Objectives of the study:

To determine the percentages of precancerous lesions in the cervix in a group of women with positive diagnostic to the DNA-HPV test.

Materials and methods:

The present study is a cross-sectional exploratory analysis of a database with information on the results of DNA-HPV tests (genotype and type of infection), cytology and colposcopy, carried out on 58 women aged 30 or older, for the period from October 2018 to February 2019.

Results:

Of the 58 women positive for the DNA-HPV test, 57% (n=33) were positive for the cervical cytology test. Of this group of women, 21% (n=7) were diagnosed LEI-negative; for LEI-BG 33% (n=11); and for LEI-AG, 45% (n=15) using the colposcopy test. HPV-16 has a higher detection frequency in the LEI-AG with 46.7% (n=7). Likewise, the genotypes that cover the Gardasil_4 vaccine were members in a greater percentage in the LEI-AG in comparison with other diagnosed histopathological types, this association being statistically significant, value of p = 0.033.

Conclusions:

The implementation of the new clinical practice guideline for the detection and management of precancerous lesions of the cervix shows satisfactory results, the DNA-HPV detection being consistent, with the identification of cytological and histopathological abnormalities, allowing the early identification of women at risk to develop cervical cancer.
