Abstract
Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It is important to study the prevalence and distribution of HPV genotypes before implementing the HPV vaccination program. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of CA cases and the distribution of HPV genotypes in Shandong Province, China. One-to-one questionnaire surveys were conducted on all patients diagnosed with CA in sentinel hospitals from Shandong Province, China. HPV genotypes were determined using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-reverse dot blot hybridization method. The study enrolled 1185 patients (870 males and 315 females) and found that CA patients are mainly males and sexually active people between the ages of 20 and 40. Recurrence occurred in 34.7% patients. Among the 880 CA patients who underwent HPV typing, the HPV test positivity rate was 91.4%. In these cases, low-risk (LR) HPV infection was predominant, with an infection rate of 91.3%, while high-risk (HR) HPV genotypes were found in 53.5% patients. The most frequent HPV genotypes encountered were HPV6 (57.8%), HPV11 (37.2%), HPV16 (13.7%), and HPV42 (10.3%). HPV6 and/or HPV11 are the main infections in all patients, and more than half of the patients are coinfected with HR-HPV. However, unlike other regions, HPV42 has a higher prevalence rate among CA patients in Shandong Province and is a nonvaccine HPV genotype. Therefore, regular HPV typing helps to understand the characteristics of specific genotypes and the choice of the best type for vaccine coverage.

[PMID: 37279655 PMCID: PMC10733738 DOI: 10.1093/infdis/jiad204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 non-A lineage variants have higher carcinogenic potential for cervical cancer. HPV-16 variants natural history among males is not established. We evaluated HPV-16 variants prevalence and persistence in the external genitalia of men enrolled in the prospective HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study. METHODS The HIM Study included men from the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. HPV-16 variants were distinguished using polymerase chain reaction sequencing. The prevalence of HPV-16 variants was assessed, and associations with infection persistence were estimated. RESULTS We characterized the HPV-16 variants for 1700 genital swab samples from 753 men and 22 external genital lesions in 17 men. The prevalence of HPV-16 lineages differed by country and marital status (P < .001). Overall, 90.9% of participants harbored lineage A variants. The prevalence of non-A lineages was heterogenous among countries. HPV-16 lineage A variants were associated with a 2.69-fold increased risk of long-term persistent infections compared with non-A lineages. All high-grade penile intraepithelial neoplasia harbored lineage A variants and occurred in the context of long-term persistent infections with the same variants. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence and persistence of HPV-16 variants observed at the male external genitalia suggest differences in the natural history of these variants between men and women, which may be associated with intrinsic differences in the infected genital epithelia.

Detection of variable genotypes in common human papillomavirus-associated invasive penile squamous cell carcinomas: a study of 177 human papillomavirus-positive cases. Hum Pathol 2023; 139:65-72. [PMID: 37429448 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2023.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is detected in 30-50% of invasive penile carcinomas, and it is frequently associated with basaloid and warty morphological features. Based on this heterogeneity and different clinical behaviors, we hypothesized a variation in their HPV genotypic composition. To test this, we evaluated 177 HPV-positive cases: basaloid (114), warty-basaloid (28), and warty (condylomatous) (35) invasive carcinomas. HPV DNA detection and genotyping was performed using the SPF-10/DEIA/LiPA25 system. Nineteen HPV genotypes were detected. High-risk HPVs predominated (96%), and low-risk HPVs were rarely present. Most common genotype was HPV16 followed by HPVs 33 and 35. According to the genotypes identified, 93% of the cases would be covered with current vaccination programs. There was a significant variation in the distribution of HPV16 and non-HPV16 genotypes according to histological subtype. HPV16 was significantly frequent in basaloid (87%) and was less frequent in warty carcinomas (61%). This molecular difference, along with their distinctive macro-microscopic and prognostic features, makes basaloid and warty carcinomas unique. The gradual decreasing frequency of HPV16 demonstrated in basaloid, warty-basaloid, and warty carcinomas suggest that the basaloid cell, present in those types in decreasing proportions, may be responsible for the differences.

The Clinical Utility of Circulating HPV DNA Biomarker in Oropharyngeal, Cervical, Anal, and Skin HPV-Related Cancers: A Review. Pathogens 2023; 12:908.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is recognized as being related to a wide variety of known cancers: cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, vaginal, penile, and skin. For some of these cancers, rigorous algorithms for screening, therapeutical interventions, and follow-up procedures have been established. Vaccination using the nonvalent anti-HPV vaccine, which prevents infection regarding the most frequently involved high-risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58) and low-risk HPV types (6 and 11), has also extensively prevented, controlled, and even eradicated HPV infections. Still, even with all of these multidisciplinary interventions, the burden of HPV cancers is still high worldwide. The circulating DNA of HPV-induced cancers is thought to be an adequate biomarker for optimizing the control of these virus-related cancers. We analyzed the literature published in the last 5 years regarding ctDNA and four of the above-mentioned cancers. The most frequently used assay for ctDNA detection was the droplet digital PCR assay, used for the management of therapy in the late stages of cancer. ctDNA could not be used for early detection in any of the studied cancers. The OPSCCs were the most frequent cancers analyzed via ctDNA assays. Larger, properly designed cohort studies might establish the clinical utility of this biomarker.

Penile intraepithelial neoplasia: Distribution of subtypes, HPV genotypes and p16 INK4a in 84 international cases. Hum Pathol 2023; 131:1-8. [PMID: 36427594 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2022.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
There are few pathologic or molecular studies of penile precancerous lesions, and the majority refers to lesions associated with invasive carcinomas. Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PeIN) is classified in two morphologically and distinctive molecular groups, non-HPV and HPV-related with special subtypes. The primary purpose of this international series was to classify PeIN morphologically, detect HPV genotypes and determine their distribution according to PeIN subtypes. A secondary aim was to evaluate the p16INK4a immunostaining as a possible HPV surrogate for high-risk HPV infection in penile precancerous lesions. Samples consisted of 84 PeIN cases, part of a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 1095 penile carcinomas designed to estimate the HPV DNA prevalence in penile cancers using PCR and p16INK4a immunostaining. Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PeIN) was classified in HPV-related (basaloid, warty-basaloid, warty, hybrid, and mixed subtypes) and non-HPV-related (differentiated), the former being the most frequent. PeIN subtypes were differentiated (non-HPV-related) and basaloid, warty-basaloid, warty, hybrid and mixed (HPV-related). Basaloid PeIN was the most commonly diagnosed subtype, and HPV16 was the most frequent HPV genotype detected. Warty-basaloid and warty PeIN showed a more heterogeneous genotypic composition. Most HPV genotypes were high-risk but low-risk HPV genotypes were also present in a few cases (4%). A single HPV genotype was detected in 82% of HPV positive cases. In contrast, multiple genotypes were detected in the remaining 18% of cases. The findings in this study support the paradigm that penile in situ neoplasia, like its invasive counterparts, is HPV dependent or independent and has distinctive morphological subtypes readily identified in routine practice. Considering that HPV16 is clearly the predominant type, and that the three available vaccines have HPV16, all of them will be suitable for vaccination programs; the price of the vaccines will be probably the main determinant to choose the vaccine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies show an association between smoking and anal cancer. The objective of this study was to assess the association between smoking and anal HPV (human papillomavirus) prevalence, incidence, and persistence in men. METHODS The HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study is a multinational study that enrolled HIV-negative men. At baseline and follow-up visits, anal specimens were collected. HPV genotyping was assessed by linear array. Prevalence ratios (PR) were used to assess the association between smoking and anal HPV prevalence. Odds ratios (OR) were used to assess the association between smoking and anal HPV incidence and ≥12-months persistence. RESULTS Current smokers have a higher prevalence [adjusted PR (aPR), 1.36; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-1.73) and incidence [adjusted OR (aOR), 1.74; 95% CI, 1.26-2.39] and ≥12-months persistence (aOR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.19-2.33) of any anal HPV compared with never smokers. There were no differences in the prevalence, incidence, or persistence of anal HPV between former and never smokers. Smoking status was not associated with the prevalence or persistence of anal HPV among men who have sex with men but was associated with higher incidence of HR-HPV. Among men that have sex with women (MSW), current smokers had an increased prevalence and incidence of LR-HPV compared with never smokers. CONCLUSIONS Current smokers had a higher prevalence, persistence, and incidence of HPV compared with never smokers. Further research is needed to assess the role smoking in anal HPV persistence and progression to disease. IMPACT Prevention initiatives should raise awareness about smoking and the risk factor of anal HPV infection and anal cancer.

Abstract
Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) is classified as human papillomavirus (HPV)- and non-HPV-related. This classification is associated with distinct morphologic subtypes. The natural history and prognosis of PeIN subtypes are not well known. This study aims to evaluate clinicopathological features, HPV status, and outcome of PeIN subtypes. Eighty-two lesions from 64 patients with isolated PeIN were retrospectively reviewed. Mean age was 59 years. Lesions were multicentric in 34% of patients and affected glans (33%), shaft (26%), and foreskin (20%). Histologically, 22% of patients had coexisting lesions, classified as hybrid and mixed. HPV-related PeIN (97%) included basaloid (59%), warty (8%), warty-basaloid (8%), hybrid (19%) and mixed (3%) types. P16 and HPV positivity occurred in 99% and 82% of lesions, respectively. HPV 16 was more common in basaloid PeIN. Multiple genotypes were detected in 35%, more commonly in hybrid PeIN (P = 0.051). Positive margins occurred in 63% of excisions. PeIN recurred in 48% of excisions and 30% of overall repeated procedures, and progression to invasive carcinoma occurred in 2%. At follow-up, 86% of patients had no evidence of disease and 12% were alive with disease. Lichen sclerosus occurred in non-HPV and HPV-related PeIN (100% and 47%).In conclusion, HPV-related and, more specifically basaloid PeIN were the predominant types and preferentially associated with HPV 16. While PeIN had a high recurrence rate, there was a slow and infrequent progression to invasive or metastatic carcinoma with multimodal treatments. Additional studies are needed to understand biology and natural history of PeIN.

Abstract
Condyloma acuminatum is a common clinical outcome of human papillomavirus (HPV) in men. A prospective investigation was performed of the clinical and molecular profile of 122 patients with condyloma acuminatum treated by the Brazilian public healthcare system. The patients were evaluated clinically. The fragments were submitted to molecular analysis for the identification of HPV genotypes. A total of 104 (85.2%) patients presented multiple warts and 18 (14.8%) presented a single wart. The predominant location was the body of the penis (48.4% of cases of multiple warts and 7.4% of cases of single warts), and 49 (40.2%) cases were recurrences and 73 (59.8%) were initial occurrences. Regarding sexual activity, 56 patients (45.9%) had multiple partners and 65 (53.3%) had a single partner. The most frequent genotype was HPV6 (70%). In conclusion, the most frequent anatomic location of condyloma acuminatum was the body of the penis in the present sample. The present findings suggest that the natural history of infection by HPV is not yet completely known and that greater care is needed to ensure clinical safety in the follow-up of these patients due to the oncogenic potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Routine human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is performed in cervival cancer and is required for classification of some head and neck cancers. In penile cancer a statement on HPV association of the carcinoma is required. In most cases p16 immunohistochemistry as a surrogate marker is applied in this setting. Since differing clinical outcomes for HPV positive and HPV negative tumors are described we await HPV testing to be requested more frequently by clinicians, also in the context of HPV vaccination, where other HPV subtypes are expected to emerge. METHOD Therefore, a cohort of archived, formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) penile neoplasias was stained for p16 and thereafter tested for HPV infection status via PCR based methods. Additionally to Sanger sequencing, we chose LCD-Array technique (HPV 3.5 LCD-Array Kit, Chipron; LCD-Array) for the detection of HPV in our probes expecting a less time consuming and sensitive HPV test for our probes. RESULTS We found that LCD-Array is a sensitive and feasible method for HPV testing in routine diagnostics applicable to FFPE material in our cohort. Our cohort of penile carcinomas and carcinomas in situ was associated with HPV infection in 61% of cases. We detected no significant association between HPV infection status and histomorphological tumor characteristics as well as overall survival. CONCLUSIONS We showed usability of molecular HPV testing on a cohort of archived penile carcinomas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating LCD-Array technique on a cohort of penile neoplasias.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies in women have shown an increased risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition with prior human papilloma virus (HPV) infection; however, few studies have been conducted among men. Our objective was to assess whether HPV-related external genital lesions (EGLs) increase risk of HIV seroconversion among men. METHODS A total of 1379 HIV-negative men aged 18 to 70 years from the United States, Mexico, and Brazil were followed for up to 7 years and underwent clinical examination for EGLs and blood draws every 6 months. Human immunodeficiency virus seroconversion was assessed in archived serum. Cox proportional hazards and marginal structural models assessed the association between EGL status and time to HIV seroconversion. RESULTS Twenty-nine participants HIV seroconverted during follow-up. Older age was associated with a lower hazard of HIV seroconversion. We found no significant difference in the risk of HIV seroconversion between men with and without EGLs (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.94; 95% confidence interval, 0.32-2.74). Stratified analyses focusing on men that have sex with men found no association between EGLs and HIV seroconversion risk (hazards ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.00-1.86). CONCLUSIONS External genital lesions were not associated with higher risk for HIV seroconversion in this multinational population, although statistical power was limited as there were few HIV seroconversions. Results may differ in populations at higher risk for HIV.

Abstract
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to various cancers in males and females. The prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV vary depending on geographical region and the immunity provided by vaccines. Investigation of HPV epidemiology is of great meaning for the development of prevention programs. Methods From January 2017 to September 2019, using PCR-reverse dot blot hybridisation, we determined the HPV subtypes in 2801 patients 17-89 years old at the sexually transmitted diseases (STD) clinic of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. Results The HPV infection rate was 50.79% in males and 50.64% in females. The most common HPV genotype in males and females was HPV6 (30.15% and 30.43%), followed by HPV16 (18.76% and 20.65%) and HPV11 (14.61% and 15.67%). Infection with a single HPV subtype predominated in both males and females, and the rate in males was higher than in females. By contrast, the rate of high-risk HPV (hrHPV) and low-risk HPV (lrHPV) mixed infection in females was higher than in males. Most HPV-positive patients were 20-39 years of age. The prevalence of infection with only hrHPV differed among the age groups; the peak age was 50 to 59 years. Conclusion The HPV prevalence was higher among the STD clinic outpatients than the general population. Therefore, a large-scale survey of high-risk populations is needed. It is anticipated that HPV vaccines, regular education and physical examinations may have a significant impact on the prevention of HPV-related diseases in high-risk groups.

Abstract
Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) is a rare skin condition with potential to progress to invasive penile cancer. We performed a systematic review of treatment options and outcomes for PeIN. Topical agents showed response and recurrence rates of 40-100% and 20% for imiquimod, and 48-74% and 11% for 5-fluorouracil, respectively. Discontinuation of topical agents because of side effects was observed in 12% of cases. Response rates for laser therapies were 52-100%, with recurrence in 7-48% of cases and a change in penile sensitivity in 50%. Circumcision cleared preputial PeIN. Rates of recurrence after surgical treatment of glans PeIN were 25% for wide local excision, 4% for Mohs surgery, 5% for total glans resurfacing, and 10% for glansectomy. There are limited data on factors predictive of treatment response and on sequencing of treatment options. PATIENT SUMMARY: Several treatment options are available for men with precancerous lesions of the foreskin or glans. Close follow-up is necessary as lesions can recur or progress to invasive penile cancer.

Abstract
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is a rare cancer with orphan disease designation and a prevalence of 0.1-1 per 100,000 men in high-income countries, but it constitutes up to 10% of malignancies in men in some African, Asian and South American regions. Risk factors for PSCC include the absence of childhood circumcision, phimosis, chronic inflammation, poor penile hygiene, smoking, immunosuppression and infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Several different subtypes of HPV-related and non-HPV-related penile cancers have been described, which also have different prognostic profiles. Localized disease can be effectively managed by topical therapy, surgery or radiotherapy. As PSCC is characterized by early lymphatic spread and imaging is inadequate for the detection of micrometastatic disease, correct and upfront surgical staging of the inguinal lymph nodes is crucial in disease management. Advanced stages of disease require multimodal management. Optimal sequencing of treatments and patient selection are still being investigated. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimens are the mainstay of systemic therapy for advanced PSCC, but they have poor and non-durable responses and high rates of toxic effects, indicating a need for the development of more effective and less toxic therapeutic options. Localized and advanced penile cancers and their treatment have profound physical and psychosexual effects on the quality of life of patients and survivors by altering sexual and urinary function and causing lymphoedema.

Abstract
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are pathologies that have viruses, bacteria, protozoa and fungi as infectious agents, affecting millions of people worldwide and causing physical and psychological consequences for the carrier. Some of these infections such as HIV, HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis may present an asymptomatic phase, making the diagnosis difficult, which is often only performed when the couple looks for infertility treatment after not achieving spontaneous pregnancy. Infertility affects 15% of couples, 50% of cases are male-related, and it is estimated that STDs, which interfere with the physiology of the male reproductive system and may impair semen in parameters such as motility, concentration, morphology and number, cause 15% of male infertility cases. Since STDs treatments are increasing the expectation and quality of life of infected patients, discussing issues such as sexuality and reproduction is of great importance in clarifying unknown facts. This paper aims to discuss how the infectious processes associated with HIV, HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis can interfere with semen quality causing male infertility without apparent cause.

Abstract
HPV infection affects about 50% of sexually active individuals at least once in a lifetime. Diagnosis is made on careful inspection of the genital area and can be divided into benign lesions (genital warts or condyloma acuminatum) and pre-malignant lesions (intraepithelial neoplasia) that can lead to cancer (invasive neoplasia). Diagnostic recommendations are reviewed in Male, Female, Couple and in the immunocompromised host. Recent histological concepts are also discussed.

Abstract
CASE REPORT A 65-year-old Caucasian man presented with a debilitating anogenital lesion. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS The differential diagnosis of anogenital lesions includes infectious (syphilis, herpes simplex virus), noninfectious (hidradenitis suppuritiva, lymphedema), benign (condyloma acuminata), and malignant pathologies (squamous cell carcinoma, Kaposi sarcoma). DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT, MANAGEMENT, AND OUTCOME Biopsy of an anogenital lesion will determine any oncologic potential. Further imaging can better characterize the disease. Once in the operating room, oncologic principles should be adhered to and quality of life concerns prioritized. Reconstruction of large defects may require a multidisciplinary team. Genitourinary and gastrointestinal diversions should be considered to improve wound healing, decrease infection risk, and optimize graft take. DISCUSSION A multidisciplinary approach to medical and surgical reconstruction of anogenital lesions should be considered for extensive malformations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore male human papillomavirus (HPV) contemporary genotyping epidemiology and correlations to peniscopy, cytology, and histopatology. METHODS Medical records of patients who had been submitted to HPV infection screening with genotyping, peniscopy, cytology, and histopathology in a period of 2 years were reviewed. Frequency analysis and correlations between the diagnostic tools were established. RESULTS Genotype of 1132 men resulted in 69.2% (784) positivity for HPV DNA, 78% classified as high risk of oncogenesis. Co-infections occurred in 429 (54.7%) and the most frequently identified types were HPV-6, HPV-42, and HPV-16, in 133 (17%), 94 (12%), and 86 (11%) patients, respectively. Positive/negative predictive values of peniscopy, cytology, and histopathology were 83/31%, 92/32%, and 87/33%, respectively. As a result, though significant, the correlations between genotype and non-molecular tests were poor. CONCLUSIONS In the current contemporary representative male cohort, over two thirds are positive for human HPV DNA, 78% of high risk and with over half co-infections. Though significant, its correlation with non-molecular tests is poor and while the positive predictive values of peniscopy, cytology, and histopatology are between 83% and 92%, their negative predictive values are as low as 31% to 33%.

Abstract
Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. There is a high detection rate in sexually active young people but the risk, in males, persists over years. Currently, the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention does not recommend the evaluation of men for HPV and, the extant bibliography, backs up this stance for several reasons. Objective of the paper was to evaluate the usefulness of HPV detection methods for men; A comprehensive and exhaustive review of the literature was performed. Many are methods for HPV detection used in cervical cancer screening as well as in the study and management of patients with cytological alterations of the lower genital tract. Need for HPV detection methods in men are numerous: screening for both partner/gender; anogenital warts; recurrent respiratory papillomatosis; HPV-related cancer in men; fertility. No HPV test for men has been approved by the FDA, nor has any test been approved for detection of the virus in areas other than the cervix. Many are methods for HPV detection that have shown their usefulness in some of the pathologies associated with male HPV but, despite this, none of them has been approved for man.

Abstract
Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) incidence is increasing significantly among men and often requires intensive therapy causing significant morbidity. Early detection of OPC is needed, when monotherapy can be safely delivered with less treatment-associated morbidity, while maintaining high cure rates. We conducted a study of 101 pretreatment male OPC cases matched 1:1 to 101 disease-free controls for age and smoking history. Oral gargles were collected from cases and controls with additional biopsies or aspirates from cases. The HPV SPF10 -LiPA25 PCR assay was utilized for HPV genotyping. Methylation of three CpG sites (438, 427 and 425) in the EPB41L3 gene and methylation status of the L1 (6,367, 6,389), L2 (4,257, 4,262, 4,266, 4,269, 4,275, 4,282) and E2 (3,412, 3,415, 3,417, 3,433, 3,436) CpG sites of HPV 16 positive specimens was assessed by pyrosequencing. Significant correlations were observed between tumor and oral specimens for all methylation biomarkers (p < 0.01). EPB41L3 and HPV 16 L1, L2 and E2 methylation were significantly (p < 0.0001) higher among cases than controls, regardless of early vs. late disease. When HPV 16 genes and EPB41L3 methylation status were combined in a logistic regression analysis, a sensitivity of 70.3% and a specificity of 90.9% were observed for the detection of OPC from an oral gargle. Our data suggest that methylation biomarkers measured in oral gargles may have utility in identifying OPC early. Future studies are needed to replicate these findings and to inform additional biomarkers that can maximize specificity and sensitivity for early OPC detection.

Abstract
Importance The most common cause of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and currently the standard of care to determine the HPV infection status in this type of carcinoma is to use p16 immunohistochemistry as a surrogate marker of high-risk HPV infection. Although p16 immunohistochemistry is limited by the inability to determine the specific HPV genotypes, oral gargle samples may be a readily available source of HPV DNA for genotyping. Objective To determine the specific HPV genotypes present in both oral gargle samples and tumor specimens. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective, biomarker cohort study conducted at a single specialized cancer hospital in Florida screened approximately 800 potentially eligible participants from May 2014 through October 2017. To be eligible for participation, patients had to meet all of the following criteria: 18 years of age or older, male sex, newly diagnosed as having stage I to IV cancer of the oropharynx, a squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis, treatment naive or at least 4 weeks after chemoradiation or surgical treatment of other diseases, fully understand the study procedures and risks involved, and voluntarily agree to participate by signing an informed consent statement. Main Outcomes and Measures Detection rate of HPV infection and HPV genotypes in oral gargle samples and tumor specimens. Results A cohort of 204 male participants with newly diagnosed oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma was assessed in this prospective collection of comprehensive clinical data and oral gargle samples. Most study participants (190 [93.1%]) were white and ever smokers (114, 55.9%), with a median age of 61 years (range, 35-87 years). The HPV infection status could be assessed in 203 of 204 participants (99.5%) using oral gargle samples: 35 samples (17.2%) were negative for HPV infection, whereas 168 samples (82.8%) were positive for HPV infection. The detection rate of HPV genotypes was 93.0% in tumor specimens (160 specimens) and 82.8% (168 samples) in oral gargle samples. The oral gargle samples frequently had low-risk HPV genotypes that were not detected in tumors, but these low-risk genotypes were always a coinfection with high-risk genotypes. Conclusions and Relevance Oral gargle samples can be used to detect the majority of clinically relevant HPV genotypes found in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, but the interpretation of HPV detected in these samples should be assessed with caution for general cancer risk assessment given that sensitive assays can concomitantly detect low-risk genotypes.

Abstract
Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) is currently classified in human papillomavirus (HPV)- and non-HPV-related subtypes with variable HPV genotypes. PeINs are frequently associated with other intraepithelial lesions in the same specimen. The aim of this study was to detect and compare HPV genotypes in PeINs and associated lesions using high-precision laser capture microdissection-polymerase chain reaction and p16INK4a immunostaining. We evaluated resected penile specimens from 8 patients and identified 33 PeINs and 54 associated lesions. The most common subtype was warty PeIN, followed by warty-basaloid and basaloid PeIN. Associated lesions were classical condylomas (17 cases), atypical classical condylomas (2 cases), flat condylomas (9 cases), atypical flat condylomas (6 cases), flat lesions with mild atypia (12 cases), and squamous hyperplasia (8 cases). After a comparison, identical HPV genotypes were found in PeIN and associated lesions in the majority of the patients (7 of 8 patients). HPV16 was the most common genotype present in both PeIN and corresponding associated lesion (50% of the patients). Nonspecific flat lesions with mild atypia, classical condylomas, and atypical condylomas were the type of associated lesions most commonly related to HPV16. Other high-risk HPV genotypes present in PeIN and associated nonspecific flat lesion with mild atypia were HPV35 and HPV39. In this study of HPV in the microenvironment of penile precancerous lesions, we identified identical high-risk HPV genotypes in PeIN and classical, flat, or atypical condylomas and, specially, in nonspecific flat lesions with mild atypia. It is possible that some of these lesions represent hitherto unrecognized precancerous lesions.

Abstract
Penile carcinoma is a relatively frequent health issue in the developing countries such as Africa, Asia and South America, usually affecting men aged between 50 and 70 years. It is a highly treatable disease in its early stages, but has serious physical and psychological consequences. Usually, penile carcinoma is located in the penile glans, in approximately half the cases, with the most frequent histological type being squamous cell carcinoma with its microscopic subtypes. A large number of risk factors have been reported for this disease, having a multifactorial etiology, HPV infection being one of the most important factors involved in its appearance. Out of the HPV DNA positive genital cancers HPV-16 is the most frequently found type in men, followed by HPV-18. The evolution of penile cancer includes two independent carcinogenic pathways, related or unrelated to HPV infection. There is limited data available in literature regarding HPV-related neoplasia, as well as on the efficacy of vaccination in men, with studies still ongoing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine external genital lesion (EGL) incidence -condyloma and penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN)- and genital HPV-genotype progression to these EGLs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants (healthy males 18- 74y from Cuernavaca, Mexico, recruited 2005-2009, n=954) underwent a questionnaire, anogenital examination, and sample collection every six months;including excision biopsy on suspicious EGL with histological confirmation.Linear array assay PCR characterized 37 high/low-risk HPV-DNA types. EGL incidence and cumulative incidence were calculated, the latter with Kaplan-Meier. RESULTS EGL incidence was 1.84 (95%CI=1.42-2.39) per 100-person-years (py); 2.9% (95%CI=1.9-4.2) 12-month cumulative EGL.Highest EGL inci- dence was found in men 18-30 years:1.99 (95%CI=1.22-3.25) per 100py. Seven subjects had PeIN I-III (four with HPV16). HPV11 most commonly progresses to condyloma (6-month cumulative incidence=44.4%, 95%CI=14.3-137.8). Subject with high-risk sexual behavior had higher EGL incidence. CONCLUSIONS In Mexico, anogenital HPV infection in men is high and can cause condyloma. Estimation of EGL magnitude and associated healthcare costs is necessary to assess the need for male anti-HPV vaccination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Describe the natural history of anal HPV among men. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study among men 18-70 years (n=665), from Cuernavaca, Mexico who completed questionnaires and provided specimens (HPV genotyped) at enrollment and 1+ follow-up visit. HPV prevalence and incidence were estimated. Prevalence ratios were calculated with Poisson regression using robust variance estimation. Person-time for incident HPV infection was estimated using number of events modeled as Poisson variable for total person-months. RESULTS Anal infection prevalence: any HPV type=15%, high-risk=8.4%, HPV16=1.4%, tetravalent vaccine types (4vHPV)=4.4%, nonavalent vaccine types (9vHPV)=6.3%. Factors associated with prevalence: 50+ lifetime female sex partners (adjusted prevalence ratio, a PR=3.25, 95% CI:1.12- 9.47), 10+ lifetime male sex partners (aPR=3.06, 95%CI:1.4- 6.68), and 1+ recent male anal sex partners (aPR=2.28, 95%CI:1.15-4.5). Anal incidence rate: high-risk HPV=7.8/1000 person-months (95%CI:6.0-10.1), HPV16=1.8/1000 personmonths (95%CI:1.1-2.9),4vHPV=3.4/1000 person-months (95%CI:2.3-4.9) and 9vHPV=5.5/1000 person-months (95%CI:4.1-7.5). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of universal HPV vaccination programs, including men, is a public health priority.

Abstract
Since 1995 it has been known that tumors harboring human papillomavirus (HPV) preferentially show basaloid or condylomatous histological features, while HPV-negative tumors have a different morphology. New classification models separate subtypes of penile squamous cell carcinomas in two groups, non-HPV- and HPV-related. It is purported that HPV-related tumors have better prognosis. Other features such as inflammatory cell-rich medullary, clear-cell, and lymphoepithelioma-like patterns are also strong predictors of the presence of HPV. These tumors are morphologically distinctive and with some experience, pathologists may recognize them after routine hematoxylin and eosin staining. Occasionally, p16 immunostaining may aid in differential diagnosis. The gold standard for HPV detection is polymerase chain reaction, but this technique is expensive and not available in most pathology laboratories. In situ hybridization is useful and p16 immunostaining can detect HPV in approximately 85% of cases. There is correlation between morphology and outcome. PATIENT SUMMARY: This mini review provides an overview of the latest classification for penile invasive carcinoma and penile intraepithelial neoplasia.

Abstract
Background Flat penile lesions (FPL) in heterosexual men are thought to play a role in the transmission of HPV. We investigated the association between FPL and penile HPV, and explored determinants of FPL in men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods In 2015–2016, MSM were recruited based on HIV and penile HPV status in a previous cohort. MSM self-completed a questionnaire. Peniscopy was performed after application of acetic acid to visualize FPL. Penile physician-collected samples were tested for HPV-DNA using the highly sensitive SPF10-PCR DEIA/LiPA25 system. HPV viral load (VL) was determined using a quantitative type-specific (q)PCR targeting the L1-region. Presence of HPV and HIV, HPV VL and circumcision status were compared between MSM with and without FPL. Results We included 116 MSM, of whom 59/116 (51%) MSM were HIV-positive and 54/116 (47%) had FPL. A penile HPV infection was present in 31/54 (57%) MSM with FPL and 34/62 (55%) MSM without FPL (p = 0.8). There was no difference between MSM with and without FPL regarding presence of penile HPV infection, HPV VL, HIV status or circumcision status (p > 0.05 for all). Conclusion Among MSM in Amsterdam, we found no association between FPL and penile HPV, HPV VL, HIV status or circumcision status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assess oral gargle-tumor human papillomavirus (HPV) agreement among oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) cases by several disease characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS 171 treatment naïve OPSCC were enrolled 2014-2017. Tumors were categorized as early or late disease with early disease defined as T1-2 with no nodal involvement or at most a single ipsilateral positive node <3 cm. Oral gargle samples were obtained via a 30-second rinse and gargle. The RHA Kit HPV SP10-LiPA25 was utilized for HPV genotyping of tumor (FFPE) and oral gargle specimens. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, percent agreement, and 95% exact binomial confidence intervals were estimated. Multivariable logistic regression models were fit to predict agreement. RESULTS 83.0% and 93.0% of oral gargle and tumor specimens were HPV positive. Oral gargle-tumor agreement for any oncogenic HPV type and HPV 16 was 73.7%. High oncogenic HPV oral gargle-tumor agreement was observed for late disease presentation, p16 positive cases, and tumors at the tonsils (74.5-80.8%). Similar trends were observed for HPV 16. Agreement for any oncogenic HPV and HPV 16 was significantly higher for late vs. early disease (77.9% vs 57.1%, p = 0.01). Oral gargle-tumor oncogenic HPV and HPV 16 agreement was independently associated with age ≥50 years and late disease presentation. CONCLUSION Overall, oral-tumor HPV agreement among OPSCC was relatively high. However, oral-tumor HPV agreement was significantly lower among younger cases and those diagnosed with earlier disease. Additional biomarkers are needed to improve oral HPV test characteristics to identify OPSCC early.

Abstract
It is currently recognized that in addition to the major impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in females, HPV causes considerable disease in men at the genitals, anal canal, and oropharynx. Specifically, genital HPV infections may progress to genital warts and penile carcinoma. Although studies concerning the natural history of HPV infections and associated neoplasias have mainly focused on women, during the last 2 decades considerable attention has been given in further understanding these infections in men. The HIM (HPV infection in men) Study, the only prospective multicenter study of male HPV natural history, consisted of a large prospective international cohort study in which men from Brazil, the United States, and Mexico were enrolled. The design and protocols of this study allowed unraveling crucial information regarding the relationship between HPV infection and clinical consequences in men, and associated risk factors at each of the anatomic sites where HPV is known to cause cancer in men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genital wart (GW) incidence is high among men. The percentage and rate at which subsequent GW events occur are understudied. The purpose of this study was to describe the rate of subsequent GWs, associated human papillomavirus (HPV) types, and time to subsequent GW event among unvaccinated men. METHODS The study was nested within a multinational prospective HPV natural history study of men aged 18-70 years in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, examined every 6 months for a median follow-up of 50.4 months. Subsequent GW events were defined as GWs detected after ≥16 weeks of the prior event. RESULTS Forty-four percent of men experienced ≥1 GW following the initial episode. Men with ≥2 subsequent events were at highest risk of continued GW experiences, with as high as 10 postinitial GW events. The incidence rate of each subsequent GW increased with increasing events (incidence of first subsequent event was 13.1 vs 36.6/1000 person-months for the fourth event). The proportion of GWs among HPV-6 and/or -11-positive patients remained constant across events. Approximately 63%-69% were positive for ≥1 of the 9-valent HPV vaccine types. CONCLUSIONS These data highlight the high burden of GWs among men across the lifespan and the need for vaccination to prevent multiple GW episodes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 40,000 new cases of anal cancer and 26,000 new cases of penile cancer occurred in 2012 worldwide. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is responsible for 88.3% and 33.0% of these cancers, respectively. The aim of this study was to describe the hospital burden associated with malignant neoplasm (MN) and in situ carcinoma (ISC) in the anus and penis in Spain from 2009 to 2013. METHODS This observational, retrospective study used discharge information obtained from the national surveillance system for hospital data, Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos, provided by the Ministry of Health. RESULTS We found 3,668 hospitalizations due to MN and ISC in the anus for both genders, and more than 55% of these hospitalizations occurred in men and were associated with a lower median age of hospitalization (p < 0.001), higher average length of hospital stay (ALOS) (p = 0.0032), higher hospitalization costs (p < 0.001) and higher hospitalization rate (2.141 per 100,000 males aged > 14 y old and 1.604 per 100,000 women aged > 14 y old, p < 0.001) than in women. During the same period, 4,156 hospitalizations due to MN and ISC of the penis were registered. The hospitalization rate was 4.320 per 100,000 males aged > 14 y old. The hospitalization rate due to MN and ISC in the anus in males increased significantly during this period (p = 0.048). CONCLUSION Our study provides relevant information about the hospital burden of anal and penile MN and ISC in Spain. This information could be useful for cost effectiveness analysis of universal HPV vaccination and for future HPV vaccination impact monitoring in Spain, and for other countries of similar socioeconomic status.

Abstract
Penile cancer is a rare disease in the United States, but rates are increasing, causing concern. Several risk factors have been associated with the disease, including human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Knowledge of HPV pathogenesis has led to the development of a vaccine, which has proven instrumental in reducing the incidence of female HPV-related cancers, but results in men have yet to be elucidated. Fortunately, rates of vaccination are up-trending in both males and females in the past several years. In addition, targeted therapies are the focus of several ongoing research efforts. Some of these therapeutics are currently in use, while several are in trials. With continued patient education and research, both treatment and prevention of HPV-related pre-malignant lesions and penile cancer will likely diminish.

Abstract
Laser capture microdissection-polymerase chain reaction (LCM-PCR) supported by p16 was used for the first time to demonstrate human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in histologically specific penile lesions, which were as follows: squamous hyperplasia (12 lesions, 10 patients), flat lesions (12 lesions, 5 patients), condylomas (26 lesions, 7 patients), penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) (115 lesions, 43 patients), and invasive squamous cell carcinomas (26 lesions, 26 patients). HPV was detected by whole-tissue section and LCM-PCR. LCM proved to be more precise than whole-tissue section in assigning individual genotypes to specific lesions. HPV was negative or very infrequent in squamous hyperplasia, differentiated PeIN, and low-grade keratinizing variants of carcinomas. HPV was strongly associated with condylomas, warty/basaloid PeIN, adjacent flat lesions, and warty/basaloid carcinomas. A single HPV genotype was found in each lesion. Some condylomas and flat lesions, especially those with atypia, were preferentially associated with high-risk HPV. Unlike invasive carcinoma, in which few genotypes of HPV were involved, there were 18 HPV genotypes in PeIN, usually HPV 16 in basaloid PeIN but marked HPV heterogeneity in warty PeIN (11 different genotypes). Variable and multiple HPV genotypes were found in multicentric PeIN, whereas unicentric PeIN was usually related to a single genotype. There was a correspondence among HPV genotypes in invasive and associated PeIN. p16 was positive in the majority of HPV-positive lesions except condylomas containing LR-HPV. p16 was usually negative in squamous hyperplasia, differentiated PeIN, and low-grade keratinizing variants of squamous cell carcinomas. In summary, we demonstrated that LCM-PCR was a superior research technique for investigating HPV genotypes in intraepithelial lesions. A significant finding was the heterogeneity of HPV genotypes in PeIN and the differential association of HPV genotypes with subtypes of PeIN. The presence of atypia and high-risk HPV in condylomas and adjacent flat lesions suggests a precursor role, and the correspondence of HPV genotypes in invasive carcinomas and associated PeIN indicates a causal relation. Data presented support the bimodal hypothesis of penile cancer carcinogenesis in HPV-driven and non-HPV-driven carcinomas and justify the current WHO pathologic classification of PeIN in special subtypes.

Abstract
HPV-11 and HPV-6 are the etiological agents of about 90 % of genital warts (GWs). The intra-typic variability of HPV-11 and its association with infection persistence and GW development remains undetermined. Here, HPV infection in men (HIM) participants who had an HPV-11 genital swab and/or GW, preceded or not by a normal skin genital swab were analysed. Genomic variants were characterized by PCR-sequencing and classified within lineages (A, B) and sublineages (A1, A2, A3, A4). HPV-11 A2 variants were the most frequently detected in the genital swab samples from controls and in both genital swabs and GW samples from cases. The same HPV-11 variant was detected in the GW sample and its preceding genital swab. There was a lack of association between any particular HPV-11 variant and the increased risk for GW development.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been identified as etiologic agent of various cancers for both men and women. However, HPV vaccine has not been recommended for men in China by far. To provide more evidences to promote HPV vaccination among males at high-risk of infection, this study investigated genital HPV genotypes among male attendees of sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic. Male attendees (⩾18 years old) were recruited from STD clinic of Beijing Ditan Hospital. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and self-reported sexual behaviors were collected based on questionnaire. Genital swab specimens were collected for HPV genotypes. Finally, a total of 198 eligible participants were included in the study. Nearly half of them were infected with at least one type of HPV. The prevalence of genital infection among participants with only heterosexual behaviors (50·91%, 56/110) was significantly higher than those with only homosexual behaviors (36·36%, 32/88) (P < 0·001). However, the distribution pattern of the most frequently observed HPV subtypes were found to be similar between these two subgroups. HPV31, HPV18, HPV16 and HPV58 were the most frequently identified high-risk types and HPV11, HPV6, HPV81 and HPV61 were the most frequently observed low-risk types. Our results, although need further verification by larger sample size, suggested that currently available HPV vaccines covered most prevalent HPV types observed in Chinese men. As HPV vaccine has been approved for application in females in China, molecular epidemiological studies and intervention studies among high-risk males should be promoted as well.

Abstract
Background Human papillomavirus type 6 (HPV-6) and HPV-11 are the etiological agents of approximately 90% of genital warts (GWs). The impact of HPV-6 genetic heterogeneity on persistence and progression to GWs remains undetermined. Methods HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study participants who had HPV-6 genital swabs and/or GWs preceded by a viable normal genital swab were analyzed. Variants characterization was performed by polymerase chain reaction sequencing and samples classified within lineages (A, B) and sublineages (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5). Country- and age-specific analyses were conducted for individual variants; odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the risk of GWs according to HPV-6 variants were calculated. Results B3 variants were most prevalent. HPV-6 variants distribution differed between countries and case status. HPV-6 B1 variants prevalence was increased in GWs and genital swabs of cases compared to controls. There was difference in B1 and B3 variants detection in GW and the preceding genital swab. We observed significant association of HPV-6 B1 variants detection with GW development. Conclusions HPV-6 B1 variants are more prevalent in genital swabs that precede GW development, and confer an increased risk for GW. Further research is warranted to understand the possible involvement of B1 variants in the progression to clinically relevant lesions.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of external genital lesions (EGLs), specifically histologically confirmed condyloma (genital warts) and Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PeIN), and genital HPV infection progression to EGLs among healthy men aged 18-73 residing in Brazil. Subjects included 1118 men enrolled in the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) study between July 2005 and June 2009. At each visit, EGLs were biopsied and subjected to pathological evaluation. HPV status in genital swabs and biopsies was determined by Linear Array and INNO-LiPA, respectively. Age-specific EGLs incidence and the proportion and median time to EGL development were estimated. Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence rates at 6, 12, and 24 months were determined. During follow-up, 73 men developed an incident EGL. Men could develop multiple EGLs and there were 36 men with condyloma, 27 men with lesions suggestive of condyloma, six men with PeIN, and 20 men with non-HPV lesions. HPV-positive men who developed EGLs were younger (p=0.002) than men that did not develop lesions. Among the 815 men with HPV infection, 4% progressed to EGL with the same HPV detected in the swab. During follow up, 15.7% of genital HPV-6 and HPV-11 infections progressed to condyloma (median progression time of nine months for HPV-6 versus 6.8 months for HPV-11). Approximately 1% of HPV-16 infections progressed to PeIN with a median progression time of 25 months. HPV types covered by the 4-valent HPV vaccine were detected in 82.3% and 83.3% of condyloma and PeIN, respectively. The high burden of HPV and high frequency of progression to disease underscores the need to offer HPV prophylactic vaccination to men to reduce the overall burden of infection and diseases caused by HPV.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess whether the incidence of histopathologically confirmed condyloma and penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) and rates of genital HPV infection progression to these lesions differs by country (Brazil, Mexico and the U.S.). At each visit, lesions were biopsied and were categorized by pathologic diagnoses. The Linear Array genotyping method was used to identify HPV genotypes from genital swabs, while the INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping Extra method was used for tissue specimens. Age-specific analyses were conducted for lesion incidence by country, with Kaplan-Meier estimation of cumulative incidence. The proportion of HPV infections that progressed to condyloma and PeIN, the median time to lesion development and the incidence rates were estimated by country. When comparing demographic and sexual characteristics across the three countries, sexual orientation (p = 0.008) and lifetime number of female sexual partners (p < 0.0001) were differentially associated with lesion incidence in the three countries. Condyloma incidence in Brazil and the U.S. decreased with age, while incidence remained constant across the lifespan in Mexico. There were no differences by country and age for PeIN incidence. HPV types 6 and 11 were the most common types to progress to condyloma and HPV types 16, 6 and 11 were the most common types to progress to PeIN in all three countries. The continuous risk of condyloma and PeIN across all age groups and countries in this study emphasizes the need to ensure that strong HPV immunity, such as that obtained through vaccination, is maintained across the lifespan of men.

Abstract
Background A variety of cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPV) are detectable in genital epithelial lesions in men and non-melanoma skin cancer patients. It remains unclear whether these viruses are associated causally with skin lesions. To date, no study has prospectively examined the association between cutaneous HPV seropositivity and development of external genital lesions (EGLs) in men. Objectives To examine the association between seropositivity to cutaneous HPV types and the risk of subsequent development of EGLs. Methods A nested case-control study including 163 incident EGL cases and 352 EGL-free controls in the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study cohort was conducted. Cases were ascertained at each of up to 10 biannual clinical visits and verified through biopsy and pathological diagnoses. EGLs were categorized as condyloma, suggestive of condyloma, penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN), and other EGLs. Archived serum specimens collected at baseline were tested for antibodies against 14 cutaneous HPV types (β types (5, 8, 12, 14, 17, 22, 23, 24, 38, and 47), α type 27, γ type 4, μ type 1, and ν type 41) using a GST L1-based multiplex serology assay. Socio-demographic and sexual behavior data were collected through a questionnaire. Using logistic regression, adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. Results Overall, seropositivity to ≥1 cutaneous HPV type (any-HPV) and ≥1 β types (any-β) was 58.3% and 37.5% among other EGL cases, 71.6% and 46.8% among condyloma, 66.8% and 50.0% among PeIN, and 71.9% and 38.4% among controls, respectively. Type-specific seropositivity was most common for ɤ-HPV 4, μ-HPV 1, and β-HPV 8. No statistically significant association was observed between any-HPV, any-β, and type-specific HPV seropositivity and subsequent development of EGLs across all pathological diagnoses. Conclusions Overall, seropositivity to cutaneous HPV was common among men; however, it appears that cutaneous HPV is not associated with the development of genital lesions in men.

Abstract
Answer questions and earn CME/CNE Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis is a rare malignancy in the United States, with a significantly higher incidence-up to 20 to 30 times greater-in areas of Africa and South America. This can be explained in part by the significantly greater prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases among high-risk males often having unprotected sex with multiple sexual partners. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been implicated as the infectious pathway by which several these penile neoplasms originate from precursor lesions. In this regard, a fundamental understanding of HPV in penile carcinogenesis can have meaningful implications in understanding 1) the diagnosis of HPV-related precursor penile lesions, 2) targeting HPV-specific molecular pathways, and 3) cancer prevention. Using vaccination programs not only may improve patient outcomes but also may minimize the need for highly aggressive and often debilitating surgical resection.

Abstract
Background Protection from naturally acquired human papillomavirus (HPV) antibodies may influence HPV infection across the lifespan. This study describes seroconversion rates following genital, anal, and oral HPV 6/11/16/18 infections in men and examines differences by HPV type and anatomic site. Methods Men with HPV 6/11/16/18 infections who were seronegative for those genotypes at the time of DNA detection were selected from the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study. Sera specimens collected ≤36 months after detection were analyzed for HPV 6/11/16/18 antibodies using a virus-like particle-based ELISA. Time to seroconversion was separately assessed for each anatomic site, stratified by HPV type. Results Seroconversion to ≥1 HPV type (6/11/16/18) in this sub-cohort (N=384) varied by anatomic site, with 6.3%, 18.9%, and 0.0% seroconverting following anal, genital, and oral HPV infection, respectively. Regardless of anatomic site, seroconversion was highest for HPV 6 (19.3%). Overall, seroconversion was highest following anal HPV 6 infection (69.2%). HPV persistence was the only factor found to influence seroconversion. Conclusions Low seroconversion rates following HPV infection leave men susceptible to recurrent infections that can progress to HPV-related cancers. This emphasizes the need for HPV vaccination in men to ensure immune protection against new HPV infections and subsequent disease.
