Abstract excerpt
We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to study the presence and typing of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA, and PCR/single-strand confirmation polymorphism to survey the mutations of the p53 gene in exons 5-9 in 26 bulky stage IB cervical cancers. The HPV DNA was present in 20 out of the 21 (...
