T/F: some HPV types can be spread by close skin-to-skin contact

34
Q

condyloma acuminatum has what type of risk?

35

A
  1. contagious
  2. sessile, pink
  3. short, blunted
  4. non-tender, exophytic
  5. larger than papillomas (~1 cm but up to 3 cm)

A

topical agents

44
Q

anogenital condylomata infected with HPV 16, 18 have a higher risk for malignant transformation to what?

45
Q

T/F: oral condyloma has shown to have a higher risk for malignant transformation to SCC when infected with HPV 16, 18

46
Q

when are virtually all sexually active individuals exposed to HPV?

A

by early 20’s

47
Q

what is the prevalence of any GENITAL HPV in American adults aged 18-59 according to the CDC?

48
Q

how does HPV enter epithelial cells?

A

via mucosa and skin

49
Q

what type of cells does HPV infect?

A

basal cells

50
Q

what is an HPV infection?

A

terminal differentiation infected keratinocytes

51
Q

what does an HPV infection comprise of?

A
  1. viral shedding

2. mutations leading to pre-cancerous then cancerous transformation

52
Q

T/F: most HPV infections are asymptomatic and resolve spontaneously

53
Q

over 90% of HPV infections are cleared by the body within how many years?

54
Q

T/F: some cells infected with HPV may remain latent for decades

55
Q

how can some infected cells remain latent for decades?

A
  1. low level replication
  2. minimal viral protein expression
  3. lack of immune clearance
56
Q

how long can a persistent HPV infection last?

A

up to 20 years

57
Q

as infected cells grow, what occurs?

A

mutations occur leading to pre-cancerous then cancerous transformation

58
Q

how does high-risk HPV types cause cancer?

A

high-risk HPV types make proteins E6, E7 and L1, L2

59
Q

what does E6, E7 allow?

A

cell to grow in uncontrolled manner and avoid cell death

60
Q

what does L1, L2 comprise?

comprise the virus capsid (shell) required for virus transmission, spread and survival

61

which proteins causes the virus assembly and release?

A

L1, L2, E4

62
Q

which proteins causes cell proliferation and high level episomal replication occur?

A

E1, E2, E4, E5, E6, E7

63
Q

which proteins causes latent infection and low evel episomal replication occur?

64
Q

a persistent infection may be a result of what?

A

infected cells are not destroyed

65
Q

T/F: shed epithelial cells in oral rinses can be used to identify a latent infection

A

false, cannot

66
Q

shed epithelial cells in oral rinses cannot discriminate between what?

A

an oral and oropharyngeal infection

67
Q

what percent of oropharyngeal cancer is caused by HPV?

68
Q

what percent of cervical cancer is caused by HPV?

69
Q

73
Q

oral and oropharyngeal cancer are both what?

A

head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC)

74
Q

where is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) typically occur?

A

anterior to tonsillar pillars

75
Q

what percent of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are HPV-related?

76
Q

T/F: there is consistent evidence that HPV is a risk factor for OSCC

77
