April 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study reported genetic mutations in trichilemmal carcinoma similar to those found in other skin cancers, including TP53 mutations associated with aggressive disease.
2 citations
,
April 2020 in “International Journal of Dermatology and Venereology” This review summarizes current evidence on how beta-human papillomavirus and Merkel cell polyomavirus may contribute to the development of nonmelanoma and Merkel cell skin carcinomas, respectively, but it reports no new clinical findings.
September 2012 in “Reactions Weekly” Two girls experienced temporary hair loss after getting the HPV vaccine, which may be related to the vaccine.
April 2019 in “Radiotherapy and oncology” HPV infection is linked to better survival in advanced anal cancer, higher radiation doses improve survival, especially in HPV-negative patients, and prostaglandin E₂ pretreatment can protect mouse hair follicles from radiation damage.
4 citations
,
June 2005 in “British Journal of Dermatology” HPV 60 may cause cysts and warts on the face, not just hands and feet.
