Humani papilomavirusi i karcinom vrata maternice

Danas je opće prihvaćeno da je gotovo svaki karcinom pločastog epitela i adenokarcinom vrata maternice uzrokovan nekim od onkogenih(visokorizičnih) tipova papilomavirusa čovjeka (HPV, od engl. human papillomavirus), stoga se današnje mjere prevencije temelje na suzbijanju infekcije onkogenim tipovima HPV-a. HPV-tipovi 16 i 18 zajedno uzrokuju gotovo 70% slučajeva karcinoma vrata maternice, pa se primarna prevencija može postići primjenom profilaktičkog cjepiva protiv ta dva onkogena virusa. Osim toga, probirom HPV testiranjem koji otkriva žene s povećanim rizikom za razvoj prekanceroza i samog karcinoma poboljšava se uspješnost probira Papa testom.

Summary. The infection with oncogenic (high-risk) types of human papillomavirus (HPV) causes nearly all cervical squamous cancers and cervical adenocarcinomas. That is why the prevention of cervical cancer is generally based on the suppression of infection by HPV types 16 and 18, which together cause almost 70% of cervical cancer cases. Therefore, the primary prevention of cervical cancer can be achieved by the use of prophylactic vaccine aimed at these two oncogenic HPV types. In addition, HPV testing that detects women at high risk for the development of precancerous lesions and cancer improves Pap smear screening results.
