<scp>HPV</scp>‐negative carcinoma of the uterine cervix: a distinct type of cervical cancer with poor prognosis

Abstract

An HC2-negative result is an uncommon finding in women with CC, but in almost half of these cases HPVs are identified by more sensitive techniques. CCs with confirmed HPV-negativity are more frequently adenocarcinomas, and seem to be associated with worse DFS.
