Intriguing Results Regarding the Prevalence and Distribution of Hpv Types in Women with Cervical Cancer in a Romanian Population

چکیده
Cancer of the uterine cervix is the 5th most deadly type of female cancer [1]. It is clearly demonstrated that HPV infection is the necessary, but not the sufficient cause of most cervical cancers [2]. The association between cancer of the uterine cervix and HPV is unique because no other human cancer is dependent on a single infectious factor for its development [3]. Worldwide, HPV types 16 and 18 accounts for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases with other high-risk types, such as HPV-45, HPV-31, HPV-33, and HPV-52, being responsible for the remaining cases [4,5].
