epithelium contains glycogen, and stains mahogany brown after application of iodine solution.Normalcolumnarepitheliumandimmaturesquamousmetaplasticorneoplastic epithelium do not contain glycogen, are not stained by iodine solution, and appear mustardyellow.Iodinesolutionapplicationisnotuniformlyperformedbutisinvaluable in the assessment of the vaginal mucosa. It will assist in determining if there is any vaginalextensionoftheTZandifseparatevaginallesionsarepresent.
DelineatingtheMarginsoftheLesion
Afterthesourceofabnormalcellsinacervicalsmearhas beenlocated, theperipheral and distalmarginsofthelesionshouldbedetermined.
DistalMargin
Thedistalorperipheralmarginofthelesionisusuallyreadilyidentified.Theuppervagina should be assessed to avoid missing extension of CIN or isolated vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia(VAIN)lesions.Whencytologypredictsasquamousabnormalityandthereis
nocolposcopicallyvisiblecervicallesion,carefulcolposcopicexaminationofthevagina withaceticacidandLugolIodineshouldbeperformedtoexcludeVAIN.
ProximalMargin
Delineation of the proximal or upper margin of the lesion requires the colposcopic visualization of the new squamocolumnar junction. Failure accurately to delineate the position of the new squamocolumnar junction represents one of the most common colposcopictriageerrors.Anendocervicalspeculummaybehelpfuliftheproximalmarginis withinthecanal.
EndocervicalCurettage
Endocervicalcurettageisperformedtoexcludeanoccultcancerinthecanal(152).Cervical AIS and invasive adenocarcinoma may be associated with squamous CIN lesions and endocervicalcurettagemayprovideasafeguardagainstmissingsuchlesions.
Routine performance of endocervical curettage is controversial. ECC has a high sensitivityinthediagnosisofendocervicalprecancerouslesionsandcancer(153)butthereis a lack of evidence to support routine use in colposcopy practice. When the entire new
squamocolumnar junction can be visualized, it is reasonable to omit endocervical curettage. Anegative endocervical curettage from a patient with an abnormal high-grade
cytologyandanunsatisfactorycolposcopydoesnotexcludeoccultendocervicalcancer,and excisionalcone biopsy remains mandatory. When specifically indicated, collection of an
endocervicalsample using acytobrushmaybe a moresensitive sampling devicethan endocervical curettage for endocervical squamous and glandular disease (154157).
Specificitymaybedecreased.
ColposcopicallyDirectedCervicalBiopsy
Cervicalbiopsiesshouldbedirectedtothemostsignificantlesions.Multi-quadrantlesions may require multiple biopsies. With larger lesions, the most severe abnormality will be
morecentrallyplacedconsistentwiththe“molecularswitch”modelforprogressiontohigh­gradedisease.Takingmorethanonebiopsywilldetectmorehigh-gradedisease.Themost
reliable method of ensuring the accuracy of targeted biopsies is to grade lesions by deriving a colposcopic score. Cervical biopsies should be taken with the aid of the
colposcope. The colposcopic grading score of the lesions and the biopsy sites should be recorded.Anyareasuspiciousforoccultinvasionmustbecarefullysampled.
DocumentationofColposcopicFindings
Thecolposcopicfindingsshouldbedocumented.Itisusefultokeepanannotateddiagramof the cervix and vagina. Photo-documentation using digitally captured images can be extremely valuable. A system for recording patient information, laboratory results, management plan, and tracking log should be established and maintained to ensure appropriatepatientcareandfollow-up.Moderncomputerizedsystemsprovideformany
oftheseneeds.
TheAbnormalTransformationZone
IftheTZisdeviatedalonganeoplasticpathway,epithelialandvascularalterationsproduce thecharacteristicmorphologicappearancesoftheabnormalTZ(158).Thecolposcopicsigns oftheabnormalTZaredescribedaboveinTable8.6.
Squamous metaplasia, repair and regeneration, inflammation, and infection may all produceabnormalcolposcopicTZfindings, suchas acetowhiteepitheliumandabnormal vessels.Significantchangesinthehormonalmilieusuchasaccompanypregnancy,oral contraceptive pill use, estrogen withdrawal, and estrogen replacement can produce abnormal colposcopic signs in the absence of cervical disease. Atypical vessels,
consideredoneofthecolposcopichallmarksofinvasivecancer,canoccurinassociationwith benign conditions, including immature metaplasia, nabothian follicles, inflammation, radiationtreatment,andgranulationtissue.
ColposcopicGradingSystems
Thebasisofcolposcopicdecisionmakingistheprocessofcytologic–colposcopic–histologic correlation, with each component affording certain safeguards. There are four basic
colposcopic diagnoses: (i) normal, (ii) low-grade disease (HPV infection/CIN 1), (iii) high-gradedisease (CIN 2or3), and (iv)invasivecancer. Colposcopic grading systems
have been developed to provide an objective, accurate, reproducible, and clinically meaningful prediction of the severity of CIN lesions based on discriminatory analysis of
specificcolposcopicsigns(124,159,160).
Routine determination of a colposcopic diagnosis has permitted quality-control measures to be implemented in colposcopy (150,161). In colposcopic quality-control
programs, the colposcopist is required to achieve at least an 80% accuracy rate in colposcopic–histologiccorrelationorreceiveremedialtraining.
The Reid Colposcopic Index represents the most reproducible and clinically valid meansofstandardizingtheevaluationofcervicallesions(Table8.8).InarecentASCCP
survey,36%ofhigh-volumecolposcopistsusedtheReidIndextogenerateanddocumentthe colposcopicimpression(150).Anothercolposcopicindex,theSwedeIndex(160),basedon, but modifying the Reid Index, has also been demonstrated to produce a high level of colposcopic–histologiccorrelation(162,163)(Table8.9).
ReidColposcopicIndex
TheReidColposcopicIndexusesfourcolposcopicfeaturesofpremalignantcervicallesions to achieve predictive accuracy (Table 8.8). The colposcopic index permits accurate differentiation of low-grade from high-grade disease. It is not designed to differentiate premalignantfrommalignantcervicalneoplasia.Thefourcolposcopiccriteriausedare(i)
themarginofthelesion;(ii)thecolorofthe acetowhitening;(iii) thetypeofvascular pattern,and(iv)theiodinestainingreaction.
The four colposcopic signs are scored individually and sequentially. The value of these colposcopicsignsismaximizedbycombiningthemintoaweightedscoringsystem.Scores of0,1,or2areassignedforeachcriterion.Thefourscoresareadded,andthetotalscoreis reportedasaratio,thedenominatorofwhichisconstantat8.Scoresof0to2arepredictive
oflow-gradelesions (HPVinfection/CIN1; Fig. 8.11).Scores of 6 to 8 usually denote high-gradelesions (CIN 2 to 3; Fig. 8.12). Scores of 3 to 5 represent an area of overlap betweenlow-andhigh-gradelesions.Theoverallpredictiveaccuracyoftheindexexceeds 90% after a short training period. The colposcopic index permits a significantly more
accurate colposcopic–histologic agreement than can be achieved by less systematic approaches.

SwedeColposcopicIndex
The Swede Colposcopic Index (developed by Strander et al. from Sweden) (160) is largelyderivedfromtheReidIndex,althoughthedescriptivetermsforcolorafterapplication of acetic acid, margins of the lesion, and appearance after application of iodine are less accurate. This scoring system adds lesion size as a further independent variable predictiveofdiseaseseverity(Table8.9).TheimplicationoftheSwedeIndexisthatlarge low-grade lesions may harbor foci of evolving high-grade disease and that size of a low­grade lesion may be a predictor of risk of undetected high-grade disease. This will be determinedby thelocation of thelesion. Largelow-grade lesionsoutside theTZor within alreadymaturesquamousmetaplasiawillrarelybehighgrade.

Figure 8.12 Colposcopy of high-grade cervical lesion showing dense acetowhite

A large low-grade lesion within a large, immature TZ is very difficult to interpret colposcopicallyandmultiplebiopsieswillfrequentlydetectfocalareasofevolvinghigh­gradedisease.Thisisacommonsourceofthediscrepancybetweencolposcopicprediction
andultimatediseaseseverity.AccurateuseoftheReidIndexwilloftenpredictthisevolving severity—thevesselpatternscorewilloftenbehighgradereflectingthelocationofthelesion withinimmature metaplasiaand nonstainingwithiodine willalso be scoredas highgrade.
Theadditionofsizeoflesionasanindependentpredictorofdiseaseseverityislikelyto beofvalue.Thesuggestionbytheauthorsthatcolposcopicscoringcouldbeusedtoavoid
biopsyforlowscoringlesionsshouldbeinterpretedwithcaution.
ColposcopicWarningSignsofInvasiveCancer
Although most invasive cancers are clinically apparent and do not require colposcopy for identification,early invasivelesionsmay beclinically occult. Exclusionof invasivecancer demands both a high index of suspicion and knowledge of warning signs. Colposcopic warningsignsareshowninTable8.10.
Otherwarningsignsforinvasivecancerinclude:
1. Anycytologicevidenceofpossiblesquamouscarcinoma,adenocarcinoma,orAISor

HumanPapillomavirusesandCervicalNeoplasia
Extensive molecular biologic and epidemiologic research has confirmed certain HPV types to be carcinogenic in humans (13,73,74,77,164171). The four major steps in the
developmentofcervicalcancer are (i) infection of the metaplastic epithelium of the TZ withoneormorecarcinogenicHPVtypes;(ii)viralpersistencerather thanclearance; (iii) progression of persistently infected epithelium to cervical precancer (CIN 3) (potentially reflecting the host immune response and/or exposure to the confirmed cofactors for HPV progression which include multiparity, age at first full-term pregnancy, use of oral contraceptivesandcurrenttobaccoexposure)(55,172175);and(iv)invasion.
TaxonomyandBiology
Papillomaviruses are small, nonenveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses encased in a 72­sided icosahedral protein capsid. The HPV genome consists of circular, double-stranded DNAof approximately7,900nucleotidebasepairs.Papillomavirusesareadivergentgroup of evolutionarily related viruses with similar biologic characteristics but enormous differencesinspeciesspecificity,siteofpredilectionandoncogenicpotential(176,177).
Morethan 100 types of HPVhave been fully sequenced. HPVtypes are divided into
phylogenetictrees,basedontheirDNAsequenceandproteinhomologies.Thisassistsin understandingHPVclassification and behavior(178). The oncogenic HPV types infect
the epithelium of the anogenital and oral tracts and are generally acquired through sexual contact.
Genetic sequencing has defined clades of viruses, which produce similar pathology (102). Virusesofcladesalpha-7andalpha-9aremostcommonlyassociatedwithanogenitalcancers andHPV16inparticular(analpha-9species)appearstobea“uniquelypowerfulhuman
carcinogen”(106),which is implicated in approximately50% ofcervical cancers and themajorityofHPV-relatedcancersatotheranogenitalandoropharyngealsites.
TheHPV genome isusuallymaintained as a stableviralepisome, independent of thehost cellgenome,inthenucleusofinfectedcells(Fig.8.13).Itcodesforonlyeightgenes(179). Insomehigh-gradeCINlesions,andmorefrequentlyincervicalcancer,HPVgenomesare covalentlybondedorintegratedintothehostchromosomes(180185).Thisintegrationevent involves the E1 and E2 genes, with important consequences for regulation of viral gene expression(186). Thelategenes, L1and L2, the sequencesofwhich are highly conserved amongallpapillomaviruses,encodethecommoncapsidproteins.Theseviralproteinsreflect late viral gene expression and are exclusively present in well-differentiated keratinocytes (187).Bothproteinsplayanimportantroleinmediatingefficientvirusinfectivity.
Figure8.13 TheHPVgenomeanditsexpressionwithintheepithelium.TheHPVgenome consistsof approximately 8,000 base pairs of single-stranded, circular DNA.HPV genes are designatedasEorLaccording to their expressioninearlyorlatedifferentiationstageofthe epithelium:E1,E2, E5,E6,andE7areexpressedearlyinthedifferentiation,E4isexpressed throughout, and L1 and L2 are expressed during the final stages of differentiation. The viral genomeismaintainedatthebasallayeroftheepithelium,whereHPVinfectionisestablished. Earlyproteinsareexpressedatlowlevelsforgenomemaintenance(raisingthepossibilityofa latentstate)andcellproliferation.Asthe basal epithelial cells differentiate,thevirallifecycle enters successive stages of genome amplification, virus assembly and virus release, with a concomitantshiftinexpression patterns fromearlygenestolategenes,including L1andL2, whichassembleintoviralcapsid.(ReproducedwithpermissionfromSchiffmanM,CastlePE, Jeronimo J, et al. Human papillomavirus and cervical cancer.Lancet 2007;370(9590):890–

TheproteinsencodedbytheE6andE7genesofhigh-riskHPVtypes,particularlyHPV16 (cladealpha-9)andHPV18(cladealpha-7),aredirectlyinvolvedincellulartransformation inthepresenceofanactiveoncogene(188).E6andE7aretheprimaryHPVoncoproteins with numerous cellular targets (189,190). Both E6 and E7 proteins can immortalize primary keratinocytes from cervical epithelium and influence transcription from viral and cellular promoters (191). The activity of these viral oncoproteins results in genomic instability,leading to themalignant phenotype.E6proteinsofhigh-risk HPVtypesbind
the tumor suppressor protein p53 (192,193). This induces ubiquitination and degradationofp53,removingthep53-dependentcontrolofthehostcellcycle(194196).
