HPV Detection and Genotyping in Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Northern Thailand

Type-specific Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus by Cervical Cytology among Women in Brasov, Romania

“…Our findings on HPV-16 infection (26.01%) were also higher to that reported worldwide (Clifford et al, 2005;Masia et al, 2009). Prevalence rates worldwide for HPV-16 tend to be higher than those observed for other HPV types (Trottier and Franco, 2006;Hamzi Abdul Raub et al, 2014;Siriaunkgul et al 2014). The second most frequent HR-HPV type was HPV-31 (12.26%), unlike HPV-18 in Europe, Central and South America, HPV-52 and 58 in Asia, and HPV-52 and 53 in North America (Clifford et al, 2005;De Sanjose et al, 2010).…”

Prevalence and type distribution of human papillomavirus in squamous cell carcinoma and intraepithelial neoplasia of the vulva

“…For both vulvar cancer and VIN, the highest HPV prevalence was observed among studies using PCR with a combination of consensus primers although not statistically significant in the multivariate test. This can be explained by the use of combined primer sets in a nested or semi‐nested PCR in three out of 10 studies which is likely to provide higher sensitivity to detect HPV DNA . In the other studies using a combination of consensus primers, two separate PCR tests were performed sequentially and samples testing positive in at least one PCR test contributed to the prevalence.…”

Prevalence of High Risk Human Papillomavirus Infection with Different Cervical Cytological Features among Women Undergoing Health Examination at the National Cancer Institute, Thailand

“…In low incidence area of cervical cancer in Songkhla HPV infection was found 3.8%, while in high incidence area in Lampang HPV infection was found 8.0%. Earlier studies of cervical and vulvar lesions in Thailand demonstrated HPV-16 to be most prevalent (Natphopsuk et al, 2013;Ngamkham et nal., 2013;Swangvaree et al, 2013;Siriaunkgul et al, 2014).…”
