We present the findings of assessing the expression levels of extracellular TLR2 and TLR4 and intracellular TLR3 and TLR8 correlating with the severity of clinical manifestations of HPV infection. A total of 199 women took part in a single-center prospective comparative research study on TLR2, TLR3, TLR4 and TLR8 expression in HPV-related cervical lesions. TLRs' mRNA expression was analyzed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Our results indicate the potential significance of TLR3, TLR4 and TLR8 in responding to HPV infection and its progression to SILs and CC, highlighting the importance of HPV polyinfection in relation to TLR4 and TLR8.

There is a pressing need to improve risk stratification and treatment selection for HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) due to the adverse side effects of treatment. One of the most important prognostic features is lymph nodes involvement. Previously, we demonstrated that tumor formation in patient-derived xenografts (i.

Many clinicians recommend that patients diagnosed with HPV-related gynecologic cancers receive prophylactic HPV vaccination at the time of cancer diagnosis or after cancer treatment. In view of the large use of such practice, we aimed to assess the literature evidence supporting the use of prophylactic HPV vaccines after diagnosis or treatment of HPV-related gynecologic cancers. Women who develop HPV-related cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers represent a subgroup of patients who may be particularly sensitive to HPV infection and re-acquire infections.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide, with HPV and HPV-related diseases representing a substantial disease burden. HPV vaccination has reduced HPV infections and HPV-related diseases; however, there is growing evidence of delayed or refused vaccination due to a lack of trust in vaccines. Understanding the factors that impact vaccine uptake will allow the development and implementation of successful vaccination programmes.

Cervical cancer (CC) is a global public health concern, primarily caused by persistent infection with oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a plan to eliminate CC as a public health issue by the year 2100. However, the implementation of the HPV vaccine is impeded by vaccine restrictions and misinformation despite its demonstrated effectiveness.

Background: Cervical cancer is a common cancer worldwide, with > 85% of deaths occurring in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries where resources for screening programs are limited. Women living with HIV (WLHIV) are at increased risk. HPV test-and-treat is a screening strategy where women with HPV are offered ablative treatment of the cervix to reduce the risk of invasive cancer.
