Objective: The objective of this work is evaluation of the prevalence of cervical cancer and determination of the role of HPV in cervical cancer, in Minia Governorate. Methodology: Colposcopic-directed biopsy was done for one hundred females by colposcopist. One hundred women were included in this study for detection of HPV infection by histopathology, real time PCR and sequencing. One hundred biopsies were subjected to analysis for detection of HPV types 16 and 18 by histopathology, real time PCR and sequencing. Results and conclusion: Our histopathological results revealed that 15% of samples were positive for HPV and by HPV DNA real time PCR, 14% were positive. Our study reported that the infection was single in 9% and mixed in 5% and HPV type 16 was higher than type 18. The age range across the sample was 18–55 years with a median age of 35 years.
