An overview of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) as an etiological factor of the anal cancer

Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA tumour virus that is the primary cause of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The direct connection between HPV and cervical cancer was discovered in 1980, however, many physicians and the general public are still oblivious to the association of HPV and anal cancer; most individuals find out about this relationship after a confirmed diagnosis, and therefore, it is important to raise awareness about HPV as an etiological agent in anal cancer. There is a quadrivalent vacci… Show more

“…Besides a necessary factor to cervical oncogenesis [9], hr-HPV infection is also a causal factor of other cancers [10,11]. Almost 90% of anal cancers are attributable to HPV, particularly HPV16, which is the most carcinogenic type in the anus [6,12].…”

“…Investigations on the prevalence and subtype distribution of HPV infection in Xinjiang are seldom, especially in individuals infected with multiple HPV subtypes. CA represents a momentous HPV disease burden around the world, which is associated with anal cancer, cervical cancer, penile cancer, vulva cancerand other genital cancers [22] . The samples in our study were mainly from patients with CA.…”

“…A number of viruses have been identified as oncogenic viruses that can directly transform normal cells into malignant tumor cells. Examples of such oncogenic viruses include: (1) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is associated with a subset of Hodgkin's lymphoma [112][113][114][115][116][117], a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [118], endemic Burkitt lymphoma [119], as well as nasopharyngeal carcinoma [119,120] and gastric adenocarcinoma [121]; (2) Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), which is associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) [122], primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) [123,124], and multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) [125]; (3) High-risk isotypes of human papillomaviruses (HPV), which can cause cervical, anal, oral, vulvar, vaginal, and penile cancers [126][127][128][129][130]; (4) Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which is linked to Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) [131]; and (5) human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) [132][133][134][135][136]. Other viruses such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can indirectly cause liver cancer through chronic inflammation [137].…”
