Background: Some human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are oncogenic in the cervix and are also associated with benign and malignant proliferations in other organs. Currently, the association of HPV with tumors of the lower respiratory tract is not so clearly defined because the studies are difficult to compare; series of cases reported from different geographic regions have used frozen or formalin fixed samples and a variety of techniques of HPV detection.
Methods: The authors studied the prevalence of HPV in a large series of 185 frozen bronchopulmonary tumor samples with a new solution hybridization technique, Hybrid Capture II assay.
