Detection of HPV-16 DNA by PCR in histologically cancer free lymph nodes from patients with cervical cancer.

چکیده
The prognostic value of detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA in histologically cancer free lymph nodes was assessed in left obturator lymph nodes from cervical cancer patients with HPV-16 positive primary tumours. HPV-16 DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction in 12 of 35 patients with histologically cancer free lymph nodes. Of these 12 patients, only one developed a recurrence, suggesting HPV-16 DNA detection in cancer free lymph nodes has no prognostic value.

Presence of human papilloma virus DNA in pelvic lymph nodes can predict unexpected recurrence of cervical cancer in patients with histologically negative lymph nodes.
Patients without any evidence of lymph node metastases are supposed to have a fair prognosis, but some of these patients develop recurrent disease unexpectedly after surgery. The object of this study is to examine whether the detection of human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA could be used as a diagnostic marker to predict such recurrences. Two hundred and thirty-six patients undergoing radical hyste...
