ABSTRACT: Carcinoma cervix is a major cancer of women killing 510,000 women every
year worldwide. Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection of cervical cells
initiates the transformation of the cervical cells to malignant stage. HPV-16
is the most frequent type of HPV causing these changes. We report here the
elimination of HPV-16 from the infected cells of all (11/11) women positive for
HPV-16 by 30 intra-vaginal intakes of BASANT.
