We investigated the presence of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) types 16 and 18 DNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from the urinary bladder (46 transitional carcinomas and 10 non-neoplastic normal urinary samples) to find a possible role for HPV types in urinary tract cancerogenesis. The analysis was performed using polymerase chain reaction followed by filter hybridization with oligonucleotide-specific probes. The HPV16 and/or HPV18 genomes were detected in 23 of 46 (50%) bladder carcinomas and in none of 10 (0%) non-neoplastic urinary samples. These results suggest that HPV16 and 18 may carry a risk for the development of malignancy in the urinary tract as it occurs in the anogenital regions.

Abstract

We investigated the presence of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) types 16 and 18 DNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from the urinary bladder (46 transitional carcinomas and 10 non-neoplastic normal urinary samples) to find a possible role for HPV types in urinary tract cancerogenesis. The analysis was performed using polymerase chain reaction followed by filter hybridization with oligonucleotide-specific probes. The HPV16 and/or HPV18 genomes were detected in 23 of 46 (50%) bladder carcinomas and in none of 10 (0%) non-neoplastic urinary samples. These results suggest that HPV16 and 18 may carry a risk for the development of malignancy in the urinary tract as it occurs in the anogenital regions.
