Abstract

The detection of HPV 16 genotype may play an important adjunct role in assessing prognosis of cervical cancer patients. The clinical impact of the presence of HPV DNA in primary tumors and cancer free pelvic lymph nodes remains to be investigated in further studies. The exact mechanisms by which HPV influence the prognosis of cervical cancer patients have to be defined.
