PhD/MSc by Research: Molecular epidemiology of Human papillomavirus (HPV) in Sarawak, Malaysia

Brief synopsis:

Cervical cancer is the second killer of women in Malaysia after breast cancer. Cervical cancer is a preventable disease if detected earlier. Currently, annual cytological screening via Pap smear is recommended by the Ministry of Health, a project which existed since the 1960s but the current penetration rate is still remains below 50% with mostly returning patients. Cervical cancer is caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection to the cervix. The most prevalent HR-HPV genotypes reported in the West is HPV16 and HPV18 which are responsible for 70% of the invasive cervical cancer. Effective vaccine against HPV16 and HPV 18 is currently available.

In our preliminary study, the distribution of the HR-HPV genotypes in Kuching, Sarawak is distinct from the epidemiologic data obtained from the other parts of the world. This raises the question if the introduction of vaccines against HPV16 and HPV18 will benefit the local population as a whole as protection is genotype specific. Thus, it is crucial for us to elucidate the prevalence of the endemic HPV genotypes in Sarawak.

Objectives of the project: (1) to define ...
