• Abstract

  Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2), the cause of COVID 19, has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The majority of severe cases and mortality occur in individuals with underlying health conditions. Still, how these risks apply to patients with cancer remains unclear. Very preliminary study conducted in cancer patients in China, indicates th…

• Abstract

  Head and neck cancer (HNC), with an estimated global burden of approximately 700,000 incident cases and 380,000 deaths per year in 2012, has a high case fatality rate worldwide. Recent findings indicate that the incidence of HPV (Human papillomavirus)-driven HNC has been steadily increasing in the USA and some European countries. However, data from HPV prevalence in HNC is limited in Lati…

• Abstract

  Cervical cancer is estimated to be the third most frequent neoplasm among the Brazilian female population in the biennium 2018-2019 (INCA, 2017), thus being a disease of great epidemiological relevance. Neoplasms of the uterine cervix are mainly divided into adenocarcinomas and epidermoid carcinomas. Adenocarcinomas are more difficult to detect on the pap smear, so their relative prevalen…

• Abstract

  In recent years, the incidence of head and neck tumors has increased despite the consumption of alcohol and tabaco has decreased. This has been attributed mainly to the infection by Human Papilomavirus (HPV). HPV-linked cancers affect mainly the oropharynx, specially tonsils and the base of tongue. Even though diagnostic and therapeutic interventions have improved with the use of multimod…

• Abstract

  Persistent infection of high-risk HPV is an essential factor for cervical cancer development. In woman with chronic infection, immune responses are inefficient and incapable to clear viral infection, leading to its persistence and an increased risk of tumor onset.Toll Like Receptors are a family of membrane receptors of the innate immune response, responsible for patterns of pathogens and…
