The virus etiology of warty carcinoma of the uterine cervix

Abstract

Warty carcinoma is a rare form of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and has better prognosis than the high-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. It is suggested that human papilloma virus (HPV) is causing this type of cancer. Our results show that not all patients have presents of HPV and probably not only this virus is responsible for this type of cervical cancer.
