HPV testing to triage low-grade abnormalities <strong>and</strong> TOC (continued)<br />

HPV testing for triage of low grade abnormalities<br />

• ASC-US triage (Soloman et al, 2001) appears useful in USA.<br />

Testing of borderline >35 years may be useful in UK but colposcopy<br />

referral rate increased.<br />

• UK pilot sites.<br />

• Follow up data from TOMBOLA suggested single +ve HPV test with<br />

referral to colposcopy does not improve detection of high grade CIN<br />

over following 3 yrs compared to repeat cytology<br />

– risk of abnormal cytology over 5 yrs about 15% (Castle et al, 2002)<br />

– consider cytology as triage (Ronco et al, 2010, unpublished).
