About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical presentation on Cervical Cancer, which is titled "Visual inspection with Lugols iodine (VILI)", to know about VILI and how it works, infrastructure requirements for VILI, what test results mean, test performance, strengths and limitations of VILI, and program implications in low-resource settings. VILI is Performing a vaginal speculum exam during which a health care provider applies Lugols iodine solution to the cervix. This is to view the cervix with the naked eye to identify color changes on the cervix to determine whether the test result is positive or negative for possible precancerous lesions or cancer.

Overview: Description of VILI and how it works Infrastructure requirements What test results mean Test performance Strengths and limitations Program implications in low-resource settings
Slide 3-

Types of visual inspection tests: Visual inspection with Lugol’s iodine (VILI), also known as Schiller’s test, uses Lugol’s iodine instead of acetic acid. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) can be done with the naked eye (also called cervicoscopy or direct visual inspection, [DVI]), or with low magnification (also called gynoscopy, aided VI, or VIAM).
Slide 4-

What does VILI involve? Performing a vaginal speculum exam during which a health care provider applies Lugol’s iodine solution to the cervix. Viewing the cervix with the naked eye to identify color changes on the cervix. Determining whether the test result is positive or negative for possible precancerous lesions or cancer.
Slide 5-

How VILI works: Squamous epithelium contains glycogen, whereas precancerous lesions and invasive cancer contain little or no glycogen. Iodine is glycophilic and is taken up by the squamous epithelium, staining it mahogany brown or black. Columnar epithelium does not change color, as it has no glycogen. Immature metaplasia and inflammatory lesions are at most only partially glycogenated and, when stained, appear as scattered, ill-defined uptake areas. Precancerous lesions and invasive cancer do not take up iodine (as they lack glycogen) and appear as well-defined, thick, mustard or saffron yellow areas.
Slide 6-

What infrastructure does VILI require? Private exam room Examination table Trained health professionals Adequate light source Sterile vaginal speculum New examination gloves, or HLD surgical gloves Large cotton swabs Lugol’s iodine solution and a small bowl Containers with 0.5% chlorine solution A plastic bucket with a plastic bag Quality assurance system to maximize accuracy

Categories for VILI test results:
Slide 8-

VILI: test-negative The squamous epithelium turns brown and columnar epithelium does not change color. There are scattered and irregular, partial or non-iodine uptake areas associated with immature squamous metaplasia or inflammation. Photo source: IARC
Slide 9-

VILI: test-positive Well-defined, bright yellow iodine non-uptake areas touching the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ). Well-defined, bright yellow iodine non-uptake areas close to the os if SCJ is not seen, or covering the entire cervix. Photo source: IARC
Slide 10-

VILI: Suspicious for cancer Clinically visible ulcerative, cauliflower-like growth or ulcer; oozing and/or bleeding on touch. Photo source: IARC
Slide 11-

Management options if the VILI result is positive: Offer to treat immediately, (without colposcopy or biopsy, known as the “test-and-treat” or “single-visit” approach). Refer for colposcopy and biopsy and then offer treatment if a precancerous lesion is confirmed.
Slide 12-

Management options if the VILI result is suspicious for cancer: Refer for colposcopy and biopsy and further management. Further management options include: Surgery Radiotherapy Chemotherapy Palliative care
Slide 13-

Test performance: Sensitivity and Specificity Sensitivity: The proportion of all those with disease that the test correctly identifies as positive. Specificity: The proportion of all those without disease (normal) that the test correctly identifies as negative.
Slide 14-

VILI test performance: Sensitivity = 87.2% Specificity = 84.7% These results are from a cross-sectional study involving 4,444 women. (Sankaranarayanan et al., 2003).
Slide 15-

Strengths of VILI: Simple, easy-to-learn approach that is minimally reliant upon infrastructure. Low start-up and sustaining costs. Many types of health care providers can perform the procedure. High sensitivity results in a low proportion of false negatives. Test results are available immediately. Decreased loss to follow-up.
Slide 16-

Limitations of VILI: Moderate specificity may result in over-referral and over-treatment in a single-visit approach. Less accurate when used in post-menopausal women. There is a need for developing standard training methods and quality assurance measures. Rater dependent.
Slide 17-

Conclusions: VILI is a promising new approach. Adequate training and ongoing supervision are essential to enable health care providers to evaluate the features of a lesion and make accurate assessments. More research is needed to establish the most appropriate and feasible approach to reducing false-positives and over-treatment (when offered as part of a single-visit, “test-and-treat” approach). Properly designed studies on VILI are essential to evaluating the effectiveness in reducing cervical cancer incidence and mortality.
