Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigate human papillomavirus in fine needle aspirate sample to diagnose cyst in head and neck. Sample size is small to find significant relationships from the data. However, human papillomavirus was found only in sample from cancer. It suggest that it is useful for diagnosis of cancer or benign disease.
