Microbiota Dysbiosis is Associated with HPV-Induced Cervical Carcinogenesis

Dr. Wojciech Kwaśniewski will present the findings of the present study on "Microbiota Dysbiosis is Associated with HPV-Induced Cervical Carcinogenesis". 

Short summary of the talk: "Over the last decade, it has been indicated that the development and introduction of molecular-based technology has provided novel information regarding the composition of the vaginal‐cervical flora, as well as the abnormal colonization of the genital tract by pathogens. It has been reported that microbe‐induced inflammation can contribute to cervical cancer by stimulating the production of specific cytokines and chemokines, which promote proliferation and/or inhibit apoptosis. Microbiota have been demonstrated to increase, as well as decrease susceptibility to HPV infection. The findings of the present study demonstrated a possible interaction between bacterial flora and HPV infection, as well as an association between this interaction and clinical cervical neoplasia."
