✦ Synopsis

The prevalence of some sexually transmitted viruses, possibly involved in cervical carcinogenesis, was studied in the cervix of women with normal cytology. The presence of human papillomaviruses (HPV) type 16 and 18, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genomes in cervical cells taken from 143 healthy Italian women was investigated using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The study population was divided into four groups with respect to age a s follows: group I, 17 to 25 years, n = 48 women: group 11, 26 to 35 years, n = 30: group Ill, 36 to 50 years, n = 32; and group IV, 51 to 70 years, n = 33. In the first age group prevalence rates of

Background. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), particularly those tumors endemic to the Far East, commonly harbor Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), thought to serve as an important oncogenic promoter. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with a proportion of upper aerodigestive tract carcinomas. We hypothe
