    Sammanfattning : The principal aim of this thesis was to study the temporal relationship between human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16) infection and cervical carcinoma in situ, particularly focusing on the effect of viral load. Other aims were to study the role of additional factors, especially smoking and oral contraceptive use, in cervical carcinogenesis. LÄS MER

    Författare :Keng-Ling Chua; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The development of cervical carcinoma, in a vast majority of cases, is closely related to infections with certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus is supposed to exert its oncogenic effect mainly through interference with two proteins that are responsible for growth arrest as a response to DNA damage. LÄS MER
