Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) belongs to the diverse group of sexually transmitted viruses that manifest affinity to the squamous epithelia of the skin and mucous membranes. Over 100 types of HPV have been described and identified in human tissues, and it has been proved that persistent infection with high-risk types of the virus (types 16 and 18 in particular) could lead to cervical cancer. High-risk HPV types have been found in approximately 70% of all cases of cervical cancer worldwide. The aim of this study was to describe the role of HPV in the process of neoplastic transformation in epithelial cells and to emphasize the prophylactic significance of vaccinations against the virus.

Streszczenie

Wirus brodawczaka ludzkiego (HPV – human papillomavirus) jest zaliczany do zróżnicowanej grupy wirusów przenoszonych drogą płciową, wykazujących powinowactwo do nabłonka wielowarstwowego płaskiego skóry oraz błon śluzowych człowieka. Do chwili obecnej wyodrębniono ponad 100 typów tego wirusa i udowodniono, iż przetrwałe zakażenie jego onkogennymi typami (zwłaszcza 16 i 18) może prowadzić do rozwoju raka szyjki macicy. Obecność tych typów HPV stwierdzono w około 70% przypadków raka szyjki macicy na świecie. Celem pracy było omówienie roli HPV w procesie transformacji nowotworowej komórek nabłonkowych oraz podkreślenie znaczenia profilaktycznego zastosowania szczepionki przeciw temu wirusowi.
