i.e. including HPV types not covered by the vaccine) are considered,
the reduction of lesions is less than 20% in vaccinees compared to
placebo recipients (“population impact”). These data demonstrate
that the currently available vaccines have an excellent preventive efficacy against the vaccine HPV types; but no therapeutic effect can be
expected, and cross protection against non-vaccine HPV types is at
best very limited. The vaccines are considered safe, serious sideeffects being extremely rare, and comparable to other vaccines that
are generally accepted as beneficial.
61
The ideal target population for
this vaccine are females before the onset of sexual activity, i.e. girls at
the age of 11–12 years. After sexual debut, “catch-up” vaccination
may still be beneficial or provide partial protection if the recipient
has not been exposed to all HPV types covered by the vaccine. Males
may benefit from the vaccine not so much in terms of protection
against the rather rare penile carcinoma, but also against condylomata acuminata, which are a frequent cause of emotional embarrassment and reason for cumbersome medical interventions. Also, if herd
immunity is desired, males need to be vaccinated in order to eliminate that viral reservoir. The usefulness of vaccinating other target
groups (e.g. older adults, victims of sexual abuse, HIV positive individuals, infants born to HIV positive mothers) is still under investigation. In addition to cervical, vaginal and penile carcinomas, a
significant subset of vulvar, anal, oropharyngeal and other carcinomas are associated with the same high risk HPV types, and it is
expected that the vaccine will provide protection against those cancers, too. Since HPV types 16 and 18 together cause approximately
“only” 70% of all cervical cancers, the vaccine does not provide protection against all cancers. Therefore it is most important to emphasize that vaccine recipients must not discontinue their screening
programs!
Although it is hoped that the advent of the HPV vaccine marks
the beginning of the end of cervical cancer, there is still a long way to
go. Considering that it takes on average at least ten years for a high
grade squamous intraepithelial lesion to progress to an invasive carcinoma, a significant reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer cannot
108 P Schlosshauer

be expected until about the year 2020. Developed countries have
already experienced a dramatic reduction in cervical cancer numbers
over the past decades due to efficient prevention programs. Here, the
impact of the vaccine on a further reduction of morbidity and mortality will be relatively small. Most cases of invasive cervical carcinoma
in industrialized countries occur in patients who did not participate in
screening programs anyway, and this population is unlikely to volunteer for a vaccine. On the other hand, the greatest population impact
of the HPV vaccine could be achieved in developing countries where
no screening programs are in effect. There the major drawbacks of the
currently available vaccines become evident: first of all, the high cost
makes them practically unaffordable for the population in need.
Furthermore, limited shelf life, the need to refrigerate the vaccine,
and the protocol of three separate injections over the course of six
months reduce the practicability in countries with compromised infrastructure. Current research efforts addressing these and other shortcomings of the first generation HPV vaccines include the following:
VLP-based vaccines against more (e.g. a total of eight) HPV types;
L2 (minor capsid protein)-based vaccines that evoke a broader cross
protection covering numerous HPV types; single dose application
vaccines; oral/nasal (inhalation) application vaccines; DNA vaccines
(plasmid-based) that are stable at room temperature; therapeutic
vaccines that elicit a cellular immunity against the viral E6 and E7
proteins; and chimeric vaccines that combine preventive and therapeutic properties.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS
OF CERVICAL, VAGINAL
AND VULVAR CANCER:
A CLINICIAN’S VIEW
Albert Altchek
CERVICAL CANCER
General Considerations
The risk for cervical cancer in the US is 1 in 135 women with 11,070
new cases and 3870 deaths predicted for 2008. There has been a great
decrease in the incidence of cervical cancer in the US because of Pap
cytology and HPV testing. Worldwide there are about 500,000 new
cases annually, mainly in the developing countries where it is the second
leading cause of mortality due to cancer. The high-grade lesion biopsies
or excisional procedures may be found to detect a small percentage of
early cervical cancer, according to Creasman.
1
Other guidelines are more
detailed with many exceptions and individualization depending on age
(adolescent, postmenopausal), desire to preserve fertility, pregnancy and

different life styles. Endocervical glandular (adenomatous) cytology is
relatively unreliable and malignancy is readily overlooked. The American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Cancer
Society and the Bethesda System (2001) have slightly different guidelines. Of the 120 types of human papilloma virus (HPV), about 30 types
affect the squamous epithelium of the lower genital and anal areas of
females and males.
1
Types 6 and 11 (low-risk) cause condyloma acuminata. Types 16, 18, 31 and 45 (high-risk) may induce cancer if they persist over the years. Type 18 tends to be found in adenocarcinoma.
1
Screening for Cervical Neoplasia Precursors
A simplified management of cervical cytology (with individual modifications) was outlined:
1
1. For ASC-US: Atypical squamous cells of unknown significance.
Consider: Repeat cytology, colposcopy or HPV DNA testing. Cone
or loop excisional procedures should not be done if there is no
proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or in adolescents.
2. For ASC-H: Atypical squamous cells — cannot exclude HSIL
(high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion).
Recommend: Should have colposcopy.
3. For low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL).
Consider: Colposcopy; for adolescents repeat cytology.
4. For high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL).
Recommend: Colposcopy and endocervical sampling; sometimes
diagnostic excisional procedures; repeat cytology or HPV testing
is unacceptable because there should be prompt investigation.
1
5. For atypical glandular cells and adenocarcinoma in situ (AGC
and AIS) (based on 2001 Bethesda system).
Recommend: Colposcopy with endocervical sampling; consider
endometrial sampling. If negative, consider cold knife conization. Repeat cytology is unacceptable.

last modified 4/10/2008.2The prevalence of CIN is highest among
women in their 20s and 30s; however, mortality is rare under age 30.
HSIL is rare in women older than age 65 who have been previously
screened. About 70% of ASCUS and CIN 1 lesions regress within six
years. About 6% of CIN 1 lesions progress to CIN 3 or worse. About
10% to 20% with CIN 3 progress to invasive cancer. Although mortality is higher in black women than white women, mortality in all is
rare if there has been regular screening. In low resource, underdeveloped countries there is ongoing research of one-time “screen and
treat” such as a one-time visual inspection of the cervix with acetic
acid (VIA) and immediate colposcopy, directed biopsy and cryotherapy when indicated.
The accuracy of the Papanicolau (Pap) test is measured by sensitivity (percent of “true-positives”) and specificity (percent of “truenegatives”). Such tests have rarely been done. For a single Pap test for
high-grade lesions the sensitivity is 55% to 80%. With regular Pap testing it is higher. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Pap
smear, both a test threshold (point at which it is “positive”) and a
reference-standard threshold (considered to be “positive”) must be
defined. Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance is often
used as the test threshold and cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN)
is used as the reference threshold. This gives a sensitivity of about 68%
and a specificity of about 75%. A better test threshold may be lowgrade squamous intraepithelial lesions with a reference threshold of
CIN 2–3 which gives a sensitivity of 70% to 80%, with a specificity of
about 95%.
An adequate specimen is critical. “Adequate training and using
such techniques as the cytobrush may improve sensitivity”
2
(Fig. 1).
Although the new liquid-based cytology (ThinPrep) gives mixed evidence for adequacy, it has the advantage of simultaneous HPV testing. (Comment: Advantages are simultaneous HPV testing and in the
near future testing for other diseases, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia,
herpes, trichomonads, candida, bacterial vaginosis. In addition, individual squamous cells are seen without overlapping other cells, therefore readings are faster). Women who have had a total hysterectomy
with removal of the cervix for benign disease rarely have Pap smear
