  • Agreement Between Endocervical Brush and Endocervical Curettage in Patients Undergoing Repeat Endocervical Sampling
    Agreement Between Endocervical Brush and Endocervical Curettage in Patients Undergoing Repeat Endocervical Sampling Meredith J. Alston MD David W. Doo MD Sara E. Mazzoni MD MPH Elaine H. Stickrath MD Denver Health Medical Center University of Colorado Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Background • Women with abnormal Pap tests referred for colposcopy frequently require sampling of the endocervix • ASCCP deems both the endocervical brush (ECB) and the endocervical currette (ECC) appropriate means of collecting endocervical samples (1) • Both have advantages and disadvantages, and it is unclear if one modality is superior Background • ECB has good sensitivity for endocervical lesions, it has poor specificity, ranging from 26- 38%2,3 • ECC has an excellent negative predictive value of 99.4% in women who had a satisfactory colposcopy • ECB is better tolerated by the patient, but runs the risk of contamination from the ectocervix • ECC is less likely to obtain an adequate sample Background • The results from the endocervical sample may influence clinical management after colposcopy. • Certain treatment options for high grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia are available only to women with negative endocervical sampling. ▫ Ablative techniques ▫ Expectant management Background • Over concerns related to potential complications of excisional treatments, as well as over- treatment, there has been a push to re-introduce ablative techniques and, in appropriate clinical circumstances, expectant management, into the routine treatment of patients with cervical cancer precursors (12). Background • At our institution, it is our concern that due to the possibility of contamination from the ectocervix, a positive ECB may not represent a true positive endocervical sample. • We do not use a sleeve • Positive ECBs return for ECC if otherwise a candidate for ablative therapy or expectant management Objective • To describe the agreement between these two modalities of endocervical sampling.

  • Cervical Cancer
    Cervical Cancer Overview Each year, about 15,000 women in the United States learn they have cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is one of the most common types to affect a woman’s reproductive organs. Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Before cervical cancer appears, the cells of the cervix go through precancerous changes known as dysplasia. It is these abnormal cell changes that an annual Pap test can help to detect. For some women, these changes may go away without any treatment. More often, they need to be treated to keep them from changing into cancer. Because so many women do have Pap tests annually, deaths from cervical cancer have decreased greatly and are now rare in the United States. Chances of successfully treating cervical cancer are highest when detected early. Need-to-Know Anatomy The cervix is part of the female reproductive system. It is the narrow, lower end of the uterus. It is a hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows. It is about one inch around and connects the vagina (birth canal) to the uterus. During a woman’s menstrual period, blood flows from the uterus through the cervix to the vagina. The cervix also produces mucus that helps sperm move from the vagina into the uterus. Sperm travel through the cervix to fertilize a woman’s egg during conception. During pregnancy, the cervix is tightly closed to help keep the baby inside the uterus. During childbirth, the cervix opens or dilates to allow the baby to pass through the vagina.
