Franceschi S et al., 2002 | Prevalence and determinants of human papillomavirus genital infections in men | Br J Cancer 86:705–11 | Combined data collected in five case-control studies of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and two case-control studies of cervical carcinoma in situ (CIS) all carried out by IARC., published before 2000. |
