Comparison of HPV DNA testing in cervical exfoliated cells and tissue biopsies among HIV‐positive women in Kenya
Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:00:00 +0100 | International Journal of Cancer
In conclusion, testing HPV on biopsies instead of cells results in decreased detection but not elimination of multiple infections in HIV‐positive women. The proportion of CIN2/3 attributable to HPV16 and/or 18 among HIV‐positive women, which already appeared to be lower than that in HIV‐negative, would then further decrease. The meaning of HPV detection in cells and random biopsy from HIV‐positive women with no cervical abnormalities remains unclear. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common form of cancer in the United States, but other than an association with the human papillomavirus, no validated molecular profile of the disease has been established. By analyzing data from DNA microarrays, a UNC-led team has completed a study that confirms the presence of four molecular classes of the disease and extends previous results by suggesting that there may be an underlying connection between the molecular classes and observed genomic events, some of which affect known cancer genes...
