High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is a precancerous condition caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). It involves abnormal changes in squamous cells, which are flat cells found on the surface of tissues such as the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, and anal canal. HSIL is primarily caused by high-risk HPV types, especially types 16 …

High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is a precancerous disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). It is composed of abnormal squamous cells that have been infected and transformed by the virus. Squamous cells are found in a thin layer of tissue called the epithelium which covers the inside surface of the anus and anal canal. …

HPV-associated squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of cervical cancer. It develops from squamous cells, the flat cells that line the outer surface of the cervix, following persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Most cases develop slowly over many years from a precancerous condition called high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). …

p16 is a protein produced by cells throughout the body that helps control how cells grow and divide. Because it acts as a brake on cell growth, p16 is known as a tumor suppressor protein — a protein whose normal job is to prevent cells from growing uncontrollably. In pathology, p16 is most commonly used …
