Abstract
Objective: High-resolution anoscopy (HRA) with ablation of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) can prevent the development of anal cancer in people with HIV (PWH). We sought to characterize factors associated with successful HSIL resolution or local or metachronous recurrence.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 62 PWH who underwent HRAs from December 1, 2017 to July 1, 2022. Participants were ≥30 years old with ≥2 HRAs and ≥1 HSIL lesions. Poisson and logistic regressions were used to assess factors associated with HSIL resolution and local or metachronous recurrence of HSIL.
Results: Of 62 PWH, 85.5% had resolution of at least 1 HSIL. Undergoing ≥5 HRAs with thermoablation was associated with HSIL resolution (adjusted rate ratio [aRR] = 2.82) (confidence interval [CI] = 1.55-5.15), p < .001). Tobacco use was negatively associated with resolution (aRR = 0.62 (CI = 0.43-0.90), p = .01). Of this cohort, 58.1% had HSIL recurrence. Having more HRAs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.77 (CI = 1.27-6.06), p = .01) and female sex (aOR = 9.66 (CI = 1.14-81.85), p = .04) were associated with recurrence. Non-White race was negatively associated with recurrence (aOR = 0.12 (CI = 0.02-0.68), p = .04). Our study was primarily limited by its retrospective nature and small sample size.
Conclusion: Our study supports the utility of HRA/ablation for HSIL treatment with >85% of participants experiencing resolution of at least 1 HSIL. We found that having more HRAs was associated with a higher likelihood of resolution. However, the high rate of recurrence and progression to HSIL highlights the need for continued surveillance after treatment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the source for the latest science about benign and malignant conditions of the cervix, vagina, vulva, and anus.
The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original research original research that addresses prevalence, causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of lower genital tract disease. We publish clinical guidelines, position papers, cost-effectiveness analyses, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews, including meta-analyses. We also publish papers about research and reporting methods, opinions about controversial medical issues. Of particular note, we encourage material in any of the above mentioned categories that is related to improving patient care, avoiding medical errors, and comparative effectiveness research. We encourage publication of evidence-based guidelines, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, and decision aids. Original research and reviews may be sub-classified according to topic: cervix and HPV, vulva and vagina, perianal and anal, basic science, and education and learning.
The scope and readership of the journal extend to several disciplines: gynecology, internal medicine, family practice, dermatology, physical therapy, pathology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, sex therapy, and pharmacology. The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease highlights needs for future research, and enhances health care.
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the official journal of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease, and the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy, and sponsored by the Australian Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology and the Society of Canadian Colposcopists.
