β¦ Synopsis
An integrated study on the role of human papillomaviruses (HPV) in cervical cancer has been conducted. Out of a total of 433 cases of cervical cancer, HPV-DNA was detected in 342 (79%) using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The incidence of HPV infection was not significantly related to histological types, although a lower incidence was noted in adenocarcinoma cases. The incidence of lymph node (LN) metastasis in adenosquamous carcinoma (55.6%) was significantly higher

E701p antibodies was associated with a shorter disease free interval ( P = 0.012) and poor survival (P = 0.049). However, this variable possessed no prognostic value after adjusting for FIGO stage and tumor size. Conclusions. The authors' findings indicate that the prognostic significance of serum
## Abstract Determining the causal attribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes to cervical disease is important to estimate the effect of HPV vaccination and to establish a type spectrum for HPVβbased screening. We analyzed the prevalence of HPV infections and their attribution to cervical
