Papilomavirus humano e o câncer anal

[摘要] Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the commonest sexually transmitted diseases agents. It can provoke condylomata acuminata, considered at risk to dysplasia and neoplasia. Although, high-risk HPVs are necessary to cervical cancer, additional genetic events are essential to malign transormation of most of anal carcinoma. Specialized studies did not explain already if this vírus is the cause or the associated factor to anal carcinoma. More research is needed to solve this doubt. Anyway, we suggest that clinic and sub-clinic lesions control could avoid the eventual evolution to invasive carcinoma.
