Cervical cancer is generally a locoregional disease. The endopelvic fascia envelops the cervix in anterior-posterior fashion and serves as a natural barrier. Thus, cervical cancer preferentially grows to the parametria and involves the ureters before it infiltrates the bladder or rectum. Disease sta
Based on improvements in HPV detection technology, it appears that an almost 100% HPV association is reached for cervical cancer, as demonstrated in an accompanying paper in this issue of the Journal. Factors which may explain the rare cases in which no HPV DNA is detectable include: improper sampli
There has been considerable debate regarding the existence of HPV-negative cervical carcinoma. In this issue of the journal, using well-controlled methodology, Walboomers et al. demonstrate that HPV DNA is present in almost all invasive carcinomas in a large multinational study. This indicates that
Microsatellite instability has been found preferentially in tumours associated with the hereditary non-polyposiscolorectal-cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. This phenotype, manifested as new alleles at microsatellite loci, and often the result of a defective mismatch-repair gene, is seen as allelic mobility
