โฆ Synopsis
Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA is frequent in invasive cervical cancers. Among 43 patients with invasive cervical cancer, HPV-16-positive tumors spread to the parametrial and pelvic lymph nodes significantly more often than did HPV-16-negative tumors ( P < 0.05). Demonstration of HPV-16 DNA in invasive cervical cancers may be an additional prognostic factor for this disease.

## BACKGROUND. The correlation between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and tumor prognosis in 159 Russian women with cervical carcinoma was investigated. The presence of various HPV types was correlated with the histologic parameters of the carcinomas and with their immunoreactivity with anti
