Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of HPV in Squamous Carcinoma of the Oropharynx
15 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is routinely performed on oropharyngeal carcinomas. We compared the Access Genetics (Minneapolis, MN) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay (AGPCR), DNA-DNA in situ hybridization (ISH; Ventana, Tucson, AZ), and HPV-16 E7 PCR amplification in consecutively accessioned oropharyngeal cancers. We tested 126 cases by both PCR methods; 102 were positive by either for a maximum...
