* Cancer is a complex, multistep process involving , lifestyle, environmental, genetic predisposing factors & possible infectious agents that promote carcinogenic transformation.
* Worldwide 17-18% of cancers are related to infectiousdiseases (Africa 25% - 10% in developed world), second only to tobacco use.
* Certain bacteria and parasitesare suspected to have a carcinogenic effect.
* Viruses are one of the most important risk factors for cancer development in humans.
Introduction
http://cancerhelpinghand.com/wp-content
HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) Virus that causes diseases in humans
ranging from common warts to cancer. Non enveloped virus, ~8000 bp circular
DNA, encodes for 6 early (E) proteins responsible for virus replication and 2 late (L) structural proteins.
Infectious cycle mainly in squamous epithelia.
> 200 subtypes with 120 infect human. 30-40 subtypes infect the genital area of
women and men. Subtypes divided into 2 groups: Low risk causing warts: as HPV 6, 11. High risk causing cancer: 15 oncogenic
types mainly HPV 16 and 18.
Human PapillomaVirus (HPV) is implicated in several types of human carcinomas including:
Known:• Cervix uterine (96%) and • Other anogenital (60%),• Subgroup of Head & Neck (30%)
Potential: Subgroup of • Colorectal (33% HPV+?) • Breast (26% HPV+?)
Extrapolation in Saudi Arabia:• HPV-related cancers would represent about 10% of all
cancers in both genders.

Discrepancy between developing & developed countries:
Cervical Cancer in Saudi Arabia:• Cervical cancer ranks # 12
between all cancers in females and accounts only for 2.4% of all new cases.
• This is even lower than in developed countries despite the absence of national screening programs.
• The causes of this low incidence are unknown but suggests the presence of protective variables between known risk factors for its development.

Risk factors for cervical cancer:
EM of HPV
• Most important: infection with human papillomavirus(HPV: + in 85-99%), specially high risk (HR) HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45.
• Co-factors include: sexual activity at early age, number of sexual partners, uncircumcised males partner, multiple pregnancies, long term oral contraceptive, smoking, Chlamydia, HIV infection, impaired immune response, diet, low SES, family history genetic predisposition.
HPV Virus
HPVs mechanisms of transformation:• E6 and E7 oncoproteins of high-risk HPVs bind and degrade
TP53 and pRB controllers of cell cycle checkpoint causing cell over-proliferation and genome instability.

Notes for HPV risk factor for cervical cancer:
• HPV is common, most infections clear spontaneously.
• Only persistent HR HPV infection constitutes a risk.
• Only small proportion of HPV infected women develops cervical cancer.
• Conservative societies are less subjected to HPV infection?!
• Inconsistency between conservative countries point out toward genetic, cultural & environmental differences.
Prevalence of HPV Infection in Saudi Arabia
* Worldwide prevalence of HPV in women varies among studies and countries from 1.5% to 39% and closely reflects age and sexual activity.
* In KSA: 2 early limited studies and many more recent indicated prevalence between 6% - 32% in cervical swabs of women attending routine exam.
* Most infections (80% – 90%) are with high risk HPV16-18.
• The studies included so far 174 patients: • Age at diagnosis: 28-106, median 46 years/old. • Stage of the disease ranged between IA and IVA.• 3 single women.• Multiple pregnancies (median 7 live births). • 11 patients reported other past cervical infections • 6 only had prior screening.• Histology: - squamous 79%
- adenocarcinoma 21%• Age distribution by 5-year
age group shows biphasicoccurrence that peaks at 41-45 and 56-60 years old.

Work on HPV in BC and CR in KSA is in progress….
In KSA:
1. 83% of cervical cancers in our patients are associated with HPV infection.
2. 15 different HPV genotypes (6, 16, 18, 31, 33, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 59, 64, 70, 73 and 82).
3. The two most common HPV genotypes were 16 and 18 that formed together 80% of HPV infections and 67% of all cervical cancer patients.
Conclusions
These data provide basic information for decision makers regarding prevention of cervical cancer in Saudi
Arabia and the implication on screening andvaccination against HPV infection
Implication for screening of cervical cancer in Saudi Arabia
1. Although cervical cancer is the 3rd most common cancer affecting women worldwide, its incidence is low in Saudi women forming about 2.4% of newly diagnosed cancer cases.
2. There are no national screening program for cervical cancer in KSA.
Pap smear is only available for limited number of women attending routine gynecological examination in major
university-based hospitals
Prevention of Cervical Cancer by HPV Vaccination in Saudi Arabia
1. Since 83% of our patients are HPV positive, vaccination is expected to protect more than three quarters (3/4) of cervical cancers in the Kingdom.
2. However, cervical cancer incidence is very low (2.4%) in Saudi women.
3. Therefore, population-wide vaccination program would not be cost-effectiveand may not sensibly decrease the incidence of cervical cancer at the population level.
There are no national vaccination program against HPV in KSA. HPV vaccines are available in major hospitals for females well
informed about the risk and voluntarily wishes to be vaccinated.

14 March 2011Proposal: Vaccination against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) to Prevent Cervical Cancer in Saudi Arabia
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Prevention of cervical cancer is provided by screening and vaccination against HPV infection. Recommendations for the use of HPV vaccine are increasing worldwide. Two available vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil) against the most common HPV genotypes (HPV-16 and 18) are being introduced in Western countries, and promising new broad-spectrum vaccines are in development. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in USA advocates using three injections for optimum protection. Vaccinations are recommended for 11-26 year-old females. The application of such a vaccination program in Saudi Arabia requires knowledge about the particularity of this disease in the Kingdom:
1. Eighty-nine percent of uterine cervical tumors in Saudi Arabia are HPV positive with 79% having high-risk HPV-16/18 infections. Therefore, vaccination is expected to protect against more than three quarters of cervical cancers in the Kingdom.
2. Although cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer affecting women worldwide, its incidence is low in Saudi women forming about 3% of newly diagnosed cancer cases.
3. Therefore, vaccination program would not be cost-effective and may not sensibly decrease the incidence of cervical cancer at the population level.
4. However, there may be specific individual benefits from screening or vaccination for selected women at risk for cervical cancer or women well informed about the risk and voluntarily wishes to be vaccinated.
5. HPV is also implicated in other anogenital, oro-pharyngeal, colorectal and breast tumors forming about 25% of all cancer cases. If the vaccine is equally efficient, reducing the burden of those tumors would justify the implementation of a cost-effective national vaccination prog

• The cervix is part of the female reproductive tract at the opening of uterus - vaginal canal.
• There are two cell types:squamous and glandular.
• Cervical cancers occur in the transition (transformation) zone between the two cell types.
• There are 2 main histological types of cervical cancers: 1. Squamous cell carcinoma 80 – 90% 2. Adenocarcinoma 10% - 20%
• Adenocarcinomas are increasing in the last 3 decades. Rarely, adenosquamous or mixed carcinomas.

Cervical Cancer: What you need to know. http://www.cancer.ca
HPV-mediated progression to cervical cancer:* HPVs access basal cells through micro-abrasions in cervix epithelium. * Expression E1,2,4,5,6,7 genes &
episomal viral DNA replication. * Express L1,2 to encapsidate virions* Shedded virus initiate new infection.
* Low-grade CIN support replication. * HR-HPV progress to high-grade CIN. * In invasive cancer: HPV integrateto host genome, loss of E2, upregulation of E6,7 oncogene.
HPVs & host genetic predisposition:• TP53 gene contains a common polymorphism that is a G-to-C
transversion at codon 72 (rs1042522) located in exon 4.
• This non-synonymous SNP results in Arg to Pro substitutionin the amino acid sequence of the p53 protein.
• Storey et al (1998) found an association between the arginine form of p53 and cervical cancer development.
• This had suggested that the corresponding Ggenotype is more susceptible to HPV E6 mediated degradation.
Suggested mechanism explaining the susceptibility of Arg to degradation by viral HPV E6 protein, which
may predispose carriers to cancer.
Study aim:To evaluate HPV infection and genotypes in invasive cervical cancer in Saudi Arabia
Patients and methods: • 174 patients with cervical cancer. • DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded tissues. • HPV was detected using Linear Array HPV Genotyping Kit
(Roche) that enables the detection of 37 most common anogenital high (13) & low-risk (24) genotypes: 6, 11, 16, 18, 26,31, 33, 35, 39, 40, 42, 45, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 61, 62, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 (MM9),81, 82 (MM4), 83 (MM7), 84 (MM8), IS39, and CP6108.
• PCR using GP5+/GP6+ common primers for confirmation.
