Lack of Association between Human Papillomavirus Type 16 and 18 Infections and Female Lung Cancer.

The article presents the results of a study on the lack of association between human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and 18 infections and female lung cancer. The researchers conducted a population-based case-control study in the Finnish Maternity Cohort to examine the role of HPV16/18 infections in female lung carcinogenesis. Results of the study indicate that the issue of HPV effects on lung carcinoma deserves further longitudinal studies through different HPV detection methods.
