Human papilloma virus (HPV) know a lot of people as a trigger of cervical cancer in women. And, soon, of the prostate? Two Australian scientists have evaluated 26 studies on the subject and come to the conclusion: HP-viruses might also play a causal role in the Emergence of this type of cancer – it was even “very likely”. They report their results in the journal “Infectious Agents and Cancer”.
Of HPV there are several different virus variants which unites a characteristic: they can be transmitted during Sex. Although condoms can reduce the risk of infection, can prevent this but not always. It is known that infection with certain virus variants increases the risk for cancer – not only the cervix, but also on the Anus, Penis or in the mouth and throat. To protect against the dangerous virus variants, there is a vaccination. It is recommended in Germany and equally for girls as well as boys.
The Diagnosis

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men in Germany. Annually, approximately 59,000 people are diagnosed with gland new malignant growths of the so-called prostate. Most of them are in an advanced age, the average age at diagnosis is 72 years. Even though the cancer is widespread, little is known about their origin is known. Experts suggest that a hereditary predisposition could play a role.
Now, the scientist Duo, the “School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science” in Sydney once again brings you HP virus as a possible trigger into the conversation. The discussion is not new, the context is examined for a number of years. The researchers suggest that HPV infection could trigger the development of cancer on elements of the immune system. Could possibly also play other pathogens a role, acting with the HP-virus interactions. According to the researchers, the role of HPV in prostate cancer is very complex and differs significantly from that of cervical cancer.
Probably the most important note for These is that the HP virus of high-risk type of prostate cancer would be “significant” occur more frequently than in healthy prostate tissue, the researchers write.
“A valid scientific evidence is missing.”
Prof. Michael Muders, a pathologist and Director of the Rudolf-Becker-laboratory for prostate cancer research, refers to similar studies, the put the connection close. In the current study, he warns, however, against jumping to conclusions. So far, there is still no evidence that HP viruses play a causative role in prostate cancer, he stresses. Such, for example, Experiments with cell cultures or animal could provide the experiments. The corresponding data are not yet published but.
“In the current, this Review is a connection between HPV infection and prostate cancer is only due to associations close,” said Muders. “However, more stringent criteria were applied as in the previous meta-analyses. Nevertheless, a valid scientific evidence based on which further recommendations can be is still missing.”
Vaccination against HPV
HPV is only to pathogens is one of many disease that could play a role in prostate cancer, emphasizing the Australian researchers. Nevertheless, they were the only pathogens against which there is a vaccine. For this reason, it is important to examine the relationship in more detail. Whether and how a vaccination the development of prostate could prevent cancer, but it is still completely unclear.

According to Michael Muders, the study of the basic vaccination recommendations could give “more emphasis”. The vaccination serve from a medical point of view, the prevention of cervical cancer but also from tumours of the mouth and throat area. “Unfortunately, this type of prevention in Germany is not as widely used as, for example, in Scandinavian countries,” says Muders. “There is a need.”
The Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko) recommends HPV vaccination for boys and girls aged 9 to 14 years. A missed vaccination should be rescheduled as early as possible”, at the latest, until the age of 17 years”, and ideally before the first sexual contact, it says in a fact sheet. It may occur after vaccination to the short-term side effects such as headaches, dizziness, or fatigue. Also, the injection site may redden, swell or pain.
