| genital human papilloma virus infection in oslo studied by dot blot dna hybridization and the polymerase chain reaction. | samples from patients with genital condyloma acuminata or with cervical condylomas and/or dysplasia and from women without cytological/clinical evidence of cervical affection were examined by dot blot dna hybridization or the polymerase chain reaction (pcr). the pcr was much more sensitive than dot blot, more than doubling the human papilloma virus (hpv) findings. hpv dna, mainly hpv 6/11, was detected in 18 of 19 biopsies of condyloma acuminata, whereas hpv 16 was most frequently detected in th ... | 1991 | 1655965 |
| human papillomavirus infection in norwegian women with cervical cancer. | the objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of human papillomavirus (hpv) infections in norwegian women with cervical cancer. we used the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and southern blot techniques to assess the prevalence of hpv in cervical biopsies of 133 women admitted to the norwegian radium hospital for treatment of cervical cancer. at the time of sampling (from february 1988 to april 1989) about 85% of norwegian women with cervical cancer were treated at the norwegi ... | 1994 | 8167008 |
| summary of avoidable cancers in the nordic countries. | an overview is given of the most important known causes of cancer in the five nordic countries and the resulting number of cancers that are potentially avoidable. the main causes include active and passive smoking, alcohol consumption, exposure to asbestos and other occupational carcinogens, solar and ionizing radiation, obesity, human papillomavirus infection in the female genital tract and infection with helicobacter pylori. the organs most commonly affected are those of the respiratory system ... | 1997 | 9462826 |
| dna- versus rna-based methods for human papillomavirus detection in cervical neoplasia. | to compare dna-based and mrna-based methods for detection of high-grade cervical neoplasia in norway. | 2005 | 15943992 |
| hpv mrna test in women with minor cervical lesions: experience of the university hospital of north norway. | in the norwegian cervical cancer screening programme tests for detection of human papillomavirus (hpv) are used to triage women with minor cytological cervical lesions. the material in this study comprises samples from 1798 women in the period 2006-2008. the hpv test was performed according to the guidelines of the norwegian cancer registry. the hpv mrna test (pretect hpv-proofer) detects and types 5 high-risk genotypes (16, 18, 31, 33 and 45). the hpv mrna results were compared to cytology and ... | 2010 | 20638416 |
| incidence and predictors of human papillomavirus-6, -11, -16, and -18 infection in young norwegian women. | : natural history data on human papillomavirus (hpv) incidence and its risk factors have not been reported on from young women in norway. we report on incidence and predictors of hpv-6, 11, 16, and 18; 6 or 11; 16 or 18; or all 4. | 2011 | 21301390 |
| a clinical study of cervical dysplasia in long-term survivors of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. | this retrospective study examined the prevalence of and risk factors for cervical dysplasia and genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infection in 89 female recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-sct) between 1985 and 2005 who survived for more than 5 years after transplantation. all patients underwent regular gynecologic examination and cervical cytological testing. the incidence rates of cervical cytological abnormalities and hpv infection were calculated. various clinical param ... | 2011 | 21963879 |
| cervical cancer prevented by screening: long-term incidence trends by morphology in norway. | both major morphologic types of cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and adenocarcinoma (ac), are causally related to persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrhpv), but screening has primarily been effective at preventing scc. we analysed incidence trends of cervical cancer in norway stratified by morphologies over 55 years, and projected scc incidence in the absence of screening by assessing the changes in the incidence rate of ac. the cancer registry of norway was ... | 2015 | 25833121 |
| risk factors for aggressive recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in adults and juveniles. | in this cohort study we examined whether gender, age at onset, observation time or human papillomavirus (hpv) genotype are risk factors for an aggressive clinical course in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (rrp). clinical data from patient records comprised gender, age at onset, date of first endolaryngeal procedure with biopsy, date of last follow-up, total number of endolaryngeal procedures, and complications during the observation period. disease was defined as juvenile (jorrp) or adult o ... | 2014 | 25419846 |
| recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: hpv genotypes and risk of high-grade laryngeal neoplasia. | patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (rrp) in norway treated between 1987 and 2009 were recruited to this cohort study. they were followed from disease onset and data recorded until january 2012. here, we describe the distribution of human papillomavirus (hpv) genotypes, the prevalence of multiple hpv infections, and the risk of high-grade laryngeal neoplasia and respiratory tract invasive carcinoma in a large cohort of patients with rrp. we also examined whether hpv genotype, gend ... | 2014 | 24918765 |
| prospective study of human papillomavirus seropositivity and risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer. | cutaneous human papillomaviruses (hpvs) have been associated with squamous cell carcinoma (scc) in case-control studies, but there are limited data from prospective studies assessing whether virus exposure predicts risk of future cancer development. two major biobanks, the southern sweden microbiology biobank (1971-2003) and the janus biobank (1973-2003) in norway, containing samples from 850,000 donors, were searched for incident skin cancer for up to 30 years using registry linkages. altogethe ... | 2012 | 22419740 |
| association between the hla dqb1*0301 gene and human papillomavirus infection in high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. | this study describes the distribution of dqb1genes in norwegian women treated for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin). formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 170 biopsy specimens with diagnoses of cin ii (n = 54) or cin iii (n = 116) were dqb1-typed using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. the follow-up period for cases was 13 to 15 years. the control material comprised blood samples and endocervical brushes from 213 women without cin. both cases and contr ... | 1999 | 12090587 |
