## BACKGROUND. Colposcopy biopsy procedure is a standard recommendation for atypical squamous cell cannot exclude high-grade lesion (ASC-H) in abnormal Papanicolaou smears. p16 (p16INK4a), a cell cycle regulator, has been shown to be overexpressed in squamous dysplasia. To further improve the diag
Brush cytology is routinely used in the assessment of pancreatico-biliary strictures but the technique has limited diagnostic sensitivity in malignant lesions. It has been suggested that ancillary techniques, such as the identification of p53 immunoreactivity, might improve diagnostic accuracy. p53
## BACKGROUND. In cervical lesions, the overexpression of p16 is reported to be closely associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The objective of the current study was to confirm the usefulness of liquid-based cervical specimens for p16 staining as well as tissue sections.
