31 The prevalence and risk factors of anal human papillomavirus infection in high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia patients

Abstract

Introduction and aims of the study: Cervical and anal cancers are the most common HPV-associated malignancies in women. Some studies suggest that high-risk cervical dysplasia (HRCD) patients have an increased risk for anal HPV-infection and anal high-grade dysplasia, however, this association is not well established. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence and to identify the possible risk factors (RF) of anal HPV infection in HRCD-patients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Gynaecological department of Riga East Clinical University Hospital, involving 25 HRCD (CIN2+) patients with planned cervical excision.
