2021. We defined the recurrence as histologically confirmed CIN2 or more advanced stage. Age, preoperative diagnosis, human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype, and postoperative high-risk HPV status were recorded to establish their association with recurrence rates. Results We performed surgery in 607 patients and the 2-year recurrence rate after interventions was 5.6%. Five patients were diagnosed with invasive cancer at the time of recurrence. Older age significantly correlated with higher risk of recurrence, but preoperative CIN grade and preoperative HPV 16/18 status did not significantly affect it. The postoperative high-risk HPV test was 100% sensitive for detecting recurrence. Conclusions Laser ablation with the Ho:YAG laser yields promising results. Together with postinterventional management, high-risk HPV test after laser ablation should be conducted after diagnostic conization.This study received the approval from the Ethics Committee of the NHO Tokyo Medical Center (Ethics Committee approval number: R22-067).

Prognostic outcomes and risk factors for recurrence after laser vaporization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: a single-center retrospective study. Int J Clin Oncol 2021; 26:770-776. [PMID: 33394202 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-020-01848-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a precancerous lesion that may progress to invasive cervical cancer without intervention. We aim to examine the prognostic outcomes and risk factors for recurrence after laser vaporization for CIN 3, CIN 2 with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and CIN 1 persisting for more than 2 years. METHODS Between 2008 and 2016, a total of 1070 patients underwent cervical laser vaporization using a carbon dioxide laser. We performed a retrospective review of their medical records to assess their clinical characteristics, pathologic factors, and prognostic outcomes. RESULTS The mean patient age was 34 years (range 18-64 years). The preoperative diagnosis was CIN 1 in 27 patients, CIN 2 in 485 patients, and CIN 3 in 558 patients. Over a median follow-up period of 15 months, the 2-year recurrence rate was 18.9%, and the 5-year recurrence rate was 46.5%. The 2-year retreatment rate was 12.6%, and the 5-year retreatment rate was 30.5%. We diagnosed 9 patients with invasive cancer after treatment; all patients underwent combined multidisciplinary treatment, and there were no deaths during follow-up. The recurrence-free interval was correlated with patient age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.028; 95% CI 1.005-1.051; P = 0.0167), body mass index (HR, 1.052; 95% CI 1.008-1.098; P = 0.0191), and glandular involvement (HR, 1.962; 95% CI 1.353-2.846; P = 0.0004). CONCLUSIONS Cervical laser vaporization is effective and useful for patients with CIN who wish to preserve fertility. However, patients with glandular involvement, older age, and higher body weight require close follow-up for recurrence.

Risk of Cervical Dysplasia After Colposcopy Care and Risk-Informed Return to Population-Based Screening: A Systematic Review. JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY CANADA 2019; 42:607-624. [PMID: 31679914 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogc.2019.05.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2019] [Revised: 05/21/2019] [Accepted: 05/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
This systematic review examined the risk of cervical dysplasia among women who have undergone a colposcopy episode of care to inform their return to population-based cervical screening. PubMed, Embase, and grey literature were searched between January 2000 and 2018. One reviewer screened citations against pre-defined eligibility criteria. A second reviewer verified 10% and 100% of exclusions at title and abstract and at full-text screening, respectively. One reviewer extracted data and assessed methodological quality of included articles; a second reviewer verified these in full. The primary outcome was incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or greater (CIN2+) subsequent to initial colposcopy evaluation. Secondary outcomes included incidence of CIN2+ after negative follow-up test results and performance of follow-up strategies. Results were synthesized narratively. A total of 48 studies were included. The 1- to 5-year CIN2+ risks after colposcopy evaluation ranged from 2.4% to 16.5% among women treated for CIN2+ and from 0.7% to 16.8% among women untreated for CIN grade 1 or less (≤CIN1). Follow-up strategies included single or repeat cytology, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, or combined HPV/cytology co-testing at various intervals. After negative follow-up test results, risk varied by follow-up strategy for both groups and by referral cytology severity for untreated women. Performance of follow-up strategies varied among treated women. Among untreated women, co-testing demonstrated greater sensitivity than cytology alone. In conclusion, women treated during colposcopy for CIN2+ and women with ≤CIN1 who were referred to colposcopy for low-grade cytology and who did not receive treatment may be able to return to population-based screening after negative co-testing results. Current evidence does not suggest that women untreated for ≤CIN1 who are referred for high-grade cytology be returned to screening at an average risk interval. The optimal strategy for colposcopy discharge needs ongoing evaluation as implementation of HPV testing evolves.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated outcomes of laser vaporization of the cervix for women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)-3. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 161 consecutive patients with CIN3 who were treated with cervical laser vaporization between January 2008 and December 2012. At each follow-up visit, histologically confirmed CIN2, CIN3 and invasive carcinoma were defined as treatment failures, as were high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or atypical squamous cells that cannot exclude HSIL with subsequent treatment or lost to follow-up. Primary endpoints included long-term follow-up (at least 5 years of regular hospital visits) and treatment failure rate. Treatment failure rates were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Patients' median age was 31 years old. Median follow-up period was 67 months (interquartile range: 52-74 months). Over 5 years, 70.8% continued their follow-up visits, but significantly more patients aged ≥35 years did so (86.4%) than did those aged ≤34 years (61.8%, P = 0.0009). Treatment failure was observed in 14 (8.7%) patients, 1 of whom progressed to invasive cancer (0.6%). Cumulative treatment failure rates were 1-year: 5.1%, 2-year: 6.4% and 5-year: 9.5%. Among patients who suffered treatment failures, 57.1% initial failures occurred within the first year and 71.4% within the first 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Long-term oncologic outcomes of cervical vaporization in CIN3 remain at a suboptimal level. The importance of a minimum of 5 years of regular hospital visits should be emphasized to patients with CIN3 who are candidates for cervical laser vaporization, especially those aged ≤34 years.
