PURPOSE to demonstrate the expression of biomarkers, detected by immunohistochemical techniques in healthy tissues, as well as in preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the uterine cervix. METHODS in order to evaluate the immunohistochemical reactivity of tissues from the uterine cervix to p16 and to type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV-2), 187 samples of low-grade intraepithelial lesions (LG-IE...

The natural history of intraepithelial abnormalities of the cervix associated with human papillomavirus infection was investigated in a prospective study of 50 women with vulval warts, of whom 28 had colposcopic evidence of a cervical epithelial abnormality and 22 a normal cervix. Of the 28 with a cervical abnormality, 26 were re-examined by colposcopy after three months; the epithelial abnorma...

The cervix is the lower aspect of the uterus. It is roughly cylindrical in shape, projects through the superior-anterior vaginal wall, and communicates with the vagina through the endocervical canal, which terminates in the external os located at the top of the vagina. Cancer of the cervix may originate from the mucosa of the surface of the cervix or from within the canal. Carcinoma of the uter...
