c-ISH, cytological in situ hybridization; L-cell, large-sized cell; M-cell, medium-sized cell; S-cell, small-sized cell; LSIL, low-grade intraepithelial neoplasm; ASC-US, atypical squamous cells of undetermined signification; HSIL, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasm; CIS, carcinoma in situ; E, episomal pattern; I, integrated pattern.
Statistically #significant ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 ) between EI pattern in LSIL/ASC-US group and I > E pattern in HSIL group.
