Aim: To investigate the pre-vaccination epidemiology of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and genotypes in women with abnormal cytology in Nagasaki, Japan.
Material And Methods: We performed Pap smear tests, biopsies and HPV genotype testing in Nagasaki Prefecture from August 2007 through November 2009.
Results: During the study period, serial samples of uterine cervical specimens were obtained from 539 subjects with abnormal cytology and/or squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) confirmed previously, or with clinically suspected invasive cervical cancer. In 119 HPV-positive subjects with low-grade SIL, the three most prevalent high-risk HPV genotypes were HPV52 (21.8%; 26/119), HPV16 (20.2%; 24/119) and HPV56 (17.6%; 21/119). In 199 women, 127 HPV-positive subjects with high-grade SIL and 67 HPV-positive subjects with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the three most prevalent high-risk HPV genotypes were HPV16 (44.3%; 86/194), HPV52 (20.6%; 40/194) and HPV58 (16.0%; 31/194).
Conclusion: Compared with the distribution of high-risk HPV genotypes in other countries, HPV52 was a more common genotype in Nagasaki. With disease progression to SCC, the distribution of high-risk HPV56 belonging to the A6 HPV family decreased, while HPV16 and HPV52 belonging to the A9 HPV family persisted. Our data provide an important resource to address the case for vaccination against HPV genotypes other than HPV16 and HPV18 in Japan.

Squamous cell carcinomas in several anatomical sites are caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV), and oncogenic double-stranded DNA viruses. There are about 200 genotypes; HPV16 is the most often occurring variant. Potential ways of infection are skin warts, sexual activity, exposure, immunization, or oral sex.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a viral infection, and its acquisition and persistence are significantly influenced by the vaginal microbiota. Understanding and comparing the vaginal microbiome of HPV infected women in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is crucial.
Methods: The study involved collecting vaginal swabs and extracting DNA using the QIAamp DNA Minikit.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and genotyping of human papillomavirus (HPV) and to assess co-infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers (OC and OPC) specimens from patients at a tertiary care hospital in Northeastern Mexico.
Methods: Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumor specimens from 41 patients with OC and OPC were evaluated. HPV detection and genotyping were performed using the Ampliquality HPV-Type Express kit.

Introduction: High-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a premalignant lesion of the cervix caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which can lead to cervical cancer. Despite ongoing primary prevention efforts, considerable burden of illness remains. This study assessed the epidemiological, economic, and humanistic burden associated with high-grade CIN among adult women in Europe.

Background: It is crucial to identify post-operative patients with HPV infection who are at high risk for residual/recurrent disease. This study aimed to evaluate the association between HPV integration and clinical outcomes in HPV-positive women after cervical conization, as well as to identify HPV integration breakpoints.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of 791 women who underwent cervical conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2-3 (CIN2-3) between September 2019 and September 2023, sourced from the Fujian and Hubei cervical lesion screening cohorts.
