background and objective: human papillomavirus (hpv) is one of the possible etiologic factors  in development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc). in this study we aimed to study the  role of hpv in escc. patients and methods:in this study, 140 cases of escc were analyzed for the hpv dna by  polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using gp5+/gp6+ primers for l1 open reading frame (orf) to  am...

Condyloma acuminatum, is a rare sexually transmitted disease. The virus responsible for condyloma is human papillomavirus. HPV-6 and HPV-11 are the most commonly detected HPV genotypes, but at least 20 other HPV genotypes have occasionally been found in genital wart tissue specimens. In fact genital HPV infection is common among sexually active populations. This disease may occur at any age af...

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...

conclusions hpv type 16 was detected in only 9.67% of malignant epithelial tumors. it appears that hpv infection plays a relatively minor role in the pathogenesis of ovarian carcinomas. results out of the eight cases with functional cysts only one case (12.5%) expressed hpv. no hpv expression was seen in cases with benign and borderline tumors. out of the 31 cases with one malignant surface epi...

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. Me...

Background: environmental factors may play a role in colon cancer. In this view, several studies investigated tumor samples for the presence of various viral DNA with conflictiong results.  The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) in patients with colorectal carcinomas. Materials and methods: In this  study, we co...

Background & Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of genital warts and some anogenital cancers in male and female subjects which is commonly transmitted by sexual contacts. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of HPV genotypes in 10,266 Iranian male and female population, according to their age. Meth...
