Article Synopsis
- - Cervical cancer is a leading cancer in women, mainly linked to HPV types 16 and 18, with a significant part of cases showing genetic diversity that may influence cancer progression.
- - This study analyzed HPV16 and HPV18 genetic variations in 594 Brazilian women with invasive cervical cancer, identifying prevalent lineages before Brazil's public immunization program.
- - Findings revealed that lineage A was most common for both HPV16 (in 217 women) and HPV18 (in 56 women), with HPV16 showing signs of recent variant expansion associated with cancer, unlike HPV18.
To compare the performance of human papillomavirus DNA tests (samples collected by a healthcare professional and self-collected) and liquid-based cytology with conventional cytology in the detection of cervix uteri cancer and its precursor lesions. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 1777 women living in poor communities in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Eligibility criteria included ages 25-59 years and not having had a Papanicolau test within at least 3 years prior to the study.
