BACKGROUND We tested the hypothesis that states with higher rates of cancers associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) would have lower HPV vaccine coverage. METHODS We gathered state-level data on HPV-related cancer rates and HPV vaccine initiation coverage for girls and boys, separately, and HPV vaccine follow-through (i.e., receipt of 3 doses among those initiating the series) for girls o...

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...

INTRODUCTION Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent and widespread sexually transmitted disease (STD), causing nearly all cases of cervical cancer worldwide, and is of public health concern. However, HPV has received little public health attention, is not a reportable STD, and often is absent from the repertoire of STDs. In addition, there is pervasive misinformation about HPV...

Cervical cancer often affects individuals aged <50 years, with the main cause being a long-lasting infection certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Prevention cervical includes screening tests and HPV vaccine and, if found early, it can be treatable. Metastatic disease, however, is more lethal significant problem worldwide due to treatment limitations. Clinicians should discuss early d...

OBJECTIVES Cervical cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths among South African women. Viral types associated with cervical cancer may differ not only between countries and regions, but possibly also between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and noninfected women. METHODS In a population with high HIV prevalence, human papillomavirus (HPV)-type infections detected w...

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...

introduction and aims: the role of human papillomavirus (hpv) in the etiology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc) is not clear. previous studies have found highly variable (from 0% to 67%) prevalence of hpv in escc tumor. however, prevalence of hpv in escc tumor seems to be higher in areas with high incidence of escc , such as china and south africa. iran is one of the areas of the wor...

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) of the uterine cervix is a rare type cervical cancer. The etiopathogenesis LELC involves consideration human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein–Barr virus infection. We present case 57-year-old female diagnosed with unique HPV-59 absence virus, which characteristic for European women. treatment included radical hysterectomy nerve-sparing hysterectomy, has n...
