Synergy between Cigarette Smoking and Human Papillomavirus Type 16 in Cervical Cancer In situ Development

Abstract
Background: A majority of studies have implicated the involvement of cigarette smoking in cervical cancer development, although its mechanism of action remains unclear. We conducted a large population-based case-control study to address the potential interaction between smoking and human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) in development of cervical cancer in situ (CIS).
