“…Samples analyzed in this study stem from a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sample repository from the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO), Barcelona, Spain, designed and constructed for the assessment of HPVs contribution to a number of anogenital human tumors [4,6,[8][9][10]. All samples were tested for the presence of tumor tissue and for the presence of HPVs DNA using the SPF 10 -LiPA 25 protocol, capable of genotyping HPV6, 11,16,18,31,33,34,35,39,40,42,43,44,45,51,52,53,54,56,58,59,66,68,70, and 74 (version 1; Laboratory Biomedical Products, Rijswijk, the Netherlands). For this study, we selected 711 invasive squamous cell carcinomas showing exclusively the presence of HPV16 DNA after LiPA 25 genotyping.…”
