   Abstract : Different types of human papillomavirus (HPV) vary in the extent they cause precursor lesions (CIN) and cancer. There are limited long-term efficacy data on HPV testing in primary screening Among 72 cervical cancers in Mozambique, HPV 16 and 18 were the most frequent HPV types (69% of cases). READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular mechanisms in cervical carcinogenesis : Studies of clonality, somatic genetic alterations and human papillomavirus variants in cervical pre-invasive and invasive cancer

   Abstract : Cervical cancer derives from a series of pre-invasive cervical neoplastic lesions termed CIN I-III (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia) via typical multiple-step processes. In contrast to premalignant disorders in other organs, different degrees of CIN possess a distinct biological behaviour where a proportion spontaneously regress or persist, whereas some progress to invasive cancer.

   Abstract : Cervical cancer (CC) is caused by a persistent infection of certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Even though great progress has been made in strategies for prevention, and treatment of CC, there is still a need for improved methods in screening and management of women diagnosed with CC.

6. 4. Molecular epidemiology of human papillomavirus and cervical cancer

   Author : Ilvars Silins; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cervical cancer; human papillomovirus; epidemiology; sexually transmitted infections.;

   Abstract : Background: Cervical carcinoma is globally the second most common malignant disease in women accounting for approximately 10 % of all cancers in women worldwide. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) known to be the main causative agent of cervical preinvasive and invasive neoplasia. READ MORE
