Detection of integrated human papillomavirus by human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 in situ hybridization: a valuable diagnostic tool in diagnosing cervical carcinoma?
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an important factor in cervical carcinogenesis. We describe 3 cases of patients with difficulties in diagnosing either a primary or recurrent cervical carcinoma. These cases illustrate that detection of integrated HPV is helpful in diagnosing cervical carcinoma.
