## BACKGROUND. A persistent genital infection with an oncogene-type of human pal)illomavirus (HPV) is considered to be essential for the development of most cervical carcinomas. Therefore, HPV analysis has been proposed as a possible complcinentary cytological screening program. The authors have d
Our study aimed at evaluating the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in a series of 84 paraffinembedded (PET) penile carcinomas. We have also investigated the presence of p53 mutations in these tumors by immunohistochemistry (IHC), single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA s
## Background: Mutations of the p53 tumor-suppressor gene are common in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (scchn) and may portend a worse prognosis. human papillomavirus (hpv) represents another potential prognostic factor for scchn. the oncogenic potential of hpv may be due to the abili
