2Background
- CERVICAL CANCER
- High incidence of Cervical Cancer in Brazil
- (22/100,000 women in 2005)
- Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) is a
precursor of cervical cancer and is highly
associated with HPV infection - Early Dx of CIN can prevent new cases of CC
- (Cytology, Colposcopy, Biopsy)
- LEEP (Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) has
been extensively used in Brazil
3Background
- AIDS epidemic in Brazil (up to 2005 370,000
cases) - Women
- Heterosexual transmission
- Lower income and education
- HIV Cervical cancer
- Higher incidence of CIN and CC among HIV positive
women - Evidence of higher incidence of recurrence of CIN
among HIV positive women - There is no published data in Brazil regarding
recurrence of CIN comparing HIV positive and
negative women
4Objective
- To assess factors associated with recurrence of
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia after
conization by LEEP in HIV infected and
non-infected women
5Methods
- DYNAMIC COHORT STUDY
- Population
- Public Cervical Pathology Referral Service, Belo
Horizonte, Brazil - Referred from other public primary care units or
HIV services - Screening criteria
- Abnormal cytology (Bethesda,1999)
- OR
- Normal cytology with Positive Schiller test
6Methods
- Elegibility criteria for LEEP
- Age gt 18 years old
- Informed consent
- Dx of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN)
- HSIL lesions or persistent LSIL lesions for HIV
negative women - HSIL or LSIL for HIV positive women
- Exclusions
- Pregnant women
- Other Dx Cervicitis, Invasive Cancer,
Micro-invasive Cancer
7Methods
- Recurrence of CIN
- First recurrence
- Cytology and Colposcopy
- If abnormal or normal with positive Schiller
test - Biopsy
- HSIL lesions or persistent LSIL lesions
8Methods
- Statistical analysis
- Cox Proportional Hazard Model (Univariate and
Multivariate) - Kaplan-Meier Survival Curves
- Variables of interest HIV status, Histology,
Glandular involvement, Margins, Number of sex
partners, Age, Smoking Hx, HPV, Viral Load and
CD4 Cell count.

19Conclusions
- The incidence of CIN recurrence in this
population is high. - HIV infection, positive margins and glandular
involvement are independent co-factors. - More careful follow-up of these women is
necessary, specially among HIV positive ones. - Histopathology indicates HPV infection in over
95. - However, PCR is recommended for sub-typing and is
currently under way. - Adherence to ARVT and Viral load will be further
explored among HIV positive women.
