General Analysis on the Involvement of Human Papillomaviruses in the Etiopathogenesis of Cutaneous Tumours
نویسندگان
چکیده
The worldwide incidence of skin cancer has dramatically increased. The genetic, hormonal and environmental factors are involved in the development of skin cancer. Recently, human papillomaviruses are considered to play an important part in skin cancer etiopathogeny. Human papillomaviruses produce epithelial tumours of skin and mucous membranes. The number of patients identified with human papillomaviruses (HPV) has increased dramatically in the last 20 years due to the high awareness of the various clinical manifestations caused by HPV and due to the increased use of HPV DNA testing. The purpose of this work is to present the recent HPV data and the possible relationship between HPV and skin cancer.

متن کاملHuman Papillomaviruses and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer: Basic Virology and Clinical Manifestations
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) infect cutaneous and mucosal epithelia and induce benign and malignant lesions. Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), encompassing basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), is the most frequent cancer in the Caucasian population, and the incidence has increased dramatically worldwide. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor for NMSC, and cutaneous...
متن کاملProphylactic and therapeutic vaccination against a mucosal papillomavirus.
Papillomaviruses are ubiquitous DNA viruses affecting humans and animals and causing a variety of tumours of mucosal and cutaneous epithelia. Some of these lesions, particularly those affecting mucosal epithelia, can progress to squamous cell carcinomas. Prevention or cure of viral infection would ultimately lead to a decrease in the incidence of papillomavirus-associated cancers. Using recombi...
