Description
Shirin Akter Begum and co-authors map HPV genotypes in cervical lesions at a Dhaka hospital, in a 2026 study. Lasting infection with high-risk human papillomavirus drives most cervical precancer and cancer. Knowing which types dominate locally helps shape vaccine and screening policy in Bangladesh.
Three hundred women with confirmed lesions joined the study between 2022 and 2024, split between precancer and invasive cancer. Among cancer cases, most tested positive for high-risk HPV, and type 16 dominated by a wide margin. Type 18 and several less common types appeared at low rates, and some women carried multiple types. Squamous cell carcinoma was the main cancer form in both positive and negative groups.
