From epidemiological viewpoint, it has been elucidated that cervical cancer is caused by something transmitted through sexual contact. At present, human papilloma virus, HPV, is thought to be one of the most important candidates, because 60-80% of invasive cancer as well as 30-50% of premalignant lesions of the cervix contain HPV, most of which is HPV-16 or 18. However, these HPVs are detected ...

High-risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) plays an important role in cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution HPV genotypes region and correlate it with liquid-based-cytology (LBC) colposcopic biopsy results. Furthermore, potential relationship between infections bacterial vaginosis (BV) investigated. were determined using real-time PCR. LBC, biopsies, BV examina...

The primary underlying cause of cervical cancer is infection with one or more high-risk (HR) types of the human papilloma virus (HPV). Detection and typing of HPV have been commonly carried out by PCR-based assays, where HPV detection and typing are two separate procedures. Here, we present a multiplex PCR-based HPV typing assay that detects 20 HPV types (15 HR, 3 probably HR and 2 low risk) us...

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the necessary cause of cervical cancer. This survey used a sample of 1,500 married women aged 15-69 to examine the prevalence of HPV infection and HPV specific types in Vietnam as well as risk factors of HPV infection. Results indicated that the prevalence of HPV infection in Hanoi and HCM was 6.13 and 8.27. The proportion of multiple HPV infection was also higher...
