    Author : Sonia Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cervix; Adenocarcinoma; HPV; Prevalence; Age; PCR; DNA-sequencing; p53; HPV16 - E6 gene - polymorphism;

    Abstract : Background: Cervical carcinoma is the third most common malignant disease in women worldwide. The absolute frequency of adenocarcinoma of cervix uteri has increased during the last decade and accounts for about 15-20% of invasive cervical cancers. READ MORE

  4. 7. The Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type16 Early Gene Expression

    Author : Xiaoxu Cui; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papillomavirus; splicing; hnRNP D; m6A; LCR;

    Abstract : AbstractHuman papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small non enveloped viruses that contain a double-stranded circular DNA genome of approximately 8kb in size. It has been estimated that approximately 5% of all cancers are caused by HPV infection. Cervical cancer represents the majority of HPV-associated anogenital cancers worldwide. READ MORE

  5. 8. The role of cellular RNA processing functions in Human papillomavirus type 16 gene regulation

    Author : Kersti Nilsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA Splicing; Polyadenylation; DNA damage response; Human papillomavirus; Influenza A;

    Abstract : Infections with Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the most the most common, sexually transferred and is responsible for genital warts, cervical cancers and a growing number of head and neck cancers. Knowledge about how HPV16 interacts with the infected cell to regulate its gene expression is essential for therapeutic development. READ MORE

  6. 9. Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Penile Cancer. Risk Factors and Treatment

    Author : Sinja Kristiansen; Dermatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Penile intrapithelial neoplasia; PeIN; penile cancer; risk factors; HPV; incidence; histopathology;

    Abstract : AbstractPenile cancer and its precursor, penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN), are rare malignancies. Data on risk factors, incidence, and treatment of PeIN is scarce. The prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) varies substantially between studies of penile cancer. READ MORE

  7. 10. Human papillomavirus in anogenital cancer, with special reference to the viral capsid

    Author : Pirkko Heino; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Infection with the oncogenic types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), particularly HPV type 16, is the major cause of anogenital dysplasias, which are precursor lesions of anogenital cancers. Studies of the HPV capsid are of interest, since HPV capsids are attractive candidates for cancer-preventive vaccines, since detection of viral capsids in clinical specimens can be used to monitor viral infectivity and spread and since HPV capsid seropositivity is a useful epidemiological marker of HPV exposure.
