Introduction: p16 INK4a immunohistochemistry (IHC) is widely used to facilitate the diagnosis of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated neoplasia, when ≥70% of cells show strong nuclear and cytoplasmic positivity. In this study, we aim to compare partial expression patterns that do not fulfill the above criteria and seek biological implications in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).
All cases were diffusely and strongly p16 positive. One case originally diagnosed as a vulvar SCC with basaloid features was p16 positive, but upon review, it was an infiltrative basal cell
With increasing use of p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in diagnosis of premalignant lesions of cervix, we occasionally encounter p16 positivity in squamous metaplasia that lacks morphologic characteristics of "atypical squamous metaplasia" or of squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). Our study aims to investigate if transcriptionally active

Positive p16/ki-67 dual-stained cells with a brown cytoplasmic stain for p16 INK4a overexpression and a dark red nuclear stain for ki-67 expression within the same cell (red arrow); unaffected cervical epithelial cells without p16/ki-67
Background Genital infection with certain types of Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of cervical cancer globally. For early detection of premalignant dysplasia, evidences are coming out on the usefulness of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test as a potential tool compared with cytology and HPV DNA testing. Taking into account shortage of compiled data on this field, the aim of this systematic review
