The ‘Trojan horse‘ oncogenic strategy of HPVs in childhood

Abstract: HPVs are considered to be the principal cause of cervical cancer worldwide. During the last decade, their possible oncogenic involvement has also been proposed in a substantial proportion of nongenital cancers, such as breast and lung cancer. The presence of high-risk HPVs in the neonatal oral mucosa supports the transmission of HPVs from the mother to her newborn. This review presents current evidence that supports the perinatal transmission of high-risk HPVs and suggests that this may be the initial step of … Show more

“…The first of these studies ( 46 ) did not find any significant evidence that maternal HPV infection is related to neonatal prematurity, while the other study ( 50 ) suggested that a caesarean section does not decrease the risk for oral HPV persistence in children. In a recent study, we used for the first time the term ‘Trojan horse oncogenic strategy’ to describe the physical history of HPV in childhood ( 54 ). This hypothesis that children act as a reservoir of silent high risk HPV types, analogous to the Trojan horse in Greek mythology, requires further investigation.…”

“…La PRR tiene una incidencia estimada en adultos de 1,8 en 100.000 habitantes y de 4,3 cada 100.000 niños, siendo el tumor infantil de laringe más frecuente 4,5 . Presenta un peak de incidencia bimodal con formas clínicas características para cada grupo etáreo: la forma recurrente juvenil en el grupo de menores de 5 años, transmitido de madre a hijo durante el parto, que se caracteriza por ser más agresiva; y la forma tardía en adultos de 20-30 años que resulta habitualmente del contagio orogenital 6 . Además, existe una tercera forma clínica que es la papilomatosis juvenil con persistencia hacia la adultez 7 .…”

“…El área más frecuentemente afectada es la laringe, específicamente las cuerdas vocales, correspondiendo al 97,5% de las PRR. Además puede comprometer zonas extralaríngeas como esófago, tráquea, bronquios, pulmones, orofaringe y cavidad nasal 6 . El tratamiento de primera línea es la resección quirúrgica de las lesiones con láser, instrumentos fríos, o microdebridador.…”
