Hybrid capture vs. PCR screening of cervical human papilloma virus infections. Cytological and histological associations in 1270 women

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We evaluated two molecular methods of HPV detection and their correlation with cytological and histological diagnosis in a large sample of Greek women. METHODS: All women with liquid-based cytology performed at a University Hospital between 2000 and 2003 were included.
