High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV), particularly HPV 16, are associated with invasive cervical cancer (ICC), and persistent high-risk HPV infection is considered to be a marker for progressive cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN). However, most high-risk, HPV-infected, pre-cancerous lesions

We microdissected 15 specimens of invasive cervical cancer co-existing with some of its precursors. Out of 15 cases, 10 carried HPV16, 2 HPV31, 1 HPV18 and 2 were HPVnegative. We found 3 HPV16 E6 variants among the 10 cases; one was A = = G in nt 131 (one case) and a second was A = = G in nt 276. Th
High rates of cervical cancer have been reported from parts of China and this may reflect a predominance of cervical infection with particularly aggressive human papillomavirus (HPV) variants. This PCR-based investigation of cervical tumours from Sichuan province in central China demonstrated an HPV
