An Update on HPV Versus Non-HPV-Associated Endocervical Adenocarcinoma

 

Recent studies have focused on more detailed characterizations of endocervical adenocarcinomas which are not HPV driven. Additionally, the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours-Female Genital Tumours has been recently released. Using clinical cases, this presentation aims to highlight recent updates in the morphologic diagnosis and workup of both HPV-associated and HPV-independent invasive endocervical adenocarcinomas.

Objectives

After this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Describe updates from the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours-Female Genital Tumours (Uterine Cervix)
  • Recognize HPV-associated adenocarcinomas of the endocervix pattern-based assessment of invasive carcinoma (Silva classification)
  • Identify HPV-independent adenocarcinomas of the endocervix based on International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification (IECC) and proposed algorithmic workup
