High-risk HPVs are the etiological agents of cervical and other anogenital malignancies and low-risk HPVs induce only benign genital warts. Since high-risk HPVs have been shown to possess oncogenic potential, an association between HPV infection and prostatic carcinoma Pca has been suggested. Some authors demonstrated that HPV infection play an important role in the pathogenesis of Pca. Active research is ongoing to highlight the mechanisms by which HPV involved in the development of cancer. The aim of this article is to review the studies that investigated the association between HPV and Pca and to explore the mechanism of HPV oncogenesis.  ISSN : 17334454  Journal Name : Saudi Med J.  Volume : 28  Issue Number : 3  Publishing Year : 2007 AH 2007 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, April 11, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email جودة المغربي Al-Maghrabi, Jaudah Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  26374.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
