TLDR
These studies provide the basis to define the genetics of HPV pathogenesis and the use of multiple sequence alignments of complete viral genomes and phylogenetic analyses have begun to define variant lineages and sublineages using empirically defined differences.

The natural history of human papillomavirus infection.

TL;DR: Viral load and viral type are the main cofactors for progression from infection to cervical intraepithelial lesions and cancer and the adverse health effects of HPV infections can be largely controlled through vaccination and screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Papillomavirus Infection and Cervical Cancer: Epidemiology, Screening, and Vaccination—Review of Current Perspectives

TL;DR: In spite of the successful implementation of the HPV vaccination program in many countries all over the world, problems related to HPV prevention and treatment of the related diseases will continue to persist in developing and underdeveloped countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

The precision prevention and therapy of HPV-related cervical cancer: new concepts and clinical implications.

TL;DR: The fundament here is to elucidate the carcinogenic pattern and applicable targets during HPV‐host interaction, and more urgently, how these concepts and technologies might lead to clinical precision medicine which could provide prediction, prevention, and early treatment for patients.

Human papillomavirus type distribution in 30,848 invasive cervical cancers worldwide: Variation by geographical region, histological type and year of publication.

TL;DR: A meta‐analysis of HPV type‐specific prevalence data published from 1990 to 2010 found that overall HPV prevalence increased significantly and the proportion of ICC associated with HPV16 and/or 18 (HPV16/18) was between 70 and 76% in all world regions except Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human papillomavirus type 16 DNA sequence

TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of HPV16 DNA cloned from an invasive cervical carcinoma was determined, and an interruption of the reading frame coding for a suspected E1 protein is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human papillomavirus types in 115,789 HPV‐positive women: A meta‐analysis from cervical infection to cancer

TL;DR: Genotyping may improve risk stratification of high‐risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV)‐positive women in cervical screening programs; however, prospective data comparing the natural history and carcinogenic potential of individual HR types remain limited.
Journal ArticleDOI

The carcinogenicity of human papillomavirus types reflects viral evolution

TL;DR: HPV16 was uniquely likely both to persist and to cause neoplastic progression when it persisted, making it a remarkably powerful human carcinogen that merits separate clinical consideration, and several clear clues and research directions are presented in the ongoing efforts to understand HPV carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human papillomavirus type 16 sequence variation in cervical cancers: a worldwide perspective.

TL;DR: Intatype human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) sequence variation in tumor samples that were collected and analyzed in an international study of invasive cervical cancer may prove important for the determination of the risk of cervical neoplasia and for the design of HPV-16 vaccine strategies.
