RNAscope for In situ Detection of Transcriptionally Active Human Papillomavirus in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Published on: March 12, 2014
Abstract:
Two thousand and two cases of cervical carcinoma were studied, and the patients were divided into 3 age groups specifically to study the prognosis of the young patient. The distribution of histologic tumor types was the same in all age groups. The young patients had a more favorable stage distribution and as a group a better prognosis than the older ones, but within each stage the same 5-year survival was found for all age groups. The period studied was relatively short (6 years), and modern therapy was available to all patients.
