Association of human papilloma viruses with adnexal tumors
Background: Some studies have reported a correlation between adnexal tumors and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. We performed this study to determine the incidence of HPV infection in adnexal tumor samples to further clarify any potential link between HPV and the pathogenesis of adnexal tumors.Methods: A total of 65 formalin-fixed, paraff...
متن کاملImmune responses to human papilloma viruses.
HPV infection in the genital tract is common in young sexually active individuals, the majority of whom clear the infection without overt clinical disease. However most of those who develop benign lesions eventually mount an effective cell mediated immune response and the lesions regress. Regression of ano-genital warts is accompanied histologically by a CD4+ T cell dominated Th1 response; anim...
متن کاملHuman Papilloma Viruses and Breast Cancer
PURPOSE Human papillomaviruses (HPV) may have a role in some breast cancers. The purpose of this study is to fill important gaps in the evidence. These gaps are: (i) confirmation of the presence of high risk for cancer HPVs in breast cancers, (ii) evidence of HPV infections in benign breast tissues prior to the development of HPV-positive breast cancer in the same patients, (iii) evidence that ...
متن کاملHuman papilloma viruses: new challenges for infection prevention
HPV infections are caused by small nonenveloped DNA viruses that infect basal epithelial cells. It is in these cells that the virus replicates before being shed from mucous membranes or from skin. HPV virions are comprised of a circular double stranded DNA genome enclosed in a 55-60 nanometer protein capsid (Figure 1). The lack of a lipid coat means that HPVs are classified as non-enveloped vir...
متن کاملHuman Papilloma Viruses and Breast Cancer – Assessment of Causality
High risk human papilloma viruses (HPVs) may have a causal role in some breast cancers. Case-control studies, conducted in many different countries, consistently indicate that HPVs are more frequently present in breast cancers as compared to benign breast and normal breast controls (odds ratio 4.02). The assessment of causality of HPVs in breast cancer is difficult because (i) the HPV viral loa...
