Background: The prevalence of Human Papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) variants in men and the association with tumor development has not been fully investigated. We estimated the prevalence of genital, anal, and oral HPV-16 infections in men through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Seven databases were searched and included studies that identified HPV-16 positive males, HPV-16 variants (lineages/sublineages), and indicated the sample's anatomical origin. This protocol is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020178013).
Results: The database searches yielded 14 studies including 445 HPV-16 positive samples classified as lineage A (n = 390), lineage D (n = 43), lineage B (n = 10), and lineage C (n = 2) variants. Lineage A variants predominated among the anatomical sites and the diverse geographical regions.
Conclusions: HPV-16 lineages vary according to anatomical and geographical region. According to this preliminary evaluation of the current literature, we hypothesize that, similar to women, specific HPV-16 variants may also be associated to increased cancer risk in men.

Background: In Ecuador, cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women and the second most common cause of cancer-related death in women. Although HPV represents a serious public health problem worldwide, the information about its prevalence and genotypes in remote communities of Ecuador is limited. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of HPV genotypes among ethnic minority women from two remote communities of the northwestern region of Ecuador: Afro-Ecuadorians and Chachis (Amerindian group).

Human papilloma virus-related (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) are variable in their progression, immune landscape, treatment responses, and clinical outcomes. Their behavior is impacted not only by differences in host genomic alterations but also by diversity in levels and activity of HPV-encoded oncoproteins. Striking differences in HPV mRNA levels are found among HPV+ OPSCCs and likely derive in part from variations in the structurally diverse mix of integrated and episomal HPV genomes they often contain.

Background: Cervical cancer is the 4 most common cancer in women globally. Determining the prevalence of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and low-risk (LR-HPV) genotypes and the distribution in abnormal cervical cytology will be essential in a future population-based cervical cancer prevention program.
Method: Primary studies with women with abnormal cervical cytology were systematically searched for in Medline, CINHAL, Google Scholar, African Journal Online, and the University of Antwerp repository from 19-30 May 2023.

HPV16 is occasionally detected in vaccinated women who received the bivalent HPV16/18 vaccine, usually at low viral loads. This study explored potential differences in HPV16 variants between vaccinated and unvaccinated women. HPV16-postive viral loads were detected in 1.

Invasive cervical cancers (ICC), caused by HPV infections, have a heterogeneous molecular landscape. We investigate the detection, timing, and HPV type specificity of somatic mutations in 3929 HPV-positive exfoliated cervical cell samples from individuals undergoing cervical screening in the U.S.
