Penile carcinoma and HPV infection (Review)

Abstract: Penile carcinoma is a relatively frequent health issue in the developing countries such as Africa, Asia and South America, usually affecting men aged between 50 and 70 years. It is a highly treatable disease in its early stages, but has serious physical and psychological consequences. Usually, penile carcinoma is located in the penile glans, in approximately half the cases, with the most frequent histological type being squamous cell carcinoma with its microscopic subtypes. A large number of risk factors have … Show more

“…The incidence of anogenital warts is increasing in children as low-risk subtypes can be transmitted non-sexually, via fomites, fingers, mouth, and skin, especially through self-inoculation or from mother to child [2,3]. These lesions are a common result of the body's lack of ability to clear HPV infection, and while they are often asymptomatic can cause irritation, bleeding, and pain [15]. HPV infection (namely HPV-6 and HPV-11) is also responsible for benign forms of respiratory papillomatosis.…”

“…Erythroplasia of Queyrat is derived from the mucosal glans of the foreskinwith the highest risk of malignant transformation-while Bowen's disease or squamous cell carcinoma in situ is derived from the keratinized skin of the shaft [8]. Penile cancer may also be identified by histology of usual type squamous cell carcinoma, papillary, warty/condylomas, basaloid, verrucous, or sarcomatoid [15]. HPV has been identified in 33-48% of penile tumors, with HPV 16 and 18 being the most frequently identified, though variations have been found within different histologic subtypes, with basaloid/warty squamous cell carcinoma types mostly associated with HPV infection [8,15].…”

“…En los hombres la prevalencia de la infección no declina con la edad [4]. El VPH se detecta entre el 45% al 80% de los pacientes con cáncer de pene, usualmente el VPH16, con una baja incidencia de 22.000 casos anuales a nivel mundial, afectando en su gran mayoría a los hombres con edades entre 50 y 70 años [4,5,[28][29][30].…”

“…There are no data available in Romania on the skin health of patients with HIV infection or the general population, neither globally nor regionally (southeastern region), except for various cases of malignancies (Kaposi' sarcoma, Paget's disease) reported for patients with HIV or manifestations of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in the general population (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Based on these grounds, we conducted this study to investigate the skin health of PLWH in the southeastern part of Romania.…”
