Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is estimated to be the primary etiological factor for approximately 5% of all malignant tumors. HR-HPV infection is a well-established risk factor in the development of certain anogenital cancers, including cervical, vulvar, penile, and anal cancers. Recently, increasing attention has been directed toward the role of this infection in the development of other types of malignant tumors. Understanding the prevalence of HPV infection across various malignant tumor types may enhance our comprehension of the carcinogenesis process and assist in identifying novel prognostic and/or predictive factors in non-anogenital cancers. Although HPV infection is a recognized risk factor in the aforementioned cancers, its significance in the development of many other malignant tumors remains under investigation. Additionally, methods for detecting transcriptionally active infection, in particular, require further research. Therefore, we warmly invite you to submit your publication to the Special Issue of Cancers entitled “Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Related Cancer”.
