“…Even if HPV is known to be the most common STI [26], cervical cancer is caused by HPV [27] and assumed to be imperative for medical students to have adequate knowledge about HPV infection, cervical cancer and HPV vaccine [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]; the overall knowledge score was not found to be adequate among the majorities of study participants. Only 43.80% were found to have adequate knowledge which is lower than the report of study findings done in different countries [22,[36][37][38] which might be because of the difference in the methodology and socio-economic conditions of the study participants and in addition most of the study participants in our study are in their pre-medicine and preclinical year of study at the university [39][40][41].…”

Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is the most common viral infection of the reproductive organ and other body parts causing a range of health problem both in females and males. It is associated with 99.7% of cervical cancers. Though different preventive strategies including HPV vaccine are proved to be effective in preventing cervical cancer that occur as a result of persistent HPV infection, it is the second commonest cancer among female in Ethiopia.

“…A prevalence of 15.9% was revealed by study done to determine the prevalence of HPV infection among women attending outpatients' clinics in Attat Rural Hospital Southern Ethiopia [18]. A retrospective molecular analysis for Human Papillomavirus on 284 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded cervical biopsy specimens with cervical abnormalities from the Department of pathology, Gondar College of Medical Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia at Max-Burger Research Institute, Leipzig, Germany revealed HPV prevalence of 92.6 % in that population.…”

IntroductionCancer of the cervix uteri is the second most common cancer among women worldwide. The association of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection with cervical carcinogenesis is well documented. This is a pilot study aiming to studying the prevalence and the pattern of Human Papilloma Virus Type 16 (HPV16) by immunostaining in the tissues of cervical carcinomas of Ethiopian women.Methods20 specimens of uterine cervical carcinomas were studied histopathologically and immunohistochemically for HPV16. ResultsHistologically the specimens were classified as: Ten cases were Non Keratinized Squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC), six cases were Keratinized Squamous Cell Carcinoma (KSCC) and four cases were Adenocarcinoma (ADC). Immunohistochemistry study showed positivity in eleven cases (55%); seven cases (35%) were non-keratinized squamous cell carcinoma; three cases (15%) were keratinized squamous cell carcinoma and one case (5%) belonged to the adenocarcinomas.ConclusionThis study reveals a significant detection of HPV in Ethiopian women by the use of advanced techniques such as Immunohistochemistry (IHC). The data of this study suggested that the marked expression of the HPV 16 was in the less differentiated uterine cervix carcinomas.

“…According to World Health Organization (WHO) report, the age-adjusted incidence rate of cervical cancer in Ethiopia is 35.9 per 100,000 patients with 7619 annual number of new cases and 6081 deaths every year (WHO/ICO, 2009). Moreover, facility-based studies show that cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer in Ethiopia (Aseffa et al, 1986;Ruland et al, 2006) and other studies show that cervical cancer account for 25.8 to 32% of all female malignancies (Loutfi and Pickering, 1992;Ashine and Lemma, 1999). Despite this fact, very few women receive screening services in Ethiopia (Waktola et al, 2005).…”

Literature shows that cervical cancer is very prevalent among women living in low resource settings.Once it progresses to invasive cervical cancer, its cost is very high. Thus, screening cervical cancer is highly recommended in poor settings including Ethiopia, where the disease burden is very high. However, little is documented on the prevalence and determinants of precancerous cervical lesion among healthy women. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with precancerous cervical lesion among women working in Almeda textile factory, Adwa, North Ethiopia. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 20 to 25, 2016 among women working in Almeda textile factory in North Ethiopia. Three hundred forty-two women were included in this study. Data were collected using a structured checklist. SPSS version 20 was used for data entry and analysis. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the precancerous cervical lesion. Statistical significance was set at p-value < 0.05. The mean (± SD) age of the respondents included in this study was 32.95 (± 6.94). In this study, the overall prevalence of precancerous cervical lesion was 6.7% (95% CI: 4.4, 9.6). Being infected with sexually transmitted infections [AOR=49.88, 95% CI: (16.59, 149.91)] was significantly associated with the precancerous cervical lesion. In conclusion, the prevalence of precancerous cervical lesion was high among women working in Almeda textile factory in North Ethiopia. Therefore, cervical cancer screening and treatment services should be initiated and expanded to reduce morbidity from cervical cancer and its adverse effects.
