Detection of Human Papillomavirus DNA in Invasive Carcinomas of the Cervix by in Situ Hybridization1

چکیده
An examination of 27 invasive cancers of the cervix was performed using the technique of in situ hybridization using human papillomavirus DNA probes. Four tissues, previously found to harbor papillomavirus DNA by filter hybridization, were confirmed by in situ analysis. One further tissue never previously studied was also found to be positive by in situ hybridization. Overall, we found 33% of invasive cancers of the cervix to contain human papillomavirus DNA. In contrast, 55% of carcinoma in situ and severe dysplasia of the cervix were found to be positive for human papillomavirus DNA. These results confirmed that the sample population of patients in our studies have a relatively low association of human papillomavirus DNA with invasive cancers of the cervix and that in situ hybridization provides an effective complementa tion to filter hybridization for human papillomavirus-infected tumors.

متن کاملDetection of Human Papillomavirus DNA by PCR in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma from Turkmen Sahra, North-East of Iran
Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA has been identified in esophageal carcinomas. However, the incidence of HPV varies significantly in different geographical locations. In this study, neoplasms from Turkmen Sahra, a region in Golestan province in northeast part of Iran, with a high incidence of squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed for the presence of HPV DNA. Turkmen Sahra is located in the cancer...
