Genotyping of human pappilomavirus in cervical precancerous lesion and squamous cell carcinoma at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia

Background: Cervical cancer caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), is the second most common cancer for women. This cancer is distributed worldwide, with ~80% of cases are found in the developing countries. In Indonesia, data of HPV genotypes are still limited and do not represent all regions of the country. Thus, here we report genotyping of HPV samples collected from the Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya Indonesia patients, in 2013.
