“…Thus, the prevalence of HPV DNA in the male genital tract seems similar to that in the cervix uteri of control women in the same populations and age groups, if not higher (Muñoz et al, 1992;Eluf-Neto et al, 1994;Chichareon et al, 1998;Ngelangel et al, 1998). In agreement with findings in women without cervical neoplasia (Herrero et al, 2000b), HPV 16 and 18 types were relatively rare (i.e., less than one third of penile HPV infections) with the notable exception of Brazilian men, among whom these types accounted for the majority of penile HPV infections.…”

Four-hundred-forty-five husbands of women with invasive cervical carcinoma, 165 of women with in situ cervical cancer, and 717 of control women (age range 19 -82 years) were interviewed and a sample of exfoliated cells from the penis obtained in seven case -control studies conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The characteristics of human papillomavirus-positive and human papillomavirus-negative husbands were compared using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Thirteen per cent of the husbands of control women, 18% of the husbands of women with invasive cervical carcinoma, and 21% of the husbands of in situ cervical carcinoma women were positive for penile human papillomavirus DNA. Human papillomavirus 16 was detected in 45 husbands, human papillomavirus 18, 31 or 33 in 19, and human papillomavirus 6/11 in 6, but the majority of human papillomavirus infection (158) was with other or unspecified human papillomavirus types. The same human papillomavirus type was seldom identified in both husband and wife. The strongest variation in penile human papillomavirus infection was by country, with percentages among the husbands of control women ranging between 3% in Spain and 39% in Brazil. Having had over 50 lifetime sexual partners, compared with only one, was associated with an odds ratio of 2.3. British Journal of Cancer (2002) The importance of the 'male factor' (Skegg et al, 1982) in the aetiology of cervical carcinoma (CC) in women was suggested years before the identification of a sexually-transmitted virus, human papillomavirus (HPV), as the central cause of these tumours (Dürst et al, 1983;Muñoz et al, 1992). A close correlation has been reported between the frequency of cervical and penile carcinoma in populations (Bosch and Cardis, 1990) and in individual couples (Smith et al, 1980). The development of increasingly accurate assays for HPV detection has brought a clearer understanding of the prevalence of, and risk factors for, cervical HPV infection in women. Human papillomavirus DNA has been identified in 99% of CC specimens (Walboomers et al, 1999). Among women with a normal Pap smear, between a few per cent and more than 50% of women with a normal Pap smear harbour HPV DNA in their cervix, depending upon age and country (Herrero et al, 2000a;Woodman et al, 2001). Conversely, progress in understanding the prevalence and natural history of genital HPV infection in men has been limited. Most surveys of penile HPV infection so far have included a few hundred men at most and have generally been restricted to young individuals (Hippeläinen et al, 1993a,b,c;Baldwin et al, 2001;Kjaer et al, 2001;Lazcano-Ponce et al, 2001).The present study examines the prevalence and determinants of penile HPV infection, according to PCR-based assays, among 1143 husbands of women enrolled in seven case -control studies coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). MATERIALS AND METHODSThe combined data included in these analyses were collected in five case-control studies of i...

“…Differences in the time frame, age and education level between the study populations might have contributed to the discrepancy. Although smoking is associated with an increased risk of CC [42], its effect on HPV infection is mixed. Poppe et al [43] found that smoking potentially increased the risk of HPV infection through a local impairment of cell-mediated immunity, although the magnitude of the effect was small.…”

While sociodemographic predictors of cervical cancer (CC) are well understood, predictors of high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) infection have not been fully elucidated. This study explored the HR-HPV infection positivity in relation to sociodemographic, sexual behavior characteristics and knowledge about HPV and CC prevention among women who visited the Arkhangelsk clinical maternity hospital named after Samoylova, Russia. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the city of Arkhangelsk, Northwest Russia. Women who consulted a gynecologist for any reason between 1 January 2015 and 30 April 2015 were residents of Arkhangelsk, 25–65 years of age were included. The Mann–Whitney and Pearson’s χ2 tests were used. To determine the HR-HPV status, we used the Amplisens HPV-DNA test. We used a questionnaire to collect the information on sociodemographic factors. Logistic regression was applied. The prevalence of HR-HPV infection was 16.7% (n = 50). HR-HPV infection was more prevalent in younger women, cohabiting, nulliparae, smokers, having had over three sexual partners and early age of sexual debut. The odds of having a positive HR-HPV status increased by 25% with an annual decrease in the age of sexual debut. Moreover women with one child or more were less likely to have positive HR-HPV status.

“…The highest prevalence was found at the follicular phase (55%), whereas the cumulative prevalence was 75%. (Schiffman et al, 1993;Chichareon et al, 1998;Ngelangel et al, 1998; Liaw et al, 1999;Walboomers et al, 1999;Andersson et al, 2001;Lehtinen et al, 2001). A systematic review on the role of HPV testing within a cervical cancer screening program showed that the high risk HPV prevalence in CIN 1 ranged from 30 to 65%, in CIN 2 from 40 to 70% and in CIN 3 from 60 to 90% (Cuzick et al, 1999).…”

Fluctuations in prevalence of cervical human papillomavirus in women frequently sampled during a single menstrual cycle

et al. 2002

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the last few years much attention has been focused on the implementation of human papillomavirus detection in population based screening programmes to identify women at risk for cervical cancer. Short-term fluctuations in prevalence of human papillomavirus were investigated within a single menstrual cycle. The highest prevalence was found at the follicular phase (55%), whereas the cumulative prevalence was 75%. (Schiffman et al, 1993;Chichareon et al, 1998;Ngelangel et al, 1998; Liaw et al, 1999;Walboomers et al, 1999;Andersson et al, 2001;Lehtinen et al, 2001). A systematic review on the role of HPV testing within a cervical cancer screening program showed that the high risk HPV prevalence in CIN 1 ranged from 30 to 65%, in CIN 2 from 40 to 70% and in CIN 3 from 60 to 90% (Cuzick et al, 1999). Furthermore, HPV can be detected in almost all cervical carcinomas (Walboomers et al, 1999).The estimated point prevalences of genital HPV infections detected by PCR based methods among populations of women with cytological normal cervical smears range from 1.5 to 44.3%, with a weighted average of 16.2% (Xi and Koutsky, 1997) and show an age-related pattern (Melkert et al, 1993). The highest prevalences are found in women in their early twenties (de Villiers et al, 1992;Melkert et al, 1993). Newly acquired genital HPV is usually transient in women with normal cervical cytology (Evander et al, 1995). The mean duration of cervical HPV infection in a healthy population varies between 8.2 -13.5 months (Ho et al, 1998;Franco et al, 1999). Short-term fluctuations of an individual's HPV status, however, are still a matter of debate. Several studies have reported a fluctuating expression of HPV (Ho et al, 1998;Schneider et al, 1992;Wheeler et al, 1996), probably due to differences in viral load, inadequate sampling or reactivation of endogenous infection (Woodman et al, 2001). Single point measurements of HPV 16 in cervical smears are of limited value for assessment of an individual's HPV status .Before incorporation of HPV testing in screening programs for prevention of cervical cancer it is important to gain more insight in the actual prevalence of HPV, influenced by short-term fluctuations. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of cervical HPV in the different phases of a single menstrual cycle in women with regular cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODSCervical samples for HPV detection and cytological examination were obtained from 20 women visiting the outpatient clinic for fertility problems at the University Medical Centre Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Only women with regular menstrual cycles were included. Patients with cervical treatment for abnormal cervical cytology in the past 10 years were not included in the study. After giving informed consent, patients were interviewed regarding their medical history, smoking habits, use of contraceptives and sexual behaviour.Cervical smears for HPV detection and cytological classification were obtained using the Cervex brush (Rovers, Oss, the Netherlands).On a weekly bas...
