✦ Synopsis


Substantial clinical, epidemiologic, and experimental evidence has reinforced the role of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types in the development of cervical carcinoma. The authors investigated HPV in the uterine cervix squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas of Finnish patients.

METHODS.

Specimens from 352 patients with uterine cervix squamous cell carcinomas and 108 with adenocarcinoma were examined for HPV DNA by polymerase chain reaction. The authors used consensus primers located in the L1 region, as well as HPV16, 18, and 33 type-specific primers located in the E6 region.

The aim of the study was to compare the accuracy of self-administered vaginal tampon (VT) specimens for the detection of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) with that of cervicovaginal lavage specimens (CVL). Two hundred seventy-four paired VT and CVL specimens were collected prospectively from women at r
