Prevalence and Distribution of Human Papillomavirus Genotypes (1997–2019) and Their Association With Cervical Cancer and Precursor Lesions in Women From Southern Mexico

Abstract

This study provides current data on the prevalence and distribution of HPV genotypes in women from southern Mexico, which could serve as a valuable reference to guide nationwide CC screening programs and provide scientific evidence that could be useful for vaccine development efforts. Likewise, it was identified that infection with carcinogenic HPV genotypes is an independent risk factor for LSIL, HSIL, and CC.
