“…By now, various studies were conducted to evaluate the prevalence of HPV infection in different parts of Iran, and most of them have reported high prevalence of HPV among studied groups (Nadji et al, 2007;Safaei et al, 2010;Zandi et al, 2010). So we need basic and fundamental works to decrease this preventable disease.…”

Infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of common sexually transmitted diseases leading to cervical cancer. Evaluation of parental knowledge and attitudes toward HPV were aims of present study to provide an appropriate method to decrease burden of this infection on society. During this study, 358 parents were assessed for knowledge about HPV and its related disorders. Some 76% of parents had no information about HPV infection and among the informed parents 36% had obtained their information via internet and others from studying medical resources. The average score of mothers information about HPV infection was higher than that of fathers, and also educational level and age had significant impact on knowledge of parents about HPV. Parent knowledge about the hazards of HPV was higher than their knowledge about modes of transmission. Lack of awareness about HPV infection was high in this study, underlining the urgency of education among all adult people in our society.

“…HPV is a well known critical factor in the development of cervical cancer, but recent evidence indicates HPV may also be involved in the development of lung cancer. HPV infection of lung tissue was found to be associated with increased rates of lung cancer in distinct populations, including Iran [64], China [65], Latin America [66], and Taiwan [67]. These findings, along with the potential impact of the HPV vaccine on lung cancer development, warrant further investigation.…”

Accumulating evidence suggests that gender impacts the incidence, susceptibility and severity of several lung diseases. Gender also influences lung development and physiology. Data from both human and animal studies suggests that sex hormones may contribute to disease pathogenesis or serve as protective factors, depending on the disease involved. In this review, the influence of gender and sex hormones on lung development and pathology will be discussed, with specific emphasis on pulmonary fibrosis, asthma and cancer.

“…Among squamous cell lung carcinomas and adenocarcinomas, 'high-risk' HPV 16 and 18 have been detected more frequently compared to other 'high-risk' HPVs and the 'low-risk' HPV 6 and 11 [116,129,136]. Although HPV 16 has been detected more frequently than HPV 18 in both squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas [111,113,115,117,133], HPV 18 predominance has been demonstrated by other researchers [118,130,134] in both squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas.…”

Recently, the vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) was introduced in the national vaccination programmes of several countries worldwide. The established association between HPV and the progression of cervical neoplasia provides evidence of the expected protection of the vaccine against cervical cancer. During the last two decades several studies have also examined the possible involvement of HPV in non-genital cancers and have proposed the presence of HPV in oesophageal, laryngeal, oropharyngeal, lung, urothelial, breast and colon cancers. The possible involvement of HPV in these types of cancer would necessitate the introduction of the vaccine in both boys and girls. However, the role of HPV in the pathogenesis of these types of cancer has yet to be proven. Moreover, the controversial evidence of the possible impact of the vaccination against HPV in the prevention of non-genital cancers needs to be further evaluated. In this review, we present an overview of the existing epidemiological evidence regarding the detection of HPV in non-genital cancers.
