HPV in Genital Squamous Cell Tumors: Epidemiology and Clinical Synopsis

  • Conference paper
Genital Papillomavirus Infections

Abstract

Condyloma acuminatum (venereal wart) caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) has been recognized as a disease entity since antiquity [19]. During the past 10 years, significant new data on the epidemiology, molecular biology, and biological behavior of HPV infections as well as on their close association with a variety of human squamous cell tumors have been accumulated [2, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 21, 25–28, 46–49]. HPV infections in the genital tract are a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and their reported rapid increase in most countries has been attributed to a dramatic changed in sexual habits during the past two decades, e.g., the early onset of sexual activity, frequent sexual partners, poor sexual hygiene, and inadequate preventive measures [3, 19, 20, 34].

The original studies included in this review have been supported in part by a research grant from the Finnish Cancer Society, by PHS grant number 5 R01 CA 42010-03 awarded by the National Cancer Insitute, DHHS, a research grant from the Social Insurance Institution of Finland, as well as a research grant from the Finnish Cancer Institute
