Caracterización inmunofenotípica del cáncer de cuello uterino asociado a la infección por Virus Papiloma Humano (HPV)
2006
Se llevó a cabo un estudio inmunohistoquímico incluyendo un panel de 18 biomarcadores y un estudio molecular en 81 biopsias de cáncer de cuello uterino (59 carcinomas epidermoides y 19 adenocarcinomas cervicales) diagnosticados en el Servicio de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia, con la finalidad de realizar la caracterización inmunohistoquímica de esta neoplasia invasora y determinar la presencia de ADN-HPV asociado. El estudio inmunohistoquímico se realizó, en tumores cervicales y tejido cervical benigno como control, mediante la técnica de avidina-biotina, interpretado mediante una escala semicuantitativa. Se determinó la presencia y genotipificación de A…
Estudio molecular del condiloma acuminado: correlación clínica e histopatológica, genotipo del virus del papiloma humano y factores de riesgo asociad…
2015
INTRODUCCIÓN: Los condilomas acuminados(CA) se encuentran entre las enfermedades más comunes de transmisión sexual. Aunque habitualmente se entiende que es el virus del papiloma humano (VPH) de bajo riesgo, genotipos 6 y 11 los que están asociados con el CA, sólo existen un número limitado de estudios publicados que informan de la prevalencia específica del genotipo del VPH. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue evaluar la prevalencia de genotipos del VPH para un elevado número de casos que involucran tanto a hombres y mujeres y poder evaluar el beneficio potencial de una vacuna cuatrivalente (genotipos 6, 11, 16, y 18) contra el VPH en Valencia (España ) y analizar los factores de riesgo asoc…
POTENTIAL IMPACT OF A NONAVALENT VACCINE ON HPV RELATED LOW-AND HIGH-GRADE CERVICAL INTRAEPITHELIAL LESIONS
2016
Introduction: Demonstration of the role of persistent infection, with high-risk (HR) human papillomaviruses (HPV) as the causal agent of cervical cancer made the development of first and second generation prophylactic vaccines. Bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines are at the moment available in Europe. In 2014 is licensing a nonavalent HPV vaccine against HPV types: 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58. The aim of our study was to evaluate the potential impact on HPV infection and related low- and high-grade cervical lesions (LSIL, HSIL) of the candidate nonavalent HPV vaccine, compared to the impact of the quadrivalent, in a female population living in Sicily. Materials and Methods: HPV genotypes w…
Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance-favour reactive compared to atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance-favour dysplasi…
2005
Abstract Background and objectives: The current study compared the cervical cytological sub-category “atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance-favour reactive (AFR)”, recently recommended to be eliminated by the Bethesda system, to the sub-category “atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance-favour dysplasia (ASC-US)”, in terms of prevalence of coexistent squamous intraepithelial lesions of either low-grade (LSIL) or high-grade (HSIL) and rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Study design: One hundred women with AFR and 100 with ASC-US were consecutively included in the study. All patients underwent colposcopy, followed by biopsy when necessary, and were screen…
Commonalities between ENT Specialists and Oral Medicine Experts: Old HPV Diseases and New Oral HPV-Cancer along the Borders
2021
A human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is globally one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections of the mucous membranes (genital, anal and oral). Over the last decade, an increasing number of young patients have been infected due to the changes in sexual habits in the general population. The majority of the lesions are benign; however, substantial scientific evidence has suggested a role for the HPV family in the carcinogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is proposed that dentists, in addition to ENT specialists, should apply standardized management protocols in order to construct a well-defined pathway in terms of diagnosis, which is based on a PCR diagnostic t…
Assessment of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Propensity towards HPV Vaccine of Young Adult Students in Italy
2020
Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI), representing the main cause of genital warts and cervical cancer. This cross-sectional study evaluated knowledge and attitudes about HPV infection, related diseases, and prevention and propensity towards HPV vaccine among undergraduate students. Methods: An online and written survey about HPV and its prevention, targeted to young adults of both genders, was addressed to students attending health sciences and other schools at Universities of Genoa and Bari. Results: The overall median knowledge and attitude scores were 56.3% (25&ndash
