Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prevalence of human papillomaviruses (HPV) in cancers located at different sites in patients from west Algerian and collected between 2010 and 2014.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Extracted DNA from archival formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues was provided from 39 anogenital cancers, 10 head and neck cancers and 36 skin cancers. The viral DNA was detected using the INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping Extra(®) kit.
RESULTS: The prevalence of HPV was 100% in cervical cancers, 40% in vaginal cancers, 17% in vulvar cancers, 33% in anal cancers, 0% in tonsil and larynx cancers and 6.4% in skin squamous cell carcinoma. In cervical cancers, the most prevalent genotypes were HPV16 (52%) and HPV18 (12%) as single infection.
CONCLUSION: The overall results agree partially with literature. Extensive research is necessary to promote HPV vaccine to reduce in particular the burden of cervical cancer in Algeria.
