BACKGROUND The previous studies reported some information about prevalence release of high-risk HPV types in HSIL or cervical cancer globally and in Iran, however, this information is not enough for final judgment about vaccination against HPV or any screening program. The aim of the present study was to assess the HPV type distribution in HSIL and ICC specimens of women attending Shahid Behesh...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and predictors of overtreatment in "see and treat" approach using loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) on cervical cytology. The overtreatment was considered when LEEP specimens contained no cervical pathology. Between January 2001 and April 2006, 446 women w...

AIMS To test the ability of Ki-67 to detect cytological lesions in a screening setting and its use as a surrogate marker of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. METHODS A study of liquid based cytology, HPV DNA testing by MY09/MY11 consensus polymerase chain reaction (PCR), type specific PCRs, and Ki-67 immunocytochemistry on a randomly selected series of 147 patients. RESULTS Comparison o...

Objectives. In Belgium, very few studies have focused on cervical high-risk human papillomaviruses (hrHPV) prevalence and the relationship between HPV and cervical cytological abnormalities. The aim of this study was to investigate hrHPV prevalence and its relationship with cytological screening and histological results in the French-speaking community in Belgium (Brussels and Wallonia). Method...

conclusions this study describes robust information on the distribution of hpv genotypes among iranian women with and without cervical lesions. the present data may be of importance for designing future public health strategies, including hpv vaccination programs. results in total, hpv infection was detected in 45.4% of the cases. the most common high-risk hpv (hr-hpv) genotype was hpv-16 (32.8...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the risks of invasive cervical cancer after detection of atypical glandular cells (AGC) during cervical screening. DESIGN Nationwide population based cohort study. SETTING Cancer and population registries in Sweden. PARTICIPANTS 3,054,328 women living in Sweden at any time between 1 January 1980 and 1 July 2011 who had any record of cervical cytological testing a...

Cervical cancer serves as a biologic and an epidemiologic model for anal carcinoma and its precursors. The current incidence of cervical cancer in the United States is approximately 8 cases per 100,000 people. The incidence of anal cancer in men who had sex with men (MSM) prior to the HIV epidemic was 35 per 100,000—an incidence rate similar to that of cervical cancer before routine Pap testing...

INTRODUCTION Before the introduction of vaccination against human papillomaviruses (HPV) as a new strategy of combating cervical cancer, it is required to describe the baseline prevalence of HPV infection as well as the distribution of the different HPV types in the population and among women with cervical lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Approximately 10,000 liquid cervical cell samples from w...

Survivin is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family. Under normal circumstances, survivin is expressed in embryonic and fetal tissues, but is completely downregulated in normal adult tissues. Notably, this protein has been found to be prominently expressed in a variety of human malignant tumors. The present study was designed to evaluate the possible role of survivin in the tumori...
