Human papillomavirus genotypes in Pacific Islander cervical cancer patients

Abstract: ObjectiveThe role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the development of invasive cervical cancers is widely known. Few HPV studies have targeted geographically isolated regions. The objective of this study was to determine the HPV genotypes in cervical cancer patients from the Pacific Islands referred to Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC).MethodsAll cases of invasive cervical cancer treated at TAMC through the Pacific Island Health Care Project between January 2004 and October 2014 were identified through a revi… Show more

“…On the other hand, in Central Africa more precisely in Cameroon, the prevalence of the HPV 16 and HPV 18 genotypes represented 30.8% [31]. It also emerges that HPV 45 was very present in our study (33%) which is in line with certain studies [32][33][34][35], which had shown that other genotypes (HPV45, 58, 52) had been reported as the second most common.…”

“…There are several risk factors that can cause cervical cancer including maternal age, parity, the use of oral contraceptives, education level, smoking, and the use of sanitary napkins. Cervical cancer can be prevented by conducting routine check-up, not having intimate relationships with alternating partners, not having intimate relationships during menstruation period and avoiding having sex before marriage or at a very young age, living a healthy lifestyle, such as maintaining the genital hygiene and avoid smoking, and taking routine screening check [11,15] Based on table 1, the incidence of cervical cancer in Anutapura Hospital, women who have their first marriage age of < 20 years old (high risk) experiencing cervical cancer incidence 4.1 times greater than women who have their first marriage age of ≥ 20 years old (low risk). Getting married at the age of 20 is considered too young to have sexual relationship and is at risk of cervical cancer 10-12 times greater than those who are married at the age of > 20 years old.…”

“…The incidence factor of cervical cancer in Anutapura Hospital on the risk of women who have a history of using oral contraceptives of ≥ 5 years (high risk) experiencing cervical cancer incidence 3, 6 times greater than women with a history of using oral contraceptives <5 years (low risk) [11,18]. The mechanism of using oral contraceptives increases the risk of cervical cancer is still under debate, as it hypothesizes that the thickness of mucus in the cervix due to the use of birth control pills causes cervical cancer.…”

“…PI women have even more to gain from HPV vaccination, as up to 88% of PI women with cervical cancer have vaccinable HPV subtypes [6]. Despite this, the limited existing research suggests that PI women in the USA are less aware about HPV and the vaccine.…”
