METHODS: We conducted a survey for practicing gynecologists recruited through academic institutions, professional societies, and professional groups on social media resulting in 196 respondents. The survey, fielded between January and June 2022, included questions on knowledge, attitudes, training, and practices regarding anal cancer prevention (ACP). Descriptive statistics and χ2 analysis were completed. RESULTS: In terms of knowledge regarding ACP, over 80% of respondents identified certain clinical indications for anal cancer screening...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the triage value obtained in DNA ploidy analysis of cervical exfoliated cells in women with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV)-positive status in the primary screening of cervical cancer. METHODS: We selected 3,000 HR-HPV-positive women for cervical exfoliated cell sampling and conducted DNA ploidy analysis, liquid-based cytology (LBC), colposcopy, and cervical biopsy. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL)-positive detection between DNA ploidy analysis and LBC were compared according to histopathology diagnosis as the golden criteria, and the efficacy of predicting HSIL-positive immediate risk was evaluated...

OBJECTIVE: The rationale for the use of autologous fat grafting in the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) consists in reduction of inflammation, regeneration of tissues, volume increase, and pain fiber control. The main outcome of our study was the evaluation of patients' satisfaction after treatment. Secondary outcomes included modifications in symptoms, psychosexual wellbeing, vulvar hydration, and histology after surgery. METHODS: Eligible for this study were women aged 18-85 years with a histological diagnosis of VLS who underwent at least one autologous vulvar fat grafting at our center, between 2010 and 2019...

OBJECTIVE: Women often experience psychological distress upon receipt of an abnormal Pap test result. This study aimed to evaluate psychological distress and its correlates among women who received an abnormal Pap screening test result. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in a cohort of 172 consecutive women who had attended screening for cervical cancer and who received abnormal Pap smear results and underwent additional diagnostic procedures (colposcopy/biopsy/endocervical curettage)...

OBJECTIVE: Nonsclerotic lichen sclerosus (NSLS) refers to the clinicopathologic situation of examination findings consistent with lichen sclerosus (LS) but without dermal sclerosis on microscopy. This review aims to describe the features of NSLS and provide a classification framework. METHODS: The International Society of the Study of Vulvovaginal Diseases tasked the Difficult Pathologic Diagnoses Committee with development of consensus documents for conditions with problematic histopathology...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to identify whether vulvar self-examination learned from a web site could lead to a self-identification of vulvar lesions and the feasibility of virtual vulvar care with patient submitted photos. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study used a prospective cohort design in a tertiary academic hospital over a 1-year period. Eligible participants who self-identified a vulvar lesion/skin changes were invited to send vulvar photos through a secure patient portal and schedule a phone consult to discuss diagnosis/management...

OBJECTIVE: The etiology of plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) is debated. The authors aimed to test the hypothesis that PCV could be divided into 2 clinical phenotypes. METHODS: Patients with a clinico-pathological diagnosis of PCV and with available vulvar photos seen in a vulvar clinic were retrospectively studied. The cases of PCV were divided into 2 groups: non-lichen-associated (primary PCV) and lichen-associated (secondary PCV). The 2 groups were compared in terms of age, menopausal status, location of the PCV, and 12 histologic parameters (Fisher exact test, p < ...

OBJECTIVE: Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. In male patients, it usually involves the glans penis and foreskin and can cause phimosis or meatal stenosis. The aim of this cross-sectional case-control study was to identify clinically important comorbidities in male patients with LS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: By searching Turku University Hospital electronic health records, the authors identified 630 male patients diagnosed with LS between 2004 and 2020...

OBJECTIVE: Socioeconomic status (SES) impacts on the incidence of many inflammatory diseases and cancers, but there is no evidence on its implication in vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS). The authors aimed to assess possible associations between SES and both occurrence of VLS and cancer occurrence among VLS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort of women resident in the province of Ferrara, Italy, affected with VLS diagnosed between 2001 and 2020, was investigated for assessing any association of SES with VLS and cancer incidence...

The benefit of treating anal precancerous lesions to reduce anal cancer progression was recently shown in people living with HIV. This will certainly impact the future development of recommendations on anal cancer prevention by including anal precancerous lesions screening and treatment for people living with HIV. However, by bringing this topic to the spotlight, it has also uncovered data that are still missing in this field and that need to be addressed by research.This article will discuss the many unanswered questions about treatment of anal precancerous lesions and future directions for research...

The goals of this document are to clarify language to provide inclusive care for SGM populations and to provide recommendations for screening and prevention of HPV-related cancers in SGM populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An expert committee convened by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology performed a narrative review of the literature through February 2023...

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic literature search to identify and determine the prevalence, signs and symptoms, and clinical management of vulvar and vaginal graft versus host disease (GVHD). METHODS: A systematic literature search of articles from 1993 to August 2022 was performed. Studies were included if full text was available in the English language and provided reports on female subjects with more than four patients.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the number of patients undergoing large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ), for biopsy-confirmed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), where the original cervical screening test (CST) reported oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) and negative liquid-based cytology (LBC). This reflects the number of patients where a LLETZ procedure would not have occurred under the previous guideline. METHODS: Retrospective observational chart review of all patients (n = 477) who underwent LLETZ procedure in a single tertiary unit over a 36-month period...
