Prevalence of High-Risk Genotypes of Human Papillomavirus: Women Diagnosed with Premalignant and Malignant Pap Smear Tests in Southern Ecuador

Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary infectious agent for the development of cervical cancer, although the presence of the virus alone is insufficient for viral development and proliferation; this can be attributed to the increase in potential oncogenic risk, along with other risk factors. In the present investigation, the prevalence of high-risk HPV was determined from samples of premalignant or malignant cervical cytology in women from the southern region of Ecuador. The kit we used was able to detect g… Show more

“…1 More than 150 HPV genotypes have been identified. 2 Persistent HPV infection with one of the 12 high-risk genotypes identified is causally linked with the development of cervical cancer. [3][4][5] High-risk HPV genotypes 16 and 18 are associated with approximately 70% of all invasive cervical cancers, and low-risk HPV genotypes 6 and 11 cause 90% of anogenital warts.…”

“…The objective of this study is to show the prevalence of HPV genotypes in Ecuadorian mestizo women [13], in comparison with other studies at Latin America [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] (see table 3).…”

“…A number of Ecuadorian studies identifying HPV types have been performed in anogenital cancers, but not in HNC. The majority of these studies show HPV 16 as the most prevalent type ( 17 21 ). In this cohort, the most prevalent HPV types detected in tongue tumors were HPV 33 (HR) and 67 (LR).…”
