Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women. In its carcinogenesis human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 are most important. HPV6/11 cause benign lesions. A small proportion of HPV infection(s) develop into cancer. Therefore, joint effects between HPVs and putative co-factors, Chlamydia trachomatis and smoking, are of interest but largely open. The aims of this work were to understand joint effects of infections with 1) HPV types, 2) HPVs and C. trachomatis, and 3) order of these infections in the carcinogenesis. For the 1st two aims, two case-control studies were nested within cohorts of Nordic biobanks. 1st linkage to cancer registers identified 182 cases of invasive cervical cancer (ICC, 148 squamous cell carcinomas, SCC) with ...
