Time trends in human papillomavirus prevalence and genotype distribution in vulvar carcinoma in Norway

ConclusionsThe prevalence of HPV in vulvar squamous cell carcinomas in Norway was significantly higher in 2000 –2005 than in 1970–1975. The three predominant genotypes were HPV 16, 33 and 18 in both time periods. However, several other HPV genotypes have emerged over the last decades. HPV-positivity was associated with better overall survival.
