Multicenter international phase III clinical trials using multivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines for cervical cancer (CC) prevention are underway. As HPV immunity is type specific, defining HPV genotype prevalence in different regions to ascertain whether predominant types differ geographically is considerably important prior to vaccine implementation. This study aimed to define HPV genotypes present in CC and high-grade dysplasia among women in Melbourne, Australia. HPV genotype analysis of a cross section of women in Melbourne with cervical dysplasia/cancer was performed. A total of 493 cervical biopsies from patients being treated for moderate (n = 122) or severe (n = 180) cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN II/III) or CC (n = 191) were tested for HPV genotypes using the PGMY09/11 primer system and line blot assay. HPV detection rates were 63.9%, 72.8%, and 86.9% in CIN II, CIN III, and CC biopsies, respectively. The most prevalent HPV genotypes among CC biopsies were HPV-16 (52.9%), HPV-18 (18.3%), HPV-45 (6.3%), HPV-39 (3.1%), and HPV-73 (2.6%). Multiple HPV infections, comprising two to five types, were identified in 14.4% of biopsies, being significantly fewer (5.2%) among CC biopsies (P < 0.0001). These results indicate that the two most prevalent CC-associated HPV genotypes in Australia parallel those described internationally, with type variations thereafter.

Recently, there has been a steady growth of cervical cancer all over the world, especially in Russia. Patients with cervical cancer have become much younger. At the same time, the human papillomavirus is not only the main factor in the neoplastic process, but it is also one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world. The aim of the paper is to assess the prevalence and characteristics of human papillomavirus genotypes in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Materials and Methods. During the periodic screening we examined 213 women of a reproductive age with HPV infection. All patients underwent liquid-based cytology and human papillomavirus genotyping by polymerase chain reaction. Results. We revealed that the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among women with papillomavirus infection was 80.3 % (n=171). According to human papillomavirus genotyping, HPV 16 (38 %) and HPV 33 (32 %) prevailed. We also observed positive high correlation between high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and HPV 18 (r=+0.759, p=0.001), a negative mean correlation between HPV 45 and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) (r=-0.643, p=0.002). A cohort of patients with severe intraepithelial cervical lesions demonstrated high viral load rates. Conclusion. According to the results obtained, we established the dominance of HPV 16 and HPV 33 genotypes in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. There were significant differences between HSIL and LSIL patients with HPV 18 and HPV 45. There was also a correlation between an increase in the viral load with the severity of the pathological process. Keywords: human papillomavirus, intraepithelial cervical neoplasms, cervical cancer. В последние годы в мире, особенно в России, наблюдается неуклонный рост и «омолаживание» рака шейки матки. При этом вирус папилломы человека является не только основным фактором прогрессирования неопластического процесса, но и одной из наиболее распространенных инфекций, предаваемых половым путем, в мире. Цель. Оценить распространенность и характеристику генотипов папилломавирусной инфекции у пациенток с цервикальными интраэпителиальными неоплазиями. Материалы и методы. Проведено обследование 213 пациенток репродуктивного возраста с ВПЧ-инфекцией, пришедших на профилактический осмотр. Всем женщинам было выполнено цитологическое исследование жидкостным методом и генотипирование вируса папилломы человека методом полимеразной цепной реакции. Результаты. Распространенность цервикальных интраэпителиальных неоплазий среди женщин с папилломавирусной инфекцией составила 80,3 % (171 пациентка). Согласно данным генотипирования вируса папилломы человека превалировал 16-й (38 %) и 33-й типы (32 %). Выявлена положительная высокая корреляционная связь между цервикальными неоплазиями высокой степени онкогенного риска (HSIL) и 18-м типом ВПЧ-инфекции (r=+0,759 при р=0,001), отрицательная средняя корреляционная связь 45-го типа ВПЧ с низкой степенью онкогенного риска (LSIL) (r=-0,643 при р=0,002). Продемонстрированы высокие показатели вирусной нагрузки в когорте пациенток с тяжелыми внутриэпителиальными цервикальными поражениями. Выводы. По результатам полученных данных установлено доминирование 16-го и 33-го генотипов ВПЧ при цервикальных интраэпителиальных неоплазиях с наличием значимых различий между пациентами с HSIL и LSIL в отношении 18-го и 45-го типов, а также связь роста уровня вирусной нагрузки с увеличением степени тяжести патологического процесса. Ключевые слова: вирус папилломы человека, интраэпителиальные новообразования шейки матки, рак шейки матки.

Background There is currently limited information about human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distribution in women in the South Pacific region. This study’s objective was to determine HPV genotypes present in cervical cancer (CC) and precancers (cervical intraepithelial lesion (CIN) 3) in Fiji. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis evaluated archival CC and CIN3 biopsy samples from 296 women of Melanesian Fijian ethnicity (n = 182, 61.5%) and Indo-Fijian ethnicity (n = 114, 38.5%). HPV genotypes were evaluated using the INNO-LiPA assay in archival samples from CC (n = 174) and CIN3 (n = 122) among women in Fiji over a 5-year period from 2003 to 2007. Results: Overall, 99% of the specimens tested were HPV DNA-positive for high-risk genotypes, with detection rates of 100%, 97.4% and 100% in CIN3, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenosquamous carcinoma biopsies, respectively. Genotypes 16 and 18 were the most common (77%), followed by HPV 31 (4.3%). Genotype HPV 16 was the most common identified (59%) in CIN3 specimens, followed by HPV 31 (9%) and HPV 52 (6.6%). Multiple genotypes were detected in 12.5–33.3% of specimens, depending on the pathology. Conclusion: These results indicated that the two most prevalent CC-associated HPV genotypes in Fiji parallel those described in other regions worldwide, with genotype variations thereafter. These data suggest that the currently available bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines could potentially reduce cervical cancers in Fiji by over 80% and reduce precancers by at least 60%.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Differences in human papillomavirus (HPV) types may correlate with the biological potential and invasion risk of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2 and CIN 3). The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between different combinations of HPV types and CIN severity. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study, at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp). METHODS: Cervical samples from 106 women treated due to CIN 2 (18) or CIN 3 (88) were examined for specific HPV genotypes using Roche Linear Array® (LA-HPV). The proportions of CIN 2 and CIN 3 in groups of women infected with the HPV phylogenetic groups A7 and A9 were compared. Three groups were formed: women with single infections; multiple infections; and the whole sample. RESULTS: Multiple infections were detected in 68 samples (64.7%). The most frequent high-risk genotypes detected (single/multiple) were HPV 16 (57.1%), HPV 58 (24.7%), HPV 33 (15.2%), HPV 52 (13.3%), HPV 31 (10.4%), HPV 51 (7.6%) and HPV 18 (6.6%). Women without infection with HPV species Alpha 9 were less likely to have CIN 3 than were their Alpha 9 HPV-infected counterparts. HPV 16 and/or HPV 18, with or without associations with other viral types, were more frequently found in women with CIN 3 than in those with CIN 2. CONCLUSIONS: The severity of high-grade CIN may be aggravated by the presence of HPV types included in the Alpha 9 phylogenetic classification and by infections including HPV 16 and 18, singly or in combination with other HPV genotypes.

ObjectiveCervical cancer is the third most frequent cancer in women, worldwide and etiologically associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV). Following the results of the first epidemiologic population-based CLEOPATRE study in Portugal, it was important to understand the HPV type-specific distribution in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grades 2 and 3 and invasive cervical cancer (ICC).MethodsThis was an observational, multicenter, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection. Between January 2008 and May 2009, paraffin-embedded samples of histologically confirmed cases of CIN2, CIN3, and ICC were collected from the 5 regional health administrations in mainland Portugal. Eligible samples were sent to 2 central laboratories for histological reassessment and HPV genotyping. Prevalence estimates were calculated together with 95% confidence intervals.ResultsA total of 582 samples, 177 cases of CIN2, 341 of CIN3, and 64 of ICC, were included. The mean age of participants was 41.8 years (range, 20–88 years). The overall HPV prevalence was 97.9% with a higher prevalence of high-risk genotypes, particularly HPV 16. Multiple infections were observed in 11.2% of the cases. Human papillomavirus prevalence was 95.5% in CIN2, 99.4% in CIN3, and 96.9% in ICC. The 8 more frequent genotypes in order of decreasing frequency were HPV 16, 31, 58, 33, 51, 52, 18, and 35 in CIN2 and HPV 16, 31, 33, 58, 52, 35, 18, and 51 in CIN3. In ICC cases, the 12 detected HPV genotypes were HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, and 73. However, HPV 53 and 73 were always associated to other high-risk genotypes. Human papillomavirus types 31, 51, 52, 56, and 59 were detected in 1 case each.ConclusionsHuman papillomavirus prevalence and patterns of type-specific HPV positivity were comparable with other studies. Current HPV vaccines should protect against HPV genotypes responsible for 77.4% of ICC in Portugal.

Background. Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide despite being a highly preventable disease. Nine out of every 10 deaths due to cervical cancer occur in developing regions with limited access to medical care and unique resource constraints. To address cervical cancer prevention within the confines of these unique limitations, our team of students and faculty advisors at the University of Utah’s Center for Medical Innovation developed a low-cost, portable technology that utilizes thermal coagulation, a form of heat ablation, to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Methods. A multidisciplinary team of students worked with clinical and industry advisors to develop a globally applicable treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia through a systematic process of problem validation, stakeholder analysis, user-centered design, business plan development, and regulatory clearance. Results. Our efforts resulted in the development of a functional, self-contained, battery-operated prototype within 72 days, followed by Food and Drug Administration clearance of a finalized device within 18 months. Conclusion. Interdisciplinary university programs that leverage the capabilities of academic-industry partnerships can accelerate the development and commercialization of affordable medical technologies to solve critical global health issues.
