β¦ Synopsis
The aetiology of anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has recently been associated with a sexually transmissible agent--human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16. In this study clinical and pathological data from a prospective series of 67 anal SCC collected over a three year period were compared with the HPV type 16 DNA content of these tumours to determine whether any of the clinical or histological parameters might predict HPV DNA content in a tumour specimen. Of twelve clinicopathological variables examined none was significantly correlated with HPV DNA content at the p = 0.01 level.

## Abstract Molecular prognostic indicators for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), including HPVβDNA detection, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and p16 expression, have been suggested in the literature, but none of these are currently used in clinical practice. To compare these p
Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA is frequent in invasive cervical cancers. Among 43 patients with invasive cervical cancer, HPV-16-positive tumors spread to the parametrial and pelvic lymph nodes significantly more often than did HPV-16-negative tumors ( P < 0.05). Demonstration of HPV-16 DNA
Because the biological spectrum of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes present in cervical cancer lesions varies according to the geographical region studied, and because little genotype information is available for Central and Eastern European countries, we studied the endemic HPV-genotype spectru
