Epidemiology of High-risk HPV Infection in Women Participating in a Pilot Screening Program for...
HPV InfectionCervical cancer is due to a persistent infection with a group of viruses known as high-risk Human Papillomaviruses (hrHPV). Viral DNA can be easily detected in a cervical sample by a procedure called 'HPV testing', which can be used as a relevant screening test. A pilot screening program called START-HPV has been set up in the Ardennes, a French administrative area localized in the North of France, with HPV testing as a primary screening test.This observational study aimed to evaluate hrHPV genotypes repartition in the population who participate in the START-HPV screening program. This study will allow a better knowledge of hrHPV infection epidemiology in a screened population.
Randomized Trial of Vaginal Self Sampling for Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Human Papillomavirus InfectionCervical Intraepithelial NeoplasiaUp to 30% of Canadian women do not participate in Pap smear screening for cervical cancer prevention despite many being members of family practices and having access to family physicians. One reason is reluctance to undergo pelvic examination. The investigators purpose is to determine whether the offer of vaginal self sample collection for oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) testing increases participation in cervical cancer screening compared to repeat reminder for Pap smear testing among female family practice members who have not previously responded to invitations for Pap testing.
Human Papillomavirus Infection and Virus Genotyping in Uterine Cervix Cancer in Venezuela
Cervical CancerHypothesis: If high risk genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the cause of cervical cancer worldwide, the genotypes associated with cervical cancer in Venezuela would be the same types found in other countries. Objectives: Primary objective: The objective of this investigation is to determine the presence and genotypes of HVP infection in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (CIN 2/3), and Stage I cervical epidermoid carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma. Specific objectives: To establish the presence of HPV in cervical cancer patients in Venezuela by geographic distribution. To establish which HPV types are linked with cervical cancer in Venezuela by geographic distribution.
