Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Using laser capture microdissection (LCM) and sensitive human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping, we aimed to determine the distribution of vaccine-preventable types in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) lesions and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) in young women in Victoria, Australia, offered catch-up HPV vaccination, as a baseline for ongoing vaccine impact monitoring. We also compared findings with available pre-vaccination estimates from women with HPV detected on concurrently-collected cytology samples.
