This study aimed to describe Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) genotypes and women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) sociodemographic characteristics at the oncology reference centers. A secondary data of 325 records on CIN were analyzed from a cohort database conducted in two public institutions oncological service Northeast Brazil, July 2014 February 2016. The HPV genotype analysis was ...
