| Research Abstract |
Firstly, as urine samples are suitable for large-scale studies of not only HPV but also other microorganisms that cause urethritis because of the ease and noninvasive nature of sampling, we have attempted to improve the analysis methods using urinary samples. We found that this method is applicable for detection of HPV in urine. In addition, eighty-four female patients with primary bladder tumor were studied. HPV-DNA was detected in 5 (6.0%) of 84 eligible patients, and we demonstrated that HPV infection is likely to play an important role in the development of female bladder tumorbased on various histopathological and molecular methods. Furthermore, we found that 47% of penile cancer was likely to be associated with penile HPV infection.
