Abstract
Available data demonstrate an increase in the transcription of high‐risk papillomaviruses by the 16α‐hydroxylation of estrogens, which is in line with the epidemiologic data showing an increased cervical carcinogenesis risk for long‐term contraceptive‐using, HPV‐infected women. No evidence exists for an increase in HPV‐negative contraceptive users. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Concern was raised on using testing for high‐risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer screening in populations where HPV prevalence is high. The impact of HR HPV prevalence on the efficiency of HPV test‐based screening has never been directly evaluated. A meta‐regression
## Abstract In human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated carcinogenesis, HPV infection characteristics such as viral load may play an important role in lesion development. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between quantitative assessment of oncogenic HPV viral load, and abnorma
Fifty biopsies from high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HG-SIL) and 14 cervical carcinoma biopsies from Greek women were screened for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA sequences by Southern blot hybridization and by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of differ
Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, yet it is clearly preventable by population screening. The Papanicolaou (Pap) smear has proved to be the most successful test for the detection of precancerous lesions and is largely responsible for the reduction of ce
