Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women in Malaysia, and a study was conducted to analyze the prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) genotypes in this multi-ethnic population.
- Researchers examined 280 cervical cancer cases from four centers using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to detect 12 high-risk HPV genotypes, finding that HPV was present in 92.5% of cases.
- The study revealed that HPV 16 and 18 were the most prevalent genotypes across ethnic groups, with significant differences in infection rates among Chinese, Malays, and Indians, highlighting the need for targeted HPV vaccination strategies.
Background: Obesity, gastroesophageal reflux, and Barrett's esophagus have all been linked to esophageal adenocarcinoma. In addition, the decline in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in affluent societies has also been suggested to be a major factor in the recent rise in the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma.
