| Abstract: | Introduction: The Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the causative agent of cervical carcinoma in women. There is a global variation of HPV genotypes that are highly carcinogenic. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and type - specific distribution of HPV genotype in Maltese patients who were previously diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN 3) or cervical carcinoma. |
