High-risk human papillomavirus genotyping in cervical cancers in Tanzania.
Background: High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection causes almost all cervical cancer. Women living with human immunodeficiency virus (Women living with HIV: WLWHIV) are at a six-fold increased risk of developing cervical cancer. This study assessed hrHPV types in cervical cancer by HIV status and histologic subtypes at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Tanzania.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) archived tissue blocks of cervical carcinomas diagnosed in the Department of Anatomical Pathology at MNH from January to December 2020. Tissue sections were tested for 15 HPV genotypes (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68) using the Ampfire assay. The distribution of HPV genotypes was assessed and compared by HIV status and histologic subtypes.
Results: The mean age ± standard deviation (N = 227, with valid HPV results) was 55 ± 12.9 years, 28.6% (n = 65) were WLWHIV, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was the most common histologic subtype (91.2%). Most cervical carcinomas (81.1%, n = 184) tested positive for hrHPV with HPV16 (44.1%), HPV18 (15.9%), HPV35 (8.4%) and HPV45 (5.7%) being the most common HPV types. hrHPV was higher among older women with 64.5%, 85.1% and 81.3% among 30-40, 41-60 and ≥ 61-year-old women, respectively (p = 0.033). HPV16 was more commonly detected in SCC (47.8%) than in adenocarcinomas (5%) (p < 0.0001). There was no difference in hrHPV positivity by HIV status.
Conclusions: We found a high proportion of hrHPV among cervical carcinomas diagnosed in Tanzania. Rolling out HPV vaccines that target more hrHPV types than HPV16/18, especially HPV35 and HPV45, could optimize protection against cervical cancer in Tanzania.
期刊介绍:
Infectious Agents and Cancer is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of basic, clinical, epidemiological and translational research providing an insight into the association between chronic infections and cancer.
The journal welcomes submissions in the pathogen-related cancer areas and other related topics, in particular:
• HPV and anogenital cancers, as well as head and neck cancers;
• EBV and Burkitt lymphoma;
• HCV/HBV and hepatocellular carcinoma as well as lymphoproliferative diseases;
• HHV8 and Kaposi sarcoma;
• HTLV and leukemia;
• Cancers in Low- and Middle-income countries.
The link between infection and cancer has become well established over the past 50 years, and infection-associated cancer contribute up to 16% of cancers in developed countries and 33% in less developed countries.
Preventive vaccines have been developed for only two cancer-causing viruses, highlighting both the opportunity to prevent infection-associated cancers by vaccination and the gaps that remain before vaccines can be developed for other cancer-causing agents. These gaps are due to incomplete understanding of the basic biology, natural history, epidemiology of many of the pathogens that cause cancer, the mechanisms they exploit to cause cancer, and how to interrupt progression to cancer in human populations. Early diagnosis or identification of lesions at high risk of progression represent the current most critical research area of the field supported by recent advances in genomics and proteomics technologies.
