| different human papillomavirus 16/18 infection in chinese non-small cell lung cancer patients living in wuhan, china. | inconsistency in the prevalence of infection by human papillomavirus (hpv) in lung cancer patients was found between different countries with racial and geographic variations. our previous reports have indicated that a high-risk hpv 16/18 dna was frequently detected in chinese lung cancer patients living in taichung, taiwan (cheng et al. cancer res. 2001;61:2799-803). thus, we conducted this study to verify whether there was a similar hpv 16/18 infection prevalence in lung cancer patients from w ... | 2006 | 16690730 |
| presence of human papillomavirus in pterygium in taiwan. | to evaluate the prevalence and possible role of human papillomavirus (hpv) in the formation of pterygia in patients in taiwan, a tropical country with high prevalence of pterygium. | 2010 | 19907287 |
| risk of oral nonmalignant lesions associated with human papillomavirus infection, betel quid chewing, and cigarette smoking in taiwan: an integrated molecular and epidemiologic study. | in contrast to previous studies about the association of oral squamous cell carcinoma with human papillomavirus (hpv) 16/18, the associations between nonmalignant oral lesions (chronic inflammation, submucous fibrosis, leukoplakia, and squamous papilloma) and hpv are much less well understood. | 2006 | 16390239 |
| frequent fhit gene loss of heterozygosity in human papillomavirus-infected non-smoking female lung cancer in taiwan. | the fragile histidine triad (fhit), located in chromosome region 3p14.2, had been reported to be a frequent allele with loss of heterozygosity (loh) in smoking lung cancer and hpv-associated cervical cancer. additionally, fhit loh may act as a tumor suppressor gene to involve in smoking-related lung tumorigenesis and hpv-related cervical tumorigenesis, respectively. in our previous report, a high prevalence of hpv 16/18 infection has been observed in non-smoking female lung cancer patients, and ... | 2006 | 15935551 |
| prognostic impact of p16, p53, epidermal growth factor receptor, and human papillomavirus in oropharyngeal cancer in a betel nut-chewing area. | to evaluate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (hpv) and the prognostic significance of epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr), p53, and p16 among patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma. | 2010 | 20479383 |
| type-specific distribution of hpv along the full spectrum of cervical carcinogenesis in taiwan: an indication of viral oncogenic potential. | the distributional trend of different types of human papillomavirus (hpv) along the spectrum of cervical diseases from non-neoplastic hpv infection (normal), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (cin1), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 (cin2/3) to invasive cancer (cc) reflects the transformation potential of each hpv type. | 2008 | 18502563 |
| lower prevalence but favorable survival for human papillomavirus-related squamous cell carcinoma of tonsil in taiwan. | human papillomavirus (hpv) is frequently detected in squamous cell carcinoma of tonsil (tscc) among the western population. however, the only reported study on chinese patients in the english literature demonstrated absence of hpv in tscc. to evaluate the prevalence and clinical significance of hpv-related tscc in taiwan, we performed pcr with my09/my11 consensus primers and in situ hybridization to study 111 tscc samples. the results showed that only 12.6% tscc were hpv-positive. the favorable ... | 2008 | 17418614 |
| seroprevalence of human papillomaviruses and chlamydia trachomatis and cervical cancer risk: nested case-control study. | a nested case-control study of invasive and in situ cervical cancer was performed within a community-based cohort of 13,595 taiwanese women assembled in 1991, with a follow-up period of 9 years. baseline serum or plasma samples were analysed for antibodies against human papillomavirus (hpv) types 6, 16 and 18 and chlamydia trachomatis. in total, 114 cases (42 incident cases identified during follow-up and 72 prevalent cases identified at baseline) and 519 matched controls were included in the st ... | 2007 | 17325353 |
| seroprevalence of human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 in the general population in taiwan: implication for optimal age of human papillomavirus vaccination. | the optimal age for administration of recently approved prophylactic human papillomavirus (hpv) vaccines remains undetermined. | 2007 | 17210269 |
