Cervical human papillomavirus infection among female sex workers in southern VietnamInfectious Agents and Cancer - Tập 3 - Trang 1-9 - 2008
Brenda Y Hernandez, Thuong Vu Nguyen
Cervical cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy among women in southern Vietnam where its incidence is one of the highest observed worldwide. Cervical HPV DNA infection was measured in a cross-sectional sample of 282 female sex workers (FSW) in Soc Trang province in southern Vietnam. HPV DNA was detected in 85% of FSW and prevalence did not vary by age. Thirty-five HPV genotypes were d...... hiện toàn bộ

The etiology of primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell CD30+ lymphoma is largely unknown, and although an infectious involvement has been suspected, the implication of infectious agents in its pathogenesis is still unclear. We report the case of a HIV-negative patient referred to our hospital with a rapidly enlarging skin tumor on her upper eyelid. Surgical excision was performed and histological...... hiện toàn bộ

Lung cancer is an important etiology of malignant mortality worldwide with global statistics indicating over 1 million deaths annually. Although there have been advances in cytotoxic chemotherapy, the prognosis after treatment still remains poor. Remarkably, recent studies on the molecular level are creating the possibility to hamper lung cancer by inhibiting the hedgehog pathway. Currently, hedge...... hiện toàn bộ
A socio-cultural study of traditional healers role in African health careInfectious Agents and Cancer - Tập 14 - Trang 1-5 - 2019
C. C. Asuzu, E. O. Akin-Odanye, M. C. Asuzu, J. Holland
There is a widely held view that a major cause of delay in diagnosis of cancer at an early stage in Africa is the fact that many patients consult traditional healers first and are often treated by them until curative treatment cannot be undertaken. This qualitative study aimed at identifying cancer patients who have used traditional healers and their traditional healers’ understanding of cancer, i...... hiện toàn bộ
Oncogenic viruses associated with vulva cancer in HIV-1 patients in BotswanaInfectious Agents and Cancer - Tập 9 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Kenneth O Simbiri, Hem C Jha, Mukendi K Kayembe, Carrie Kovarik, Erle S Robertson
Oncoviruses such as HPV, KSHV, and EBV have been reported in patients with HIV infection and AIDS. How oncovirus-associated cancers rise in AIDS patients has not been fully established. The purpose of our study was to identify the viral agents in vulvar cancer and to assess their contribution to pathogenesis. We retrospectively identified a total of 13 vulva tissue samples from HIV-1 positive and ...... hiện toàn bộ
The prevalence of cervical cytology abnormalities and human papillomavirus in women infected with the human immunodeficiency virusInfectious Agents and Cancer - Tập 4 - Trang 1-6 - 2009
Dionne N Dames, Camille Ragin, Andrea Griffith-Bowe, Perry Gomez, Raleigh Butler
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major etiologic agent in the development of cervical cancer and its natural history of infection is altered in persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The prevalence of HPV infection and cervical dysplasia in the HIV sero-positive females in the Bahamas is not known. Finding out the prevalence would allow for the establishment of protocol...... hiện toàn bộ
Cytomegalovirus reactivation and its clinical impact in patients with solid tumorsInfectious Agents and Cancer - Tập 10 - Trang 1-4 - 2015
Konstantin Schlick, Michael Grundbichler, Jutta Auberger, Jan Marco Kern, Markus Hell, Florian Hohla, Georg Hopfinger, Richard Greil
Cytomegalovirus reactivation can be life threatening. However, little evidence on its incidence in solid cancers is available. Therefore our single center Cytomegalovirus polymerase chain reaction database with altogether 890 CMV positive blood serum samples of mainly hematological and oncological patients was retrospectively analyzed to examine the occurrence of Cytomegalovirus reactivation in pa...... hiện toàn bộ
