Abstract:

Objective: To compare the application value of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA and HPV DNA detection in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. Methods: From January 2018 to September 2019, a total of 33 496 patients received cervical liquid-based thin-prep cytology test (TCT) in Shi Jia Zhuang Maternal & Child Healthcare Hospital. Among them, 3 190 patients who met inclusion criteria (ASCUS) were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 1 595 cases in each group. Control group received HPV DNA test and the other group received HPV E6/E7mRNA test. Then, cervical biopsy under colposcopy and histopathological examination were performed for positive patients in each group. The detection rate of cervical lesions was compared between the two methods. Then, 184 patients were randomly selected from the control group with positive result to receive HPV E6/E7 mRNA test. The other 184 patients were randomly selected from the observation group with positive result for HPV DNA detection. The diagnostic efficacy of the two methods was compared in 368 cases. Results: The detection rate of high-grade Cervical intraepithetial neoplasia was 77/1 595 (4.8%) in the control group and 66/1 595 (4.1%) in the observation group, with no statistically significant difference ( χ 2=0.886,P=0.347). However, compared with HPV DNA test, HPV E6/E7 mRNA test had higher sensitivity (87.50%), specificity (71.79%), positive predictive value (49.36%), negative predictive value (94.81%) and lower colposcopy referral rate (42.4%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: The diagnostic value of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test is higher than that of HPV DNA test for high-grade cervical lesions. It could be used as a new method to triage patients with ASCUS.
