Many countries, mainly high- and upper-middle income, have implemented human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs, with 47 million women receiving the full course of vaccine (three doses) in 2014. To evaluate potential impact HPV vaccines reduction HPV-related disease, we aimed to estimate type distribution burden anogenital head neck cancers attributable types (HPVs 16/18/31/33/45/52/58/6/11) included currently licensed vaccines.
One third to one half of penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are related human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Viral detection is usually carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or other molecular methods. In this study, we evaluated p16(INK)⁴(a) immunohistochemical expression, which simpler and less costly, as a potential marker high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection in SCC.We pathologically classified 202 invasive performed genotyping short PCR fragment (SPF)₁₀ immunohistochemistry. We...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been reported in 12-82% of penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). There is an association the virus with basaloid and warty but prevalence variable. The causes these variations are not clear. They may be owing to geographic differences, use different techniques detect HPV, status original paraffin blocks, or variable criteria tumor classification. aims study were determine HPV SCC subtypes using a sensitive technique, investigate genotypes involved, search for...
From the pathogenic point of view, penile cancers may be grouped in human papillomavirus-related and unrelated tumors, each one them with distinctive morphologic features. The former are predominantly composed small, undifferentiated basaloid cells, more or less prominent koilocytic changes, latter keratinizing differentiated squamous cells. same cellular types observed precancerous lesions. On basis these observations, we constructed a novel nomenclature for lesions classified as...
There are at least two different etio‐pathogenic pathways for the development of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC): one associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) and another independent HPV. We aimed to describe histological characteristics HPV‐associated ‐independent tumors determine best strategy identify HPV in VSCC. A single paraffin block was available review from a series 1,594 VSCCs. In all cases DNA detection analyzed using SPF10PCR/DEIA/LiPA25 system p16...
Abstract There is limited understanding of epidemiology and time trends human papilloma virus (HPV)‐driven head neck cancers (HNC) in Japan, especially outside the oropharynx. To assess HPV‐driven HNC, a non‐interventional study (BROADEN) HNC patients diagnosed 2008–2009 2018–2019 was conducted Japan. Adult with oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal, laryngeal, hypopharyngeal or oral cavity were included this study. HPV centrally tested using p16INK4a immunohistochemistry, HPV‐DNA PCR E6*I mRNA....
Contribution over time of human papillomavirus (HPV) types in cancers has been poorly documented. Such data is fundamental to measure current HPV vaccines impact the years come. We estimated type-specific distribution a large international series invasive cervical cancer (ICC) 70 prior vaccination. Paraffin embedded ICC cases diagnosed between 1940 and 2007 were retrieved from eleven countries Central-South America, Asia Europe. Included reported have low-medium screening uptake. Information...
Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the cervix are rare with a very aggressive course. The human papillomavirus (HPV) has been linked to its etiology. objective this study is describe HPV prevalence and genotype distribution NET.Forty-nine histological neuroendocrine features were identified among 10,575 invasive cervical cancer (ICC) cases from an international study. DNA detection was done using SPF10/DEIA /LiPA25 system. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for markers (chromogranin A,...
The careHPV assay is a test for high-risk (HR) human papillomaviruses (HPV) detection designed to be affordable in resource-poor settings. We evaluated the performance of screening among 1052 women living with HIV/AIDS included HARP (HPV Africa Research Partnership) study Burkina Faso (BF) and South (SA). Cervical samples were tested HR-HPV by INNO-LiPA HPV genotyping Extra assays. All had Pap smear testing, visual inspection acetic acid/Lugol's iodine (VIA/VILI) colposcopy. biopsies...
Most human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated vulvar squamous cell carcinomas (VSCCs) originate from high-grade intraepithelial lesions, also named usual type neoplasia. However, growing evidence suggests that morphologic studies have limitations in predicting HPV status lesions. We aimed to evaluate adjacent lesions a series of DNA HPV-positive VSCCs, focusing on unusual histologic patterns mimicking differentiated neoplasia (dVIN) or lichen sclerosus (LS). identified 326 VSCC with at least 1...
