Core Tip	The burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers is not limited to the cervix, but includes the oropharynx and the ano-genital area. Moreover, emerging studies have reported the detection of HPV DNA in the tumoral mucosae of several epithelia, including the colorectum. This is the first study aimed to investigate the presence of HPV in specimens using clinically validated methodology, and it is the first to apply the molecular basis of HPV-related carcinogenesis. Because we only detected episomal HPV16s in low quantities, and it was transcriptionally inactive, we conclude that the virus unlikely plays a role in colorectal carcinogenesis.
