Screening Strategies

Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women in many developing countries constituting 20%-30% of female cancers. The etiological factors of cervical cancer include environmental, social, sexual and sexually transmitted agents including human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV has identified in 99.7% invasive cancer. Objective of the study was to find out the prevalence of HPV-DNA virus among diagnosed cases of preinvasive and invasive diseases and to find out different sociodemographic parameters related to carcinoma cervix. This was a cross sectional study. The study has conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. Duration of study was from May 2005 to May 2006. Samples were collected from diagnosed cases of CIN I, II, III and CIS and invasive cancer. Thirty cases were recruited for collection of cervical scraping. Sample were collected of in a specially designed sampler containing liquid transport medium and preserved in minus 20 Degree Celsius and sent to the DNA laboratory for processing and identification of HPV by hybrid capture II method. The results were analyzed by using SPSS version 11.0 and shown in tables and diagrams. The risk factors for HPV infection identified from the result. These are early sexual activity, years of sexual activity, urban people, and higher number of pregnancies. The test could identify HPV-DNA in 100 % of invasive and 50 % of preinvasive cancer. In this study HPV infection was found as a strong determinant for the development of cervical carcinoma and its precursors. Poor socio-economic condition, lower level of education, early marriage and first delivery, multi-parity, years of sexual activity are the risk factors for developing HPV infection. New guidelines for cervical cancer screening strategies could be able to develop from the information obtained from this study. A population-based study with larger sample will be required for the evaluation of cervical cancer screening strategies.

Attitudes And Perceptions

Cervical cancer can be largely preventable through primary and secondary prevention activities. Following the financial crisis in Greece since 2011 and the increased number of refugees/migrants since 2015 the proportion of vulnerable population groups in Greece increased greatly and the ability of the healthcare sector to respond and to cover the health needs of the population is put under tremendous stress. A cross-sectional study was designed to assess the characteristics of vulnerable women in Greece regarding cervical cancer risk factors, prevention through screening activities and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) knowledge. Two cohorts of women aged 18 to 70 years were studied (142 in 2012 and 122 in 2017) who completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire based on the behavioural model for vulnerable populations. According to this model, the factors that affect the behaviour of women in relation with their knowledge, attitudes and beliefs towards cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine in our study sample are categorised in predisposing factors (age, educational status, nationality menopausal status and housing) and enabling factors (lack of insurance coverage). Results from both univariate and multivariate analyses show that older age, low educational background, refugee/migrant or ethnic minority (Roma) background, menopausal status, housing conditions and lack of insurance coverage are linked with insufficient knowledge on risk factors for cervical cancer and false attitudes and perceptions on cervical cancer preventive activities (Pap smear and HPV vaccine). This is the first study in Greece showing the lack of knowledge and the poor attitudes and perceptions on cervical cancer screening and the HPV vaccine in various groups of vulnerable women. Our results indicate the need of health education and intervention activities according to the characteristics and needs of each group.

Local Risk

Numerous risk factors for breast cancer (BC) have been identified. High-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) is the etiological agent of cervical cancer and in some cases of head and neck cancer, specifically oropharyngeal cancer, but the role of HR-HPV in evoking neoplasia in BC is still unclear. In this study, all women above the age of 18 visiting the oncology clinic at Al-Azhar university hospital and Ain Shams specialized hospital between the period of February 2017 and March 2018 were invited to participate. We determined the prevalence of HR-HPV genotypes 16, 18, and 31 in breast tissue samples from 72 women with treatment-naïve BC and 15 women with benign breast lesions (BBL) by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and primer sets targeting the E6 and E7 regions. High-risk human papilloma virus DNA was detected in 16 of 72 (22.2%) BC cases (viral load range = 0.3-237.8 copies/uL) and 0 of 15 women with BBL. High-risk human papilloma virus was detected in 14 of 16 (87.5%), 2 of 16 (12.5%), and 0 of 16 (0%) for genotypes 16, 18, and 31, respectively. Forty-three age-matched healthy Egyptian women were enrolled as controls for assessment of local risk factors that can be used to initiate a strategy of BC prevention in Egypt. Assessment of the risk factors demonstrated that low education level, passive smoking, lack of physical activity, family history of cancer, and use of oral contraception were significant risk factors for BC. In conclusion, our results lead us to postulate that HR-HPV infection may be implicated in the development of some types of BC in Egyptian women. In addition, identification of local risk factors can support practical prevention strategies for BC in Egypt.
