چکیده
BACKGROUND Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) plays a role in the development of gastric carcinoma. However, there is controversy as to whether H. pylori infection increases laryngeal or pharyngeal cancers. METHODS We managed a systematic review of researches related to H. pylori infection in laryngeal or pharyngeal carcinomas, distributed up to December 2014. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were assessed by random effects models or according to heterogeneity I(2) . RESULTS Eleven studies were involved in the meta-analysis. Overall, H. pylori infection was significantly higher in the study group compared with the normal control group (OR = 2.87; 95% CI = 1.71-4.84; I(2) = 67.1; p < .0001, random effects analysis). The ORs for laryngeal carcinoma were 3.28 (95% CI = 1.91-5.63; I(2) = 58; p < .0001, random effects model). The ORs for pharyngeal cancer were 1.35 (95% CI = 0.86-2.12; p = .188, random effects model). CONCLUSION This study supported the proposition that infection with H. pylori was related to laryngeal carcinoma, specifically in the hospital-based control group and diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Nevertheless, no significant relationship was discovered between H. pylori infection and pharyngeal cancer. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: E2291-E2296, 2016.

Helicobacter pylori is probably the commonest bacterial infection worldwide and is now accepted as the cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric carcinoma, and gastric lymphoma. In the last few years, besides the local gasteroduodenal tissue damage, an association between H.pylori and various extra-intestinal pathologies had been described. Recent studies have suggested that H.pylori infection ...
