TL;DR: HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 52, and 58 should be given priority when the cross-protective effects of current vaccines are assessed, and for formulation of recommendations for the use of second-generation polyvalent HPV vaccines, according to this largest assessment of HPV genotypes to date.

TL;DR: This large international study to estimate fractions of head and neck cancers attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV-AFs) using six HPV-related biomarkers of viral detection, transcription, and cellular transformation confirms the important role ofHPVs in oropharyngeal cancer and drastically downplays the previously reported involvement of HPVs in the other HNCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Combined data from HPV-DNA and p16(INK4a) testing are likely to represent a closer estimate of the real fraction of IVC induced by HPV, indicating that HPV contribution in invasive vulvar cancer has probably been overestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In view of the results of HPV DNA and high proportion of p16INK4a overexpression, infection by HPV is most likely to be a necessary cause for anal cancers in both men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: About a third to a fourth of penile cancers were related to HPV when considering HPV DNA detection alone or adding an HPV activity marker, respectively, and the observed HPV type distribution reinforces the potential benefit of current and new HPV vaccines in the reduction of HPV-related penile neoplastic lesions.
