- - 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.
