Human Papillomavirus 16/18 Infections in Lung Cancer Patients in Mexico

Abstract: Background/Aims: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an epitheliotropic, double-stranded DNA virus, and its high-risk genotypes are associated with human cancer. HPV genome has been detected in lung carcinomas in certain places around the world, including Mexico; however, the prevalence of this is unclear. In this study, we examine the frequency of high-risk HPV 16/18 in lung cancer tissues from a Mexican population. Methods: 39 lung cancer specimens were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using HPV GP5+/GP… Show more

“…HPV infection, particularly high-risk HPV16/18 infection, has been identified as a risk factor for the development of cervical cancer, lung cancer and other malignant tumors (1,2,17,18). Previous studies have reported that the involvement of HPV16/18 infection in lung tumorigenesis may be mediated through FHIT and p53 (7,13,14,19,20).…”

“…Some estimations show that the presence of HPV represents 12 more opportunities to develop cervical cancer than general population [30] and the HPV infection the most important between the factor risk for cervical cancer [21]. Recently, HPV was associated, lung cancer [31][32][33][34] to larynx and pharynx carcinoma that their incidence are increasing in the last years [35,36]. The global incidence of head and neck squamous cells and cervical cancer is similar; infection at both sites is strongly associated with sexual behavior: similarities in chromosomal aberrations, gene expression, and methylation and micro RNA profiles between Positive HPV head and neck squamous cells and cervical cancer.…”

“…After 2010, new studies were reported in America. In Mexico, Badillo-Almaraz et al (2013) reported an HPV presence in 16 out of 39 (41%) lung cancer tissues by using PCR [ 127 ]. In USA, Joh et al, (2010) reported an HPV presence in five out of thirty (16.7%) lung carcinomas by using PCR and DNA sequencing.…”
