| regional differences in cervical cancer incidence among american indians and alaska natives, 1999-2004. | reports from limited geographic regions indicate higher rates of cervical cancer incidence in american indian and alaska native (ai/an) women than in women of other races. however, accurate determinations of cervical cancer incidence in ai/an women have been hampered by racial misclassification in central cancer registries. | 2008 | 18720379 |
| comparison of human papillomavirus genotypes in archival cervical cancer specimens from alaska natives, greenland natives and danish caucasians. | archival, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cervical cancer specimens from 53 alaska natives, 32 greenland natives and 34 danish caucasians were analyzed for human papillomavirus (hpv) genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33, 35 and 45 and unidentified genotypes (hpv x) using pcr. the specimens were from the time period 1980-1989. no significant differences were observed in the overall hpv detection rates among cases from alaska (98.1%), greenland (84.4%) and denmark (85.3%). hpv genotype 16 was the most preva ... | 2000 | 10742684 |
