• Title: “Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New Zealand”
• Update 1999 guidelines
• Provide recommendations on management of women participating in cervical screening
- assessment, treatment and follow-up
- are guidelines ie, they do not override clinical decisions, particularly if women have clinical symptoms
The new guidelines
![Page 4: Review of the Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New ... · Repeat cervical smear in 12 months. Until 1 July 2009: Women aged 30 years and over with one (or more) normal smear reports](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052010/602055bc19c9513cab354e85/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The review process
• Two multidisciplinary expert working groups
• Extensive review of literature and guidelines of other countries
• NSU commissioned cost-effectiveness evaluation:
Guidelines (without HPV testing) – cost-effective but neutral in cancer impact
HPV testing for triage of women over 30 yrs – would reduce cervical cancer cases
100% LBC plus HPV triage – cost-effective
HPV testing post-treatment – found to be cost effective and lead to long term savings.

Guidelines overview and key changes
![Page 7: Review of the Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New ... · Repeat cervical smear in 12 months. Until 1 July 2009: Women aged 30 years and over with one (or more) normal smear reports](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052010/602055bc19c9513cab354e85/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The most significant changes
• Changes to follow-up time for women with low grade smear abnormalities
• Additional information on various clinical circumstances
• The introduction of HPV testing (from 1 July 2009)
![Page 8: Review of the Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New ... · Repeat cervical smear in 12 months. Until 1 July 2009: Women aged 30 years and over with one (or more) normal smear reports](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052010/602055bc19c9513cab354e85/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Age range and screening interval
• Age range and screening interval unchanged – for review by NSU within 3-5 years
• Women under 20 years must not be routinely screened- can cause more harm than benefit
• Note WHO (2006) recommendation (new programmes):
no screening women <25 yrs
3 year interval for women 25-49 yrs
5 year interval for women >50 yrs.
![Page 9: Review of the Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New ... · Repeat cervical smear in 12 months.

Management of women with normal cervical smears
• Recall in 3 years – not before
SHORT INTERVAL RESHORT INTERVAL RE--SCREENINGSCREENING
- Represents unnecessary use of NCSP resources
- Impacts on laboratory turn around times
- Can lead to inappropriate treatment

Management of women with unsatisfactory smears
•• Repeat the smear within 3 monthsRepeat the smear within 3 months
• There may be situations where LBC offers some advantage over conventional smears, such as women with:
– excessive cervical mucus, discharge or blood
– recurrent inflammatory smears
– recurrent unsatisfactory smears

Low-grade: colp. assessment
COLPOSCOPIC ASSESSMENT
GUIDELINE
Satisfactory and normal
Refer back to the smear taker for two annual smears.1. If either smear is abnormal, refer for repeat
colposcopy.2. If both smears are negative, resume routine
screening.
Unsatisfactory Cytology review is recommended.• If low-grade cytology is confirmed on review, repeat colposcopy and cytology in 12 months. • Management may be individualised….
Note: recall 12 months rather than 6 months

Low-grade: histology confirmed
Note: recall at 12 months rather than 6 months
HISTOLOGY REPORT GUIDELINE
Histologically confirmed low grade squamous abnormalities
Treatment is not recommended, as such lesions are considered to be an expression of a productive HPV infection.
Refer back to smear taker for repeat cytology at 12 and 24 months. If both smears are negative, it is recommended that the woman return to routine screening.
If either repeat smear shows ASC-US / LSIL or higher ie: HSIL / ASC-H / AGC /AIS then the woman should be referred back to colposcopy.

ASSESSMENTGUIDELINE
Satisfactory and abnormal
Targeted biopsy should be performed for histological diagnosis.Where biospy confirms CIN 1, manage based on MDM.
Satisfactory and normal colposcopy or negative biopsy
Cytology review is recommendedIf review confirms high-grade, repeat colposcopy and
cytology within 3 months:1. If colposcopy and cytology normal at 3 months repeat
cytology in 12 months. 2. If colposcopy or cytology LSIL at 3 months, individualise
management based on multidisciplinary team review. 3. If colposcopy or cytology HSIL at 3 months, treatment is
indicated.
HrHPV testing to assist management as from 1 July 2009
Unsatisfactory colposcopy
Cytology review is recommendedIf review confirms ASC-H / HSIL, cone biopsy is recommended.If review confirms normal or ASC-US or LSIL, manage based
on MDM.

FOLLOW UP GUIDELINERoutine
follow upA woman treated for CIN 2 or 3 should have a colposcopy
and smear in 6-12 months.
A cervical smear should be taken 12 months after treatment and annually thereafter until the age of 70.
As from 1 July 2009, HrHPV testing ….

High-grade: glandular AGC/AIS/AC - cytology
• Proportionally, cervical adenocarcinomas are increasing.
• Glandular lesions carry a significant risk of cancer.
• Colposcopic assessment is mandatory for cytology suggesting glandular abnormalities.

Special clinical circumstances
For example:SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE GUIDELINEPregnancy Cervical smears and colposcopy are not
contraindicated, however, it is not necessary to do routine cervical smears.
Low-grade cytology lesions - a repeat smear after 12 months.
High-grade lesions should be referred for colposcopic evaluation.
Immunosuppressed women
Refer abnormal smear results for colposcopy, even for a low-grade lesion.

Summary: indications for case review
• HSIL in women under 20 years
• Discordance between cytology and colposcopy:- HSIL and normal colp. assessment- Abnormal glandular cytology and normal colp. assessment- Persistent LSIL and normal colp. assessment.
• Unsatisfactory colposcopy and suggested high- grade disease.

High risk HPV (HrHPV) testing
![Page 27: Review of the Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New ... · Repeat cervical smear in 12 months. Until 1 July 2009: Women aged 30 years and over with one (or more) normal smear reports](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052010/602055bc19c9513cab354e85/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HrHPV testing
• Tests for 13 high risk HPV genotypes
• Very high negative predictive value (approx 99%)
• A positive HPV test indicates increased risk of developing a high grade lesion but does not indicate the presence of abnormal cell changes.
• HPV testing is a useful adjunct to management.
• Can be requested with LBC or as a separate swab.
![Page 28: Review of the Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New ... · Repeat cervical smear in 12 months. Until 1 July 2009: Women aged 30 years and over with one (or more) normal smear reports](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052010/602055bc19c9513cab354e85/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
HrHPV testing and the NCSP
• Operational from 1 July 2009.
• “NCSP Best Practice Guidance on HPV Testing” is available at www.nsu.govt.nz
• Of benefit in 3 main areas of management.

1. HPV testing for triage of low-grade smears
![Page 30: Review of the Guidelines for Cervical Screening in New ... · Repeat cervical smear in 12 months. Until 1 July 2009: Women aged 30 years and over with one (or more) normal smear reports](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052010/602055bc19c9513cab354e85/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Triage with HPV testing
• For:– Women 30 years and over
– No abnormal smear reports in the last 5 years
– Low-grade smear result (ASCUS/LSIL)
• Use of ‘reflex testing’ – LBC or co-collection
• Women who test positive for HrHPV will be referred to colposcopy. Women who are HrHPV negative return to 3 yearly recall (following another negative smear).

HPV testing: post-treatment
• Following treatment for pre-cancerous lesions
• Substitutes for annual smears for life
• 2 negative HPV and smear tests - return to normal screening
• Will require close monitoring of long term safety

HPV testing: discordant results
• ‘Discordant’ results eg; a high-grade smear result but colposcopy appears normal
• HPV testing assists in management
• Similar to ‘test of cure’ flowchart
