Risk of HPV-related extra-cervical cancers in women treated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Background: The aim was to estimate the risk of subsequent extra-cervical Human Papillomavirus (HPV) related cancer in patients surgically treated for high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2-3).
