Article Synopsis
- Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and herpesviruses have been found in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), warranting a study on their prevalence in specific tissue samples.
- In a study of 97 EOC patients, HPV16 DNA was found in one-third of fallopian tube and tumor samples, with higher detection rates in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) cases.
- Additionally, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were detected in about 14% of EOC samples, indicating that HPV16 could be a potential risk factor for developing EOC.
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs), which belong to the family, constitute a group of small nonenveloped double-stranded DNA viruses. HPV has a small genome that only encodes a few proteins, and it is also responsible for 5% of all human cancers, including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV types may be classified as high- and low-risk genotypes (HR-HPVs and LR-HPVs, respectively) according to their oncogenic potential.
