    Sammanfattning : Background: Cervical carcinoma is the third most common malignant disease in women worldwide. The absolute frequency of adenocarcinoma of cervix uteri has increased during the last decade and accounts for about 15-20% of invasive cervical cancers. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Human papillomavirus infection in healthy youth and in hypopharyngeal cancer

    Författare :Nathalie Hou Grün; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to follow the prevalence of human papillomavirus in the oral cavity and in the cervix in youth during the period of 2008-2015, a period when HPV vaccination was gradually introduced to young girls in Sweden. In addition, we explored the prevalence of HPV in hypopharyngeal cancer during the period 2000-2012 on the basis that there has been an epidemic of HPV positive tonsillar and base of tongue cancer, which arise in locations with close physiological proximity to the hypopharynx.

    Sammanfattning : Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is the commonest cancer affecting Zimbabwean women. The recognition of the central role of the human papilloma virus (HPV) in the aetiopathogenesis of cervical cancer has led to application of HPV testing in the cervical screening and to the development of HPV vaccines for primary prevention of ICC.

    Sammanfattning : Cervical adenocarcinoma (ADC) represents about 20% of invasive cervical cancers. Implementation of screening programs that have led to a decrease in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has only had a limited preventive effect on adenocarcinoma as the incidence of ADC, especially among younger women, has steadily increased in recent decades.
