The multiplex HPV RNA ISH /p16 IHC showed that HPV positivity in our series is more frequently in usual squamous cell carcinoma than in special histotypes (19 out of 60 - 15 %- versus 6 out of 60 - 10 %-), in high-grade than in moderate/low grade carcinomas (6 out of 60 - 10 %- versus 4 out of 60 - 6.7 %-). This evidence concerns the gene CDKN2A and carcinoma.
