Summary

1. Hypothesis:

If high risk genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the cause of cervical cancer worldwide, the genotypes associated with cervical cancer in Venezuela would be the same types found in other countries.
2. Objectives:

Primary objective:

The objective of this investigation is to determine the presence and genotypes of HVP infection in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (CIN 2/3), and Stage I cervical epidermoid carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma.

Specific objectives:

To establish the presence of HPV in cervical cancer patients in Venezuela by geographic distribution.

To establish which HPV types are linked with cervical cancer in Venezuela by geographic distribution.
