Ovarian carcinoma is one of the frequent causes of death from malignancies in the United States. A report excited the scientific community when human papillomavirus were identified in advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma tissues in 10 of 12 patients. A few studies also identified HPV DNA in ovarian carcinoma tissues. However, several researchers employing polymerase chain reaction techniques and using different oligonucleotide probes did not detect HPV DNA in ovarian carcinoma tissues. The objective was to determine the presence of the E6-E7 genes of HPV types 16 and 18 in archived paraffin-embedded malignant ovarian carcinoma using primers targeting. Archived human malignant ovarian cancer tissues (N = 20 cases) embedded in paraffin blocks were processed, and DNA was extracted and the presence of DNA verified by p53 amplifications. PCR analyses were performed on the extracted DNA together with appropriate controls. The results showed an absence of E6-E7 genes of HPV types 16 and 18 in ovarian carcinoma. However, the presence of other HPV types or gene regions is not ruled out and more studies are needed to resolve the question of HPV involvement in ovarian carcinogenesis.
