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 beheshti universi...

background: this study was performed to compare the prevalence of hpv infection and high risk hpv genotypes [16, 18] between monogamous and polygamous women, in zabol, iran. methods:   this cross sectional study was conducted in zabol in 2006 - 2007. two hundred sixty five married women attend­ing the gynecology clinic for cervical disease screening entered to this study. one hundred sixty two ...

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...

results human papillomavirus was found in 62.1% of the samples obtained from the patients. among the hr and lr types, hpv-6 was the major genotype 64.8%. type 16 and 18 were the most frequent hr-hpv types (presented in 26% of the patient), followed by type 50s (24.7%), 45, 30s, and 11 (1.8% from each). multiple hpv infections were presented in 40.7% of the positive genotyping specimens. backgro...

background &objective: breast cancer is the most common female malignancy. detection of dna of human papillomaviruses (hpvs) in breast carcinomas suggests that the virus may play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of hpvs genotypes 6, 11, 16, 18 and 31 in paraffin-embedded tissue samples of invasive breast carcinomas. methods: thr...

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies are the most common cancers and account for nearly half of all cancer-related deaths in Iran. There was a strong association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and urogenital cancers, in particular the cervix. However, there is no clear causal relationship in all types of cancers, including gastrointestinal cancers. Therefore, the present...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is increasing in prevalence and typically occurs in younger patients than human papillomavirus-negative squamous cell carcinoma. While imaging features of human papillomavirus-positive versus human papillomavirus-negative squamous cell carcinoma nodal metastases have been described, characteristics dist...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas have a better survival rate than those with human papillomavirus-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas. DWI characterizes biologically relevant tumor features, and the generated ADC may also provide prognostic information. We explored whether human papillomavirus status and ADC va...

Background and Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women throughout the world. There are controversial reports on the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in breast carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of HPV-DNA in invasive breast carcinoma to determine the association between HPV infection and breast carcinoma. Methods: The study inc...
