background: one of the most common sexual‑transmitted infections among women is human papillomavirus (hpv) infection which is associated with genital cancers. different studies in iran reported various prevalences, and combining their results could be important for health policy makers. this study aims to determine the total prevalence of hpv infection as well as its related genotypes, particul...

background cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in females. human papilloma virus (hpv) is the major risk factor of cervical cancer. objectives the aim of the current study was to explore the frequency and role of 23 different hpvs in patients with cervical cancer. materials and methods overall, 117 formalin-fix and paraffin-embedded (ffpe) tissues from cervical ...

BACKGROUND The prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced anal cancer in high-risk populations such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) remains an urgent priority, given rising incidence rates despite widespread antiretroviral therapy use. METHODS HPV genotypes and anal disease prevalence, by cytology and histopathologic findings, were evaluate...

The aims of the present study were to investigate the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in cervical lesions, and the association between different HPV genotypes and cervical lesions. Between January 2013 and June 2014, the HPV type determinations of nucleic acid by use of fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method of 15,192 outpatients in China-Japan Friendship Hospi...

OBJECTIVES Following the implementation of Australia's National HPV Vaccination Program in April 2007, this study evaluated the prevalence of vaccine-targeted human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes (HPV 6, 11, 16, 18) amongst vaccine-eligible young women. METHODS Between September 2011 and August 2013, women from Victoria, Australia aged 18-25 were recruited through targeted advertising on the ...

BACKGROUND HPV infection in women from developing countries is an important public health problem. Therefore, we sought to determine the prevalences of HPV infection and HPV genotypes in a female population of Durango City, Mexico. Also to determine whether any socio-demographic characteristic from the women associated with HPV infection exists. METHODS Four hundred and ninety eight women see...

BACKGROUND HIV-positive men with a history of anal-receptive intercourse are at risk for anal cancer. We determined whether human papilloma virus (HPV) biomarkers were correlated with anal pathology in these men. METHODS HPV genotype was determined by PCR/line blot assay. Real-time PCR assays were done for viral load, E6 transcripts for HPV genotypes 16, 18, and 31, and p16 transcripts. RES...

BACKGROUND Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is the third most common malignant neoplasm affecting Brazilian women. Little is known about the impact of specific HPV genotypes in the prognosis of ICC. We hypothesized that HPV genotype would impact ICC clinical presentation and survival. METHODS Women diagnosed with ICC at the Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo (ICESP) between May 2008 and...

BACKGROUND The human papillomavirus (HPV) Persistence and Progression Cohort is a natural history study of carcinogenic HPV positive women. Here, we present the HPV genotypes found in first ∼500 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) or more severe disease (CIN3+) diagnosed at the study baseline. METHODS Women aged 30 and older were screened for cervical cancer using Pap s...

Oncogenic HPV genotypes are strongly associated with premalignant and malignant cervical lesion. The purpose was to determine human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and genotypes, and to estimate cervical cancer risk factor associations. Cervical samples were obtained from 251 women seeking gynecological care at the Pelotas School of Medicine Clinic. This is a cross-sectional study. HPV-DNA was ...
