Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 680: Human Papillomavirus and Associated Cancers: A Review
Rysavy The human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. Most HPV infections clear spontaneously within 2 years of infection; however, persistent infection can result in a wide array of diseases, ranging from genital warts to cancer. Most cases of cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers are due to HPV infection, with cervical cancer being one of the leading causes of cancer death in women worldwide. Screening is available for HPV and cervical cancer, but is not available everywhere, particularly in lower-resource settings. HPV infection disproportionally affects individuals liv...

Cervical microbiota dysbiosis associated with high-risk Human Papillomavirus infection
In this study we identified significantly lower abundance ofLactobacillus mucosae in women with HR-HPV infection compared to the control group. Furthermore, changes in bacterial diversity were noted inLactobacillus non-dominant (LND) samples compared toLactobacillus-dominant (LD) in both HR-HPV-infected and control groups. LND samples in HR-HPV-infected women exhibited a cervical dysbiotic state, characterized byLactobacillus deficiency. In turn, the LD HR-HPV group showed an overrepresentation ofLactobacillus helveticus. In summary, our study highlighted the distinctive roles ofL.mucosae andL.helveticus in HR-HPV infectio...

Intratumoral therapies in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: A systematic review and future perspectives
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) constitute a diverse category of cancer sites, encompassing oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses [1].These malignancies represent a significant global health challenge, affecting countries at various levels of development. According to data from The Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) in 2020, HNSCC ranked as the seventh most common cancer worldwide [2]. Projections for 2030 predict an alarming global rise, primarily driven by tumors associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV)[1]. (Source: Cancer Treatment Reviews)

Medical students' knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV vaccine and head and neck cancer
Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2024 Dec 31;20(1):2344248. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2024.2344248. Epub 2024 Apr 24.ABSTRACTThe Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection that significantly affects the population worldwide. HPV preventive methods include vaccination, prophylactics, and education. Different types of cancers associated with HPV usually take years or decades to develop after infections, such as Head and Neck Cancer(HNC). Therefore, HPV prevention can be considered cancer prevention. A sample of medical students in Puerto Rico was evaluated to assess their knowledge about HPV, HPV vaccine, and HNC throu...

Urine high-risk human papillomavirus testing as an alternative to routine cervical screening: A comparative diagnostic accuracy study of two urine collection devices using a randomised study design trial
CONCLUSIONS: Testing of FVU-device-collected urine for HPV was superior to standard-pot-collected urine in colposcopy attendees and has promising sensitivity for CIN2+ detection. General population HPV testing of FVU-device-collected urine will establish its clinical performance and acceptability as an alternative to routine cervical screening.PMID:38660737 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17831 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus infection among women with diabetes mellitus in Accra, Ghana
CONCLUSION: Our study points to a high prevalence of hr-HPV among women with DM and highlights a need for glycemic control among them as this could contribute to lowering their odds of hr-HPV infection. The low overall rates of HPV vaccination and prior screening also indicate a need to build capacity and expand the scope of education and services offered to women with DM as regards cervical precancer screening.PMID:38664791 | DOI:10.1186/s12905-024-03078-z (Source: Cancer Control)

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 667: Unveiling the Role of Human Papillomavirus in Urogenital Carcinogenesis a Comprehensive Review
n Human papillomavirus (HPV), an oncogenic DNA virus, is the most common sexually transmitted virus and significant public health concern globally. Despite the substantial prevalence of HPV infection among men, routine testing remains elusive due to the lack of approved HPV tests and the complexity of detection methods. Various studies have explored the link between HPV and genitourinary cancers, revealing different associations influenced by geographic variation, histological subtype and methodological differences. These findings underscore the importance of further research to elucidate the role of HPV in male urogen...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1662: The Causes and Consequences of DNA Damage and Chromosomal Instability Induced by Human Papillomavirus
Mehta Cosper High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the main cause of cervical, oropharyngeal, and anogenital cancers, which are all treated with definitive chemoradiation therapy when locally advanced. HPV proteins are known to exploit the host DNA damage response to enable viral replication and the epithelial differentiation protocol. This has far-reaching consequences for the host genome, as the DNA damage response is critical for the maintenance of genomic stability. HPV+ cells therefore have increased DNA damage, leading to widespread genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer, which can contribute to tumo...

Healthcare Spending and Systemic Bevacizumab for Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is a rare, costly condition linked to human papillomavirus. Standard of care is serial surgical debridement. Many adjunctive therapies have been trialed, with recent success with systemic bevacizumab. This paper examines healthcare spending associated with systemic bevacizumab use for JoRRP and compares it to healthcare spending for surgical care alone to determine whether bevacizumab has a financial benefit.
