Cervical Cancer and Genital Infections: Assessment of Performance and Validation in Human Papillomavirus Genotyping Assays in Iran, its Neighbouring Countries and Persian Gulf Area

Abstract: Background: The accuracy of diagnostic assays in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genital infection and cervical cancer has remained a clinical challenge in diagnosis. Evidence indicates that a large proportion of cervical cancer can be prevented through organized care for HPV and testing. Countries with low per capita income, such as Iran and its neighbours, have no national organized program for cervical cancer screening and vaccination. The aim of this study was to review recent published papers in t… Show more

“…It was reported that HPV prevalence in worldwide women had significantly regional variation, for example in 2012 Africa had the highest HPV prevalence (24%), which followed by Eastern Europe (21%), Latin American (16%) and South Eastern Asia (14%) in turn [11]. In the current study, the overall HPV prevalence (10.16%) in Hengyang district of Hunan Province was comparable to those reported in Zhejiang Province (13.3%) [12] in China, and those reported in other countries, such as in Guatemala (13%) [13] and in Iran, its Neighbouring Countries and Persian Gulf Area (0.62%~25%) [14], but was lower than those reported in some regions of China, such as Shenzhen City (15.9%) [15], the northwestern Yunnan Province (18.4%) [16], southern Yunnan Province (14.7%) [17],…”

“…Recently, it has been reported that mHPV infections are apparently more widespread than expected [13, 14]. Although the genital infections with mHPVs are common in either men or women [1, 1517], the relative rates might not be representative for the prevalence due to the limited number of patients studied [13, 14, 18]. Nevertheless, since when the HPV-types have been performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, mHPV infections have been more consistently described [19].…”

“…As a result, some genital infections such as high-risk HPVs and STIs are the common causative pathogens of cervical cancer and genital disorders. In addition, multiple co-pathogens appear more likely to be linked and potential risk factors in development of cervical abnormalities, especially in patients with genital infections [14,[20][21][22][23][24]. The function of SNPs in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer coexisting with HPV genotypes and other microorganisms such as C. trachomatis, M. genitalium and HSV2 in genital disorders has not been extensively studied in developing countries.…”
