Human papillomavirus genotype attribution for HPVs 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 in female anogenital lesions.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines can potentially control cervical cancer and help to reduce other HPV-related cancers. We aimed to estimate the relative contribution (RC) of the nine types (HPVs 16/18/31/33/45/52/58/6/11) included in the recently approved 9-valent HPV vaccine in female anogenital cancers and precancerous lesions (cervix, vulva, vagina and anus). Estimations were based on an international study designed and coordinated at the Catalan Institute of Oncology (Barcelona-Spain), including information on 10,575 invasive cervical cancer (ICC), 1709 vulvar, 408 vaginal and 329 female anal cancer cases and 587 Vulvar Intraepitelial Neoplasia grade 2/3 (VIN2/3), 189 Vaginal Intraepitelial Neoplasia grade 2/3 (VaIN2/3) and 29 Anal Intraepitelial Neoplasia grade 2/3 (AIN2/3) lesions. Consecutive histologically confirmed paraffin-embedded cases were obtained from hospital pathology archives from 48 countries worldwide. HPV DNA-detection and typing was performed by SPF10-DEIA-LiPA25 system and RC was expressed as the proportion of type-specific cases among HPV positive samples. Multiple infections were added to single infections using a proportional weighting attribution. HPV DNA prevalence was 84.9%, 28.6%, 74.3% and 90.0% for ICC, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers, respectively, and 86.7%, 95.8% and 100% for VIN2/3, VaIN2/3 and AIN2/3, respectively. RC of the combined nine HPV types was 89.5% (95% confidence interval (CI): 88.8-90.1)-ICC, 87.1% (83.8-89.9)-vulvar, 85.5% (81.0-89.2)-vaginal, 95.9% (93.0-97.9)-female anal cancer, 94.1% (91.7-96.0)-VIN2/3, 78.7% (71.7-84.2)-VaIN2/3 and 86.2% (68.3-96.1)-AIN2/3. HPV16 was the most frequent type in all lesions. Variations in the RC of HPVs 31/33/45/52/58 by cancer site were observed, ranging from 7.8% (5.0-11.4)-female anal cancer to 20.5% (16.1-25.4)-vaginal cancer. The addition of HPVs 31/33/45/52/58 to HPV types included in current vaccines (HPV16/18) could prevent almost 90% of HPV positive female anogenital lesions worldwide. Taking into account that most HPV-related cancers are ICC ones, the 9-valent HPV vaccine could potentially avoid almost 88% of all female anogenital cancers.

Risk of vulvar, vaginal and anal high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and cancer according to cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) status: A population-based prospective cohort study.

All cervical cancers and some vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers are caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV). However, little is known about the association between cervical HPV infection and subsequent intraepithelial neoplasia and cancer at other anogenital sites. In this prospective cohort study, we estimated the risk of vulvar, vaginal and anal intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 or cancer (VIN2+, VaIN2+, AIN2+) according to cervical hrHPV status. Liquid-based cervical cytology samples were collected from 40,399 women screened against cervical cancer in Copenhagen, Denmark, during 2002-2005. Samples were tested for hrHPV using Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) and genotyped using INNO-LiPA. We linked the cohort with Danish nationwide registries to identify cases of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+ during up to 15 years of follow-up. We estimated age-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) using Cox regression and cumulative incidences using Aalen-Johansen's estimator. Women with cervical HPV16 infection had increased hazard of VIN2+ (HR = 2.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-5.5), VaIN2+ (HR = 23.5; 95% CI, 6.8-81.6) and AIN2+ (HR = 3.7; 95% CI, 1.1-12.2) compared with HC2 negative women. Women with other hrHPV types than HPV16 also had increased hazard of VaIN2+ (HR = 7.1; 95% CI, 2.3-22.3) and a borderline statistically significantly increased risk of AIN2+ (HR = 2.2; 95% CI, 0.9-4.9) compared with HC2 negative women. The 10-year cumulative incidences of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+ in women with cervical HPV16 were 0.3% (95% CI, 0.2%-0.7%), 0.2% (95% CI, 0.1%-0.5%) and 0.1% (95 CI, 0.0%-0.4%). Cervical HPV16 infection is associated with increased risk of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+.

The risk of vaginal, vulvar and anal precancer and cancer according to high-risk HPV status in cervical cytology samples.

High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) is the cause of virtually all cervical cancers, most vaginal and anal cancers, and some vulvar cancer cases. With HPV testing becoming the primary screening method for cervical cancer, understanding the link between cervical hrHPV infection and the risk of other anogenital cancers is crucial. We assessed the risk of vulvar, vaginal and anal cancer and precancer (VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+) in a prospective cohort study including 455,349 women who underwent cervical hrHPV testing in Denmark from 2005 to 2020. We employed Cox proportional hazard models, adjusting for age, calendar year and HPV vaccination status, and estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). We used the Aalen Johansen estimator to calculate the absolute risks of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+. In total, 15% of the women were hrHPV positive at baseline. A positive cervical hrHPV test was associated with increased incidence of vulvar, vaginal and anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Five-year risk estimates of VIN2+, VaIN2+ and AIN2+ among hrHPV-positive women (0.45%, 0.14% and 0.12%) were higher than among hrHPV-negative women (0.14%, 0.01% and 0.05%). Particularly high risk was observed among the hrHPV-positive women of the oldest age, with a history of anogenital precancer and those not HPV vaccinated. In conclusion, our study confirms the association between cervical hrHPV infection and non-cervical anogenital precancers and cancers. Currently, no established risk threshold or guidelines for follow-up. As HPV testing becomes the primary method for cervical cancer screening, future data will help define high-risk groups and acceptable risk thresholds.
