Location of the tumors throughout the colon in correlation to the presence of HPV.
| HPV positivity | n | % | % total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proximal | caecum | 6 | 18.2 | 39.4 |
| hepatic flexture | 3 | 9.1 | ||
| colon ascendens | 1 | 3.0 | ||
| right hemicolon | 3 | 9.1 | ||
| Distal | rectosigmoid | 4 | 12.1 | 30.3 |
| sigmoid | 5 | 15.2 | ||
| colon descendens/sigmoid | 1 | 3.0 | ||
| Rectum | 10 | 30.3 | 30.3 |
N = number of HPV positive samples, % = percentage of HPV positive samples per location separately, total %: percentage of HPV positive samples in proximal, distal and rectal tumors.
