Serotypes of Chlamydia trachomatis and Risk for Development of Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Article Abstract:
Women who are infected with chlamydia have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer. In a study of 128 women with squamous cell cervical cancer and 384 healthy women, Chlamydia trachomatis serotype G was most strongly linked to cervical cancer.

Human papillomavirus infection as a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
Article Abstract:
Infection with human papillomavirus 16 appears to be a risk factor for squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. This was the conclusion of a study of 292 people with squamous cell head and neck cancer and 1,568 healthy volunteers. This virus has also been linked to cervical cancer.

Evaluation of antibody response to human papillomavirus early proteins in women in whom cervical cancer developed 1 to 20 years later
Article Abstract:
A blood test based on the E6 and E7 proteins from human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 is not very accurate in identifying women infected with the virus who may develop cervical cancer, according to a study of 550,000 women. Only 7% of the women who eventually developed cervical cancer had antibodies to these viral proteins in blood samples taken up to 20 years earlier. Some types of human papillomavirus have been linked to cervical cancer, especially types 16 and 18.
