influence of human papillomavirus on the clinical presentation of oropharyngeal carcinoma in the united states.much of what is known about the significance of human papillomavirus (hpv) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is derived from single-institution retrospective studies, post hoc analyses of tissue specimens from clinical trials, and tissue bank studies with a small sample size. the objective of this study is to investigate the impact of hpv on the frequency and clinical presentation of oropharyngeal carcinoma in a large, national sample with information from patients who underwent hpv testi ...201728304083
e6/e7-p53-pou2f1-cthrc1 axis promotes cervical cancer metastasis and activates wnt/pcp pathway.cervical cancer is an infectious cancer and the most common gynecologic cancer worldwide. e6/e7, the early genes of the high-risk mucosal human papillomavirus type, play key roles in the carcinogenic process of cervical cancer. however, little was known about its roles in modulating tumor microenvironment, particular extracellular matrix (ecm). in this study, we found that e6/e7 could regulate multiple ecm proteins, especially collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (cthrc1). cthrc1 is highly ...201728303973
multiplex polymerase chain reaction for the detection of high-risk-human papillomavirus types in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cervical tissues.detecting high-risk-human papillomavirus (hpv) types has become an integral part of the cervical cancer screening programmes. this study aimed to develop a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (pcr) for identification of hpv types 16 and 18 along with the beta globin gene in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded cervical biopsy specimens. a total of 59 samples from patients with cervical abnormalities were tested. hpv 16 positivity was 50% in cervical cancers and 52.9% in cervical intraepithelial ...201728303830
dysregulated expression of microrna-150 in human papillomavirus-induced lesions of k14-hpv16 transgenic mice.high-risk human papillomavirus (hpv) infection is one of the major causes of infection-related cancers worldwide. micrornas (mirnas) are a family of non-coding rnas (ncrnas), whose dysregulated levels may cause an aberrant expression of genes involved in oncogenic pathways and consequently lead to cancer development. this is the case of the mirna-150 (mir-150), whose expression in hpv-induced lesions remains unclear and the present work aims to clarify it. we employed k14-hpv16 mice, which expre ...201728302562
rna chromogenic in situ hybridization assay with clinical automated platform is a sensitive method in detecting high-risk human papillomavirus in squamous cell carcinoma.detection of active human papillomavirus (hpv) is clinically important, as its presence has been shown to correlate with favorable clinical outcomes and better response to treatment in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (scc). using a clinical automated platform, we compared the performance of commercially available hpv dna and rna in situ hybridization (ish) probes in archival tissues of 57 scc. importantly, a clinical automated platform gives 1) consistent and reproducible results for hpv ...201728302536

cost-effectiveness of cervical cancer screening methods in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review.the incidence of cervical cancer in low- and middle-income countries (lmics) is five times higher than that observed in high-income countries (hics). this discrepancy is largely attributed to the implementation of cytology-based screening programmes in hics. however, due to reduced health system infrastructure requirements, hpv testing (self- and provider-collected) and visual inspection with acetic acid (via) have been proposed as alternatives that may be better suited to lmics. knowing the rel ...201728297074
endocervical adenocarcinoma with morphologic features of both usual and gastric types: clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses and high-risk hpv detection by in situ hybridization.the fourth edition of the world health organization classification set up new entities of endocervical adenocarcinoma (eca), namely the "usual type" and "gastric type." these 2 types are considered to be distinct histogenetically because of their differing immunophenotypes, human papillomavirus (hpv) status, and prognoses. usual-type ecas (u-ecas) are virtually always associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-hpv) infection. gastric-type ecas (g-ecas) are believed not to be associated w ...201728296678

human papillomavirus vaccine update.rates of cancers attributable to human papillomavirus (hpv) are rising. a safe and extremely effective vaccine is available to prevent many of these cancers. studies have shown that health care providers' recommendation to immunize is the most important factor in parents' decision. parents of all adolescent boys and girls should receive a strong and unequivocal recommendation to vaccinate their child against hpv at the 11- or 12-year-old well child visit. ideally, adolescents complete their hpv ...201728292448
transoral robotic surgery with radial forearm free flap reconstruction: case control analysis.the resection of large oropharyngeal tumors traditionally involves a lip-splitting mandibulotomy for adequate margin visualization and free flap reconstruction of the surgical defect. transoral robotic surgery (tors) has emerged as a technique that can resect large and complex oropharyngeal tumors, avoiding a lip-splitting approach. the aim of this study is to compare the lip-splitting mandibulotomy approach versus tors for the management of advanced stage oropharyngeal carcinomas.201728292318
performing piety in sexual health research: gender, health and evangelical christianities in a mexican human papillomavirus (hpv) study.recent research suggests that health surveillance experiences like clinical trial participation might have unanticipated social consequences. i investigate how evangelical christians participating in longitudinal, observational sexual health research incorporate that long-term medical surveillance into their religious practice. this exploratory research focuses on mexican cristianos' participation in the cuernavaca arm of the multinational 'human papillomavirus in men' ('him') study, which teste ...201728292201
hpv-transgenic mouse models: tools for studying the cancer-associated immune response.for decades, research on the pathogenesis of papillomavirus-induced lesions, particularly of human papillomavirus (hpv) has relied on the use of animal models. among these, hpv-transgenic mice are some of the most frequently employed. after some initial unsuccessful attempts, researchers have succeeded in targeting the expression of one or more hpv-16 oncogenes to squamous epithelia, closely mimicking the lesions observed in cancer patients. the present review describes the relevance and usefuln ...201728385491
