Persistent infection of the uterine cervix with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) is causally associated with cancer of the cervix. A few studies have reported the presence of HPV DNA in the blood of women with cervical neoplasia. The aim of this study was to determine if HPV DNA could be detec

✦ Synopsis
The sensitivities of dot blot hybridisation and in situ filter hybridisation for the detection of HPV DNA were compared. Dot blot hybridisation was 10-50 times more sensitive than in situ filter hybridisation in detecting HPV 16 DNA in the cervical cancer cell lines SiHa and CaSki. Cervical smears collected from 51 women with a history of one or more abnormal cervical smears were tested by both hybridisation techniques for the presence of HPV 16 DNA; 11 were positive in the in situ filter hybridisation, 35 in the dot blot hybridisation. Thirty-five cervical biopsies available from this group of 5 I women were processed for dot blot hybridisatiodn 30 of the 35 cases the results of this hybridisation corresponded with the results of the dot blot hybridisation on the smears.

## Abstract An archival survey of 98 cervical cancer specimens dating from the 1920s to the 1980s was undertaken to determine whether changes had occurred in the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA. HPV DNA was detected in paraffin sections of cancers fixed in 10% formalin by in situ hybri
## Abstract High‐risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing has a higher sensitivity but lower specificity than cytology for detection of high‐grade intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). To avoid over‐referral to colposcopy and overtreatment, hrHPV‐positive women require triage testing and/or followup. A
