“…The highest frequency of cervical cancer cases in Malaysia was among the Chinese which is consistent with a study done by Domingo et al, (2008). Chinese women led the other races for the 5-year survival rate, with the highest survival rate of 73.8% despite them having the highest incidence rate of the cancer.…”

“…There are several aetiological factors for cervical cancer and the most significant is due to persistent infection of specific human papillomavirus (HPV) strains, particularly type 16 and 18 which are the most common (Domingo et al, 2008;Haghshenas et al, 2013). Since HPV is a type of virus that is transmitted sexually (Shepherd et al, 2000), other known risk factors for cervical cancer are mostly related to sexual behaviour.…”

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant cancer of the female reproductive organs worldwide. Currently, cervical cancer can be prevented by vaccination and detected at an early stage via various screening methods. Malaysia, as a developing country faces a heavy disease burden of cervical cancer as it is the second most common cancer among Malaysian women. This population based study was carried out to fulfil the primary aim of determining the survival rates of Malaysian women with cervical cancer and associated factors. Data were obtained from two different sources namely, the Malaysian National Cancer Registry (MNCR) and National Health Informatics Centre (NHIC) from 1st January 2000 to 31st December 2005. Kaplan Meier analyses were conducted to identify the overall survival rates and median survival time. Differences in survival among different ethnic and age group were compared using the log-rank test. A total of 5,859 patients were included. The median survival time for cervical cancer in this study was 65.8 months and the 5-year survival rate was 71.1% . The overall observed survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 94.1%, 79.3% and 71.1% respectively. The log-rank test finding also showed that there were significant differences in the 5-year survival rate among different ethnic groups. Malays had the lowest survival rate of 59.2% followed by Indians (69.5%) and Chinese (73.8%). The overall 5-year survival rate among patients with cervical cancer in Malaysia is relatively good. Age and ethnic groups remain as significant determining factors for cervical cancer survival rate.

“…HPV-58 is not rare in Asian women with normal cervical cytology; its prevalence being <1% in Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Korea (Domingo et al, 2008;Konno et al, 2008) and 1~2% in Taiwan and China (Shi et al, 2008;Tay et al, 2008). Among SCCA patients, a condensation of HPV-58 infection (about 26%) was reported in Shanghai (Huang et al, 1997), whereas it reached 18% in Khon Kaen (present study; Sriamporn et al, 2006).…”

“…Since their prophylactic spectra are limited to HPV-16, -18 (and additionally -6 and -11 for Gardasil ® ), only 70% of invasive cervical cancer cases can be prevented worldwide (Serrano et al, 2012;Xue et al, 2012;Yue et al, 2013) and also in Thailand. Common dissemination of HPV-58 as well as -33 and -31 in Thailand (Sukvirach et al, 2003;Domingo et al, 2008) demands invention and circulation of a novel vaccine targeting these minor but burdensome HPV strains.…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of cervical cancer. More than 100 HPV genotypes have been identified; however the distribution varies geographically and according to ethnicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and distribution of HPV subtypes among Northeast Thai women. Subjects included 198 cases of SCCA and 198 age-matched, healthy controls. HPV-DNA was amplified by PCR using the consensus primers GP5+/6+ system followed by reverse line blot hybridization genotyping. The prevalence of high-risk HPV infection was 21 (

“…For limited-resource, manual liquid based cytologi in primary screening is still preferable (Nandini et al, 2012). In Indonesia, cervical cancer screening programs consists of Pap smears and now visual inspection with acetic acid is also increasing, however, the uptake of screening remains low (Domingo et al, 2008). Furthermore, the genotyping result might not give a difference in therapy management from the clinical point of view, thus, with lots of HPV genotyping detection available in the market one should be aware of the advantage and disadvantage of the tests and has the possibility to compare the techniques to get higher agreement between tests.…”
