Abstract: | |
Cervical cancer is by far the most important cause of death for Ecuadorian women. Since Harald zur Hausen demonstrated an association between Human Papillomavirus and cervical cancer, this virus has been made responsible of many other types of cancer. Since HPV infections are considered as a sexually transmited disease, the role of males in the epidemiological chain is clear
the epidemiological chain is clear.
In this work, we present the HPV types detected by the Linear Array System (Roche) in the population that assists to our institution for specialized diagnostics and treatment.
The existence of vaccines against the most important types of HPV associated to cancer (type 16 and type 18) makes relevant the identification of those most frequent types foumd in our population.
