The Bangladeshi researchers identified ‘human Papillomavirus’ (HPV) as the major cause in the development of cervical cancer.
Talking to The New Nation, Dr. Muzahed Uddin Ahmed, Professor of the University Grant Commission (UGC) and one of the researchers, said, “The causal role of human papillomavirus infections in cervical cancer was documented beyond reasonable doubt, but we have proved for the first time that the HPV is the major cause in the development of cervical cancer. Our finding has been accepted globally.”
According to him, the researchers revealed the finding in their presentation on cervical cancer research at the 6th biennial conference of the Asia Oceania Research Organisation on Genital Infections and Neoplasia (AOGIN) held in Beijing, China from April 25 to 27. The Bangladeshi researchers received the first prize for the best poster presentation on cervical cancer research done on the rural women and commercial sex workers in selected areas in the country, he said.
About the AOGIN, the UGC Professor said that the organisation is primarily devoted to the prevention and control of cervical cancer in the Asia and Oceania region.
