Cervical Cancer: Worldwide Prevalence,
Incidence, and Mortality Estimates
 Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among
women worldwide
 Estimated 530,000 new cases
 Estimated 274,000 deaths
 More than 85% of the global burden occurs in developing
countries .
Geneva, Switzerland: World Health Organization; 2003

Cervical Cancer in Saudi Arabia
 Incidence of cervical cancer is low in Saudi Arabia
 Rank number 8 between all cancers in female
 Every year, 241women are diagnosed with cervical cancer
and 84 die from the disease.
 Account only 2.4 % of all cases
SCR Report 2012
 Infection with oncogenic HPV types is the most significant
risk factor in cervical cancer etiology.1
 Worldwide , the prevalence of HPV in cervical cancer is
99.7%.
 Specific oncogenic HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, and 45)
have been detected in 63%–97% of invasive cervical
cancer cases worldwide.

Screening
Screening test
 Should be accurate, practical
 Acceptable, highly sensitive (those with disease are most
likely to have a positive test)
 Highly specific (negative test means there is no disease),
and it should have a high
 Predictive value (those with a positive test are most likely
to have disease)
Options for cervical cancer screening
Visual inspection with acetic acid Visual inspection with Lugols iodine
PAP smear
HPV testing hc2
Limitations of Cytology
 Should be done in the context of an organized screening
program
 Quality assurance of cytology needs to be very good
 Requires colposcopy and biopsy to confirm dysplasia
 The necessity for multiple visits with cytology based
screening results in significant loss to follow-up
 Even with the best quality control ,cytology has low sensitivity
Sensitivity of PAP 53 %
Cuzick et al IGC 2006
Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA)
• VIA: Visual inspection with
acetic acid
• VILI: Visual inspection with
Lugols iodine
– Both Low tech can be done
by nurses
– May need to utilize
colposcopy to triage post
positive test to rule out
cancer

ADVANTAGES
 Very sensitive
 It requires laboratory
infrastructure
 Trained technicians, and storage
facilities.
 Decreases the number of
cytologists needed
 Increase screening interval
which decreases cost and
improves convenience

The future test for cervical cancer screening
 Dynamic Spectral Imaging System
 DySIS
 LuViva Advanced Cervical Scan
DySIS
It uses Dynamic Spectral Imaging technology to
evaluate the aceto- whitening phenomenon and
to detect cancerous and precancerous cervical tissue
 produces a quantified measurement of the rate,
 extent, and duration of the aceto-whitening effect that
 is summarised in a graphical display
 Can detect high-grade lesions with 88% sensitivity,
 compared to the 55% achieved in conventional
colposcopy.
(Louwers et al. 2011)
LuViva
 Multimodal Spectroscopy- Identifies both
chemical and physical cell changes
 Fluorescence Spectroscopy :The unique
chemical components of diseased cells are
able to be differentiated from healthy cells by
the light they produce.
 Reflectance Spectroscopy : Diseased cells
absorb and reflect light differently than
healthy cells.
 Common morphological changes that effect
light reflectance are: epithelial thickening,
nuclear size and content, and angiogenesis
Indications of LuViva
LuViva is intended for use after:
•Abnormal cytology
•Positive HPV findings
To triage women aged 16+ for additional evaluation prior
to colposcopy and biopsy.
It may reduce colposcopy by up to 40% thus reducing
overall costs

LuViva result screen
Advantage to physician
•Physician or nurse operated
•Easy to use
•Result is immediate
•Similar in cost to other GYN
devices
•Finds disease earlier
•Reduces false positives
•Self-calibration before each use
Advantage to the patient
• Procedure is painless and
causes no discomfort
• Procedure is fast
• Result is immediate, no more
waiting and wondering if
something is wrong
• May avoid having an
unnecessary colposcopy
examination and or biopsies
 Pivotal clinical trial 1,607 women enrolled…data
evaluated on 1,330
• Subjects 16 to 84 years old
• Multiple races:
Results :
 cervical spectroscopy (LuViva) detected 36.4% more
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) than tests
used under current guidelines
 It could reduce unnecessary referrals of women with
normal pathology by as much as 40%
