Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The proportion of the cancer burden in Nigeria that is attributable to HPV infection from 2012 to 2014 is quantified using HPV prevalence estimated from previous studies and data from two population based cancer registries (PBCR) in Nigeria.

Evidence on the prevalence, incidence, mortality and trends of human papilloma virus-associated cancers in sub-Saharan Africa: systematic scoping review.

TL;DR: This study observed a gap of knowledge regarding the epidemiological data on the recent HPV prevalence in SSA, which will have a potential impact in determining the distribution of HPV on different body sites (cervix, penis, vagina, vulva, anus and oropharynx).
Journal ArticleDOI

The interplay of HIV and human papillomavirus-related cancers in sub-Saharan Africa: scoping review

TL;DR: HIV positivity is associated with increased prevalence of HPV infection on different anatomic sites, which will result in increased burden of HPV-related cancers among PLHIV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling spatial access to cervical cancer screening services in Ondo State, Nigeria

TL;DR: Assessing access to cervical cancer screening better identifies potentially underserved locations in rural Nigeria that can inform plans for cervical cancer screenings including new or improved infrastructure, effective resource allocation, introduction of service options for areas with lower access, and design of public transportation networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classical HLA alleles are associated with prevalent and persistent cervical high-risk HPV infection in African women

TL;DR: This first study to investigate the association between HLA alleles and persistent hrHPV in African women and identified important risk alleles that merit further investigation provide new insights into risk factors for hrHPVs infection in African ancestry women.

Estimates of worldwide burden of cancer in 2008: GLOBOCAN 2008.

TL;DR: The results for 20 world regions are presented, summarizing the global patterns for the eight most common cancers, and striking differences in the patterns of cancer from region to region are observed.

Cancer Incidence in Five Continents

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to establish a database of histological groups and to provide a level of consistency and quality of data that could be applied in the design of future registries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human papillomavirus is a necessary cause of invasive cervical cancer worldwide.

TL;DR: The presence of HPV in virtually all cervical cancers implies the highest worldwide attributable fraction so far reported for a specific cause of any major human cancer, and the rationale for HPV testing in addition to, or even instead of, cervical cytology in routine cervical screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

The global health burden of infection-associated cancers in the year 2002.

TL;DR: The fraction of the different types of cancer, and of all cancers worldwide and in different regions, has been estimated using several methods; primarily by reviewing the evidence for the strength of the association (relative risk) and the prevalence of infection in different world areas.

A review of human carcinogens--Part B: biological agents

TL;DR: In this paper, the carcinogenicity of the biological agents classifi ed as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1) and to identify additional tumour sites and mechanisms of carcinogenesis (tables 1 and 2).
