Anal human papillomavirus infection: prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of related lesions

Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is mostly asymptomatic, but may also have many diverse clinical signs encompassing benign ano-genital lesions, and carcinomas. Recently, interest has also particularly focused on anal cancer since, over the last decades, its incidence has been greatly increasing in developed countries, both in women and men and is drastically higher in specific risk groups, such as men who have sex with men (MSM) and HIV-1 infected individuals. Approximately 88% of anal cancer cases worldwi… Show more

“…132 The main risk factor for cervical cancer development is a long-term persistent infection with HR-HPV. 133 HPV infection has also been linked to the development of a proportion of vulvar, penile, 134,135 and HNSCC. 136 On the other hand, the β genus of cutaneous HPVs, such as HPV5 and HPV8, have been linked to nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) driven by UV irradiation.…”

“…Classifying cellular histology of anal lesions also employs the revised Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology [38, 39]. Sensitivity of detecting high-grade anal neoplasia ranges from 69–93% in several studies [38], and abnormal anal cytology should be further investigated with high resolution anoscopy (HRA), which is analogous to the cervical colposcopy [40, 41].…”

“…Sensitivity of detecting high-grade anal neoplasia ranges from 69–93% in several studies [38], and abnormal anal cytology should be further investigated with high resolution anoscopy (HRA), which is analogous to the cervical colposcopy [40, 41]. HPV DNA testing is controversial given the high prevalence of hrHPV viral infection in HIV-infected persons [39, 42]. However, presence of hrHPV genotype 16 is associated with concurrent high-grade anal lesions in women with HIV [43, 44].…”

“…Both forms can co-exist and are usually evoked by different genotypes of HPV. Namely, benign AGW are more often evoked by lowrisk HPV types 6 and 11, whereas HPV types 16 and 18 produce higher risk lesions [4,16]. The vast majority of patients with AGW primarily carries HPV types 6 and 11.…”
