Summary: | This study aims to assess the immediate risk of cervical precancers and cancers in women with atypical glandular cells (AGC) cytology, based on high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) genotypes and age.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 369 cases of AGC with immediate follow-up biopsy results, including 299 AGC-not otherwise specified (NOS) and 70 AGC-favor neoplastic (FN).
Among the 369 AGC cases, 127 tested positive for hrHPV (34.4%). The predominant high-risk type was other 11 genotypes (44.1%), followed by 16+ (29.1%), 18/45+ (26.0%), and 16 and 18/45 double-positive (0.79%). Precancers and cancers were detected in 30.4% (112 of 369) and 9.8% (36 of 369) of cases, respectively. The HPV-18/45+ group had notably higher adenocarcinoma in situ and adenocarcinoma (AIS+) prevalence compared to other 11 genotype groups (p < .0001 and p = .001, respectively). The HPV-16+ group showed significantly higher high-grade cervical squamous epithelial lesion and squamous cell carcinoma prevalence than other 11 genotype groups (p < .0001 and p = .017, respectively). Using 40-year cutoff, older women had significantly higher prevalence of abnormal glandular lesion+ lesions (17.6% vs. 7.6%, p = .005) and adenocarcinoma (AC) (12.4% vs. 2.5%, p = .001). Using 50-year cutoff, older women had higher prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (3.3% vs. 0.4%, p = .042) and AC (15.2% vs. 5.8%, p = .005). Subgroup analysis revealed that AGC-FN women showed more severe cervical pathology than AGC-NOS women (p < .001).
AGC women have a significantly increased risk of cervical precancerous lesions and cancer. HPV genotyping and patient age factors need to be taken into consideration in the clinical management process of AGC patients. |
